Eye allergy, or allergic conjunctivitis, occurs when your eyes react to irritants like dust, pollen, or smoke. The immune system mistakenly defends against these substances by releasing histamines, which cause inflammation. In industrial hubs like Raipur, Bhilai, and Korba, high particulate matter in the air makes this condition very common.
Fig 1: Common environmental triggers that cause eye allergies.
High AQI and construction dust are major triggers in urban Chhattisgarh.
Flowering plants and changing weather often cause "Spring Catarrh".
Microscopic skin flakes from cats or dogs can cause immediate itching.
Expired makeup or contact lens solutions can irritate sensitive eyes.
Unlike bacterial infections, allergies usually affect both eyes simultaneously.
Rubbing makes it worse!
Rubbing your eyes releases more histamine, which increases the itching. It creates a vicious cycle. Instead, try a cold compress or consult a doctor for anti-allergic drops.
Dr. Charudutt Kalamkar is a distinguished ophthalmologist trained at AIIMS, New Delhi. He specializes in diagnosing the root cause of chronic allergies and providing long-term relief plans.
Why Patients Trust Him: He moves beyond temporary relief drops to identify allergens and strengthen your eye's natural defense.

Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or more commonly, when the tears evaporate too quickly. A healthy tear film has three layers: Oil, Water, and Mucus. If the oil layer is blocked (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction), tears dry up instantly.
Fig 1: The 3 layers of healthy tears (Lipid, Aqueous, Mucin). Imbalance here causes Dry Eye.
We blink 66% less when looking at screens, causing rapid tear evaporation.
Air conditioning and Raipur's dry heat strip moisture from the eye surface.
Tear production naturally drops after 40, especially in women post-menopause.
Antihistamines, BP meds, and antidepressants often reduce tear secretion.
It's not just "dryness". Watch for these signs:
The 20-20-20 Rule
To reduce digital eye strain: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This resets your blink rate and relaxes eye muscles.
Dr. Charudutt Kalamkar is a renowned ophthalmologist with over two decades of experience. He specializes in advanced ocular surface disorders, moving beyond simple eye drops to treat the root cause of Dry Eye.
Why Patients Trust Him: He offers personalized treatment plans that restore long-term comfort and visual clarity.
Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) provides complete squint (strabismus) evaluation and treatment in Raipur. Squint can impact binocular vision (both eyes working together), depth perception, reading comfort, and in children may lead to lazy eye (amblyopia) if not treated on time. Patients visit SGVEH from across Chhattisgarh and Central India including Korba, Champa, Jagdalpur, Dhamtari and nearby Odisha.
Squint (strabismus) means the eyes are not aligned in the same direction. One eye may turn in/out/up/down. Early diagnosis helps improve eye coordination and reduce risk of amblyopia (lazy eye), especially in children.
Early evaluation is recommended for children. For adults with sudden squint or double vision, evaluation should be done promptly.
At SGVEH, squint treatment planning includes detailed evaluation of vision, refraction (glasses power), alignment measurements and binocular vision assessment. The approach may include glasses, amblyopia therapy, exercises and surgery planning when required—based on individual diagnosis and goals.
MS (AIIMS, New Delhi) • MBBS (AIIMS, New Delhi)
Cataract & Refractive Surgery • Glaucoma • Neuro Ophthalmology • Eye Care Planning
Note: Final specialist allocation and treatment plan depend on your clinical findings after examination.
One eye may deviate inward (esotropia) or outward (exotropia), sometimes more visible when tired.
Some patients tilt the head or turn the face to maintain comfortable vision.
New-onset squint with double vision should be evaluated to identify the cause.
Squint can cause amblyopia. Early diagnosis improves long-term visual development.
We check vision and glasses power. Sometimes correcting refractive error improves alignment.
We measure squint angle, eye movements and fusion to plan treatment accurately.
May include patching or other therapy—especially for children—to improve vision in the weaker eye.
Depending on type, plan may include exercises, prisms or squint surgery (eye muscle alignment) when required.
Follow-ups help maintain alignment and ensure stable vision development.
In some cases, yes—glasses, amblyopia therapy, prisms or exercises may help. Surgery is advised when needed for stable alignment.
No. Adults can also benefit for alignment, comfort and double vision control—depending on the cause and duration.
Not always, but it increases risk in children. Early treatment reduces risk of permanent visual reduction.

Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) provides advanced refractive surgery planning in Raipur to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. We offer evaluation and suitable options including PRK and implantable lens procedures like ICL / IPCL. Patients visit us from across Chhattisgarh and Central India, including Korba, Champa, Jagdalpur, Dhamtari and nearby Odisha.
