DSAEK (Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty) is the gold standard for treating corneal swelling. By replacing only the damaged inner layer, we preserve 95% of your natural eye.
Direct WhatsApp: 7880177784
In the past, corneal transplants required removing the entire cornea and stitching a new one in place. This took over a year to heal.
DSAEK changes everything. We peel away only the diseased inner layer (endothelium) and slide in a healthy donor layer. Because the outer eye is untouched, the eye remains strong and vision recovers in weeks, not years.

Full Thickness Transplant
Partial Thickness Transplant
A precision surgery performed under local anesthesia.
The diseased endothelial layer is stripped away from inside the eye through a tiny incision.
The healthy donor graft is folded and gently inserted into the eye.
An air bubble is injected to press the graft against your cornea, bonding it naturally.

The eye is connected to the brain by the Optic Nerve, which consists of over 1 million tiny nerve fibers. Once cut, these fibers cannot be reconnected.
However, the front window of the eye—the Cornea—can be transplanted successfully. This is what restores vision for millions of people worldwide.
Fig 1: The Cornea (front) is replaceable. The Optic Nerve (back) acts like a cable to the brain and cannot be reconnected yet.

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped window at the front of your eye. It focuses light to let you see clearly. When the cornea becomes cloudy due to injury, infection, or disease (like Keratoconus), vision is lost.
A transplant replaces this cloudy window with a clear one. Today, we don't always replace the whole cornea. We often replace just the damaged layers.
Fig 1: A cloudy cornea blocks light, while a transplant restores transparency.
We choose the technique based on which layer of your cornea is damaged.
Penetrating Keratoplasty
Used when all layers of the cornea are damaged. The entire cornea is replaced. Requires stitches.
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Used for Keratoconus or scars. We replace only the front layers. The patient's own inner layer is kept intact. Safer & Stronger.
Endothelial Keratoplasty
Used for corneal swelling (Fuchs' Dystrophy). We replace only the thin back layer. No stitches & Fast recovery.
Advanced imaging (AS-OCT, Pentacam) to measure corneal thickness and health.
We source high-quality donor tissue from verified eye banks.
Performed under local anesthesia (painless). Takes 45-90 minutes.
Eye patch for 1 day. Drops for a few months. Regular follow-ups.

Cataract is a slowly progressive eye condition that affects vision over time. In its early stages, symptoms may be mild and painless, which often leads people to ignore them. Recognizing early cataract symptoms allows timely treatment and better visual outcomes.
WhatsApp Support: 7880177784
A cataract develops when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This clouding blocks light from passing clearly through the lens, resulting in blurred vision, reduced contrast, and difficulty performing daily activities.
Cataracts are most commonly related to aging, but they may also occur due to diabetes, eye injury, prolonged steroid use, smoking, or excessive exposure to UV light.
Objects may appear hazy, foggy, or unclear even with glasses.
Bright lights, sunlight, or vehicle headlights may cause discomfort.
Difficulty driving or seeing clearly in low-light conditions.
Repeated need to change spectacle power within short intervals.
Colors may appear dull, less vibrant, or yellow tinted.
Seeing double images when using one eye alone.
Dr. Charudutt Kalamkar, Medical Director at SGVEH, is an AIIMS-trained ophthalmologist with over 20 years of experience in advanced eye surgeries. He specializes in cataract, refractive surgery, glaucoma, and neuro-ophthalmology.
“Early detection of cataract allows surgery to be planned at the right time, leading to safer procedures and excellent vision results.”
If you are experiencing any early signs of cataract, do not delay. A timely eye examination can prevent further vision loss.
Early cataract symptoms include blurred vision, glare from lights, difficulty seeing at night, frequent changes in glasses power, and faded colors.
No. Blurred vision can also be caused by refractive errors, dry eyes, or retinal problems. An eye examination is required to confirm cataract.
No. Cataract is painless. Pain, redness, or sudden vision loss indicates another eye condition and requires urgent care.
No. Cataract cannot be cured with medicines or eye drops. Surgery is the only permanent treatment.
You should see an eye specialist if cataract symptoms interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, or work.

Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) • Paediatric Squint / Strabismus
बच्चों में squint (आँख टेढ़ी होना) सिर्फ cosmetic issue नहीं है—यह vision development को प्रभावित कर सकता है। अगर brain एक eye की image ignore करने लगे तो lazy eye (amblyopia) हो सकती है। इसलिए squint दिखते ही early evaluation बहुत जरूरी है—timely treatment से outcomes best आते हैं।

Dr. Charudutt Kalamkar
MS (AIIMS, New Delhi), MBBS (AIIMS, New Delhi)
Specializing in Cataract & Refractive, Glaucoma & Neuro Ophthalmology. बच्चों में squint care का सबसे important हिस्सा है—accurate diagnosis + early amblyopia prevention। SGVEH में detailed evaluation के बाद parents को clear, practical counseling दी जाती है।
बचपन में brain “binocular vision” (दोनों आँखों से एक साथ देखने की ability) develop करता है। Squint होने पर brain confusion से बचने के लिए एक eye की image ignore कर सकता है—यही lazy eye (amblyopia) बनता है। अगर समय पर treat न किया जाए, तो vision permanently weak रह सकता है।
खासकर hypermetropia (plus number) में eyes अंदर की तरफ turn (esotropia) हो सकता है।
एक eye की vision कम होने पर alignment बिगड़ सकता है—amblyopia screening जरूरी है।
Eye muscles की coordination issues या developmental factors से squint हो सकता है।
SGVEH में child-friendly तरीके से squint assessment किया जाता है: alignment measurement, vision testing, refraction (glasses check), binocular vision evaluation और amblyopia screening। Treatment plan बच्चा की age, squint type और vision status पर depend करता है।
Squint type (in/out/up/down), frequency, vision in both eyes, and refractive error measured.
Glasses, patching/amblyopia therapy, और selected cases में supervised vision therapy.
कुछ squint types में alignment correct करने के लिए surgery plan होती है—clear counseling + follow-ups के साथ।
WhatsApp पर बच्चे की age + squint कब से है + symptoms लिखकर भेजिए। अगर possible हो तो front-facing photo (straight look) share कर दें—SGVEH team appointment और next steps guide करेगी।
Pre-filled professional message खुलेगा — बस details भरकर send करें।
कुछ cases में intermittent deviations दिख सकते हैं, लेकिन true squint में wait करना risk बढ़ा सकता है। Early evaluation recommended है।
जितना जल्दी diagnosis हो, उतना बेहतर—खासकर amblyopia (lazy eye) prevention के लिए। Exact timing treatment type पर depend करता है।
कुछ बच्चों में—हाँ। खासकर refractive error related squint में glasses से alignment improve हो सकता है।
Lazy eye (amblyopia) में weak eye की vision improve करने के लिए patching किया जाता है—यह treatment का crucial हिस्सा हो सकता है।
Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) • Squint / Strabismus Guidance
Internet पर “squint ठीक करने की exercises” बहुत मिलती हैं—लेकिन squint (strabismus) एक medical condition है, और हर squint case में exercises काम नहीं करतीं। Exercises कुछ selected cases में helpful हो सकती हैं (जैसे convergence weakness), लेकिन कई cases में glasses, amblyopia therapy (patching), prism, या surgery की जरूरत पड़ती है। सही answer पाने के लिए squint का type + cause diagnose करना जरूरी है।

Dr. Charudutt Kalamkar
MS (AIIMS, New Delhi), MBBS (AIIMS, New Delhi)
Specializing in Cataract & Refractive, Glaucoma & Neuro Ophthalmology. Squint के case में diagnosis सबसे बड़ा step है—क्योंकि treatment (exercises vs glasses vs surgery) squint के type पर depend करता है। SGVEH में detailed evaluation के बाद patient को clear counseling दी जाती है।
Short answer: कुछ cases में yes, हर case में नहीं. “Squint” कई types का होता है—कुछ में main issue eye muscle balance है, कुछ में refractive error (glasses number), और कुछ में nerve/brain control related causes। इसलिए exercises को miracle cure समझना गलत है।
यहाँ भी exercises “random YouTube” वाली नहीं—बल्कि case-based, supervised plan best रहता है।
Constant deviation में अक्सर glasses/patching/surgery जैसी treatment planning जरूरी होती है।
बच्चे में delay से amblyopia risk बढ़ता है—early treatment vision development के लिए critical है।
Adults में अचानक squint या double vision medical evaluation मांगता है—home exercises नहीं।
SGVEH में squint care का core principle है: पहले exact diagnosis, फिर plan. Evaluation में alignment measurement, vision/refraction (glasses check), binocular vision assessment और जरूरत पड़ने पर related work-up शामिल हो सकता है।
Squint का type (in/out/up/down), frequency (constant/intermittent), और cause identify किया जाता है।
Glasses correction, patching/amblyopia therapy, prism, selected cases में vision therapy, और surgery when indicated।
Progress monitoring, child vision development support, और realistic expectations के साथ structured follow-up।

कुछ selected cases में exercises helpful हो सकती हैं, लेकिन कई squint types में glasses/patching/prism/surgery की जरूरत पड़ती है। Best approach