Refractive surgery is designed to reduce dependence on spectacles by correcting power (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) using laser surface procedures like PRK or implantable lenses like ICL/IPCL for suitable candidates. A detailed checkup is essential to choose the safest option for your eyes.
Not everyone is a candidate. Cornea thickness, power stability, dry eye, and retina health matter—so proper screening is key.
SGVEH focuses on safe eligibility evaluation, realistic outcome counselling, and structured follow-up for stable, comfortable vision.
MS (AIIMS, New Delhi) • MBBS (AIIMS, New Delhi)
Refractive Surgery • Cataract • Glaucoma • Neuro Ophthalmology
Suitable in selected cases. Cornea surface reshaping helps reduce spectacle power when corneal parameters allow.
A lens is placed inside the eye to correct higher powers in suitable candidates, especially when laser options are not ideal.
Detailed measurements guide customized correction for cylindrical power (astigmatism) when appropriate.
Night driving, screen work, sports and dryness—planning is tailored for comfort and realistic expectations.
Power should generally be stable before considering surgery. We confirm stability during evaluation.
High myopia may be better suited for ICL/IPCL in eligible cases, after retina and eye health checks.
If lenses cause dryness, irritation, or allergies, an evaluation can help explore options.
People who want freedom from glasses for daily activities often explore refractive surgery options.
We measure your glasses power, check stability, and assess best-corrected vision.
Corneal thickness and topography help decide laser safety and detect keratoconus risk.
Dry eye can affect comfort and outcomes—treated and optimized before proceeding.
We check lens status and overall eye health. For high powers, retinal evaluation may be advised.
We suggest the safest option (PRK vs ICL/IPCL) with expected outcomes, precautions and follow-up plan.
It depends on cornea thickness, power, eye health and lifestyle. PRK is a laser surface procedure; ICL/IPCL is an implantable lens option. The best choice is decided after a full evaluation.
With proper screening and correct case selection, outcomes are generally good. Safety depends on corneal parameters, dryness control, and overall eye health.
Many people reduce dependence on glasses significantly, but results vary by power, healing response and future age-related changes. Counselling helps set realistic expectations.
Recovery depends on the procedure. Many patients resume routine activities soon, but vision stabilization can take days to weeks depending on the option selected.
Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) provides advanced retina and uvea services in Raipur, including diabetic retinopathy treatment, retinal detachment evaluation, macular disease management, OCT imaging, and retina laser procedures. Patients visit us from across Chhattisgarh and Central India, including Korba, Champa, Jagdalpur, Dhamtari, Bilaspur, Raigarh and nearby Odisha.
The retina is the light-sensitive layer inside the eye. Retina problems can damage vision silently—especially in diabetes. Early diagnosis using OCT and detailed retina examination helps protect eyesight and prevent permanent vision loss.
Diabetes, sudden vision drop, flashes, floaters, or a curtain-like shadow can be retina warning signs. Early retina evaluation is the safest move.
SGVEH retina care focuses on early diagnosis, precise imaging, treatment planning and structured follow-up for stable vision.

Detailed retina evaluation to detect tears, bleeding, swelling, degeneration.
OCT scans retina layers and helps detect macular edema and subtle changes.
Plan may include observation, medicines, laser, injections, or surgery depending on diagnosis.
Retina conditions often need scheduled follow-ups to protect long-term vision.
Yes. Diabetic retinopathy can be silent early. Regular retina screening helps prevent vision loss.
OCT is an imaging scan that shows retina layers. It helps detect macular swelling and retina changes accurately.
New floaters/flashes can indicate retina tear or detachment. A dilated retina exam is advised.
Many retina conditions can be managed with early diagnosis using medicines, laser, injections or surgery depending on the case.
Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) provides advanced cornea care in Raipur including cornea transplant, endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/DSAEK, DMEK), lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), keratoconus management and C3R (corneal cross-linking). Patients visit SGVEH from across Chhattisgarh and Central India, including Korba, Champa, Jagdalpur, Dhamtari and nearby Odisha.
The cornea is the clear front window of the eye. When it becomes scarred, swollen, infected or misshapen, vision can reduce significantly. Modern cornea procedures—especially partial layer transplants like DSEK/DSAEK—can restore clarity and improve quality of life.
If you have severe pain, redness, sudden drop in vision, or white spot on the cornea, consult urgently—corneal ulcers can progress fast.
Dr. Amrita Mukherjee focuses on modern cornea care—especially corneal transplant planning and advanced techniques to restore corneal clarity. Her work has helped many patients regain vision through corneal transplantation and structured post-operative care.
MBBS • DOMS • Cornea Consultant (LV Prasad Eye Institute)
Cornea • Corneal Transplant (DALK/DSAEK/DMEK) • C3R (Keratoconus)
Progressive cornea thinning and shape change. Managed with specialty lenses and C3R when suitable.
Redness, pain, watering and white spot. Requires urgent diagnosis and treatment to prevent scarring.
Scarring after infection/trauma can block vision. Transplant or lamellar procedures may restore clarity.
Blurred vision, morning haze. Often treated with endothelial transplant like DSEK/DSAEK or DMEK.
Corneal transplant replaces diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. Depending on the problem, transplant can be full-thickness or partial layer (lamellar).
DSEK/DSAEK is a modern partial-thickness transplant where the damaged inner corneal layer is replaced. It is commonly used for corneal swelling due to endothelial failure—often with faster rehabilitation and better corneal strength than older full-thickness methods.
DMEK replaces an even thinner inner layer. Suitable cases may experience excellent visual outcomes under expert planning.
DALK keeps the healthy inner layer and replaces the front corneal layers. Often used in keratoconus and selected corneal scars.
C3R aims to stabilize keratoconus progression by strengthening corneal collagen. It is often combined with specialty contact lens planning for best functional vision.
DSEK/DSAEK is an endothelial (inner-layer) corneal transplant used for corneal swelling due to endothelial failure. It replaces the damaged inner layer with donor tissue.
If corneal scarring, swelling or keratoconus has reduced vision significantly and glasses/contacts cannot help enough, transplant or lamellar procedures may be advised after evaluation.
Keratoconus is progressive cornea thinning/shape change. Early cases may benefit from glasses or specialty lenses. C3R helps stabilize progression; advanced cases may need DALK or transplant depending on corneal status.
Recovery varies by procedure type (DSEK/DSAEK vs DMEK vs full-thickness transplant). Follow-ups and medicines are essential for healing and vision stabilization.
Oculoplasty is the specialized microsurgery of the eyelids, tear ducts, and eye socket (orbit). Whether correcting a droopy eyelid (Ptosis) or treating watery eyes (DCR), we restore both function and natural appearance.
Direct WhatsApp: 7880177784
Many people mistake eyelid or tear duct issues for general eye problems. Oculoplasty procedures are broadly classified into four categories based on the anatomical structure involved:
Correcting malpositions for better vision and eye protection.
Fig 1: Ptosis (Drooping Eyelid) vs. Normal Eyelid Position.
Surgical lifting of droopy upper eyelids. This clears the visual field and restores a youthful, alert look.
Repairing eyelids that turn inward (rubbing the cornea) or outward (causing watering and redness).
Precise excision of eyelid cysts or tumors followed by microscopic reconstruction.
The permanent solution for persistent watering and sticky discharge.
When the tear drainage pipe (Nasolacrimal duct) is blocked, tears overflow onto the cheek. DCR Surgery creates a new bypass channel for tears to drain into the nose.
Blocked tear ducts cause infection and watering.
Managing bulging eyes (proptosis) and double vision caused by thyroid imbalance.
Reconstructive surgery for eye socket fractures after accidents or trauma.
Removal of excess skin and fat bags from eyelids for a refreshed look.
Non-surgical options to reduce Crow's feet wrinkles and fill under-eye hollows.

A revolutionary approach to treating corneal swelling. Unlike traditional transplants, Endothelial Keratoplasty (EK) replaces only the damaged inner layer—leaving the rest of your eye intact for faster, safer recovery.
Direct WhatsApp: 7880177784
The cornea is like a 5-layer sandwich. The innermost layer, the Endothelium, acts as a pump, keeping fluid out of the cornea to keep it clear.
When these cells fail (due to Fuchs' Dystrophy or post-cataract swelling), the cornea swells and vision becomes cloudy. Endothelial transplant replaces just this pump layer, not the whole cornea.
Fig 1: The Endothelium is the single inner layer responsible for keeping the cornea clear.
We offer both types of partial transplants tailored to your eye's condition.
Visualizing the difference: DMEK grafts are paper-thin, offering faster vision recovery.
Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty
Replaces the endothelium + a thin layer of supporting tissue. It is easier to transplant and highly successful for complex eyes.
Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty
Replaces only the endothelium membrane (ultra-thin). Offers the fastest visual recovery and lowest rejection risk.
A suture-less (stitch-free) technique using an air bubble.
Through a tiny incision, the damaged endothelial layer is peeled off.
The healthy donor graft is folded and gently inserted into the eye.
An air bubble is injected to unfold the graft and press it against your cornea.
You lie on your back for a few hours while the air bubble bonds the graft naturally. No stitches needed.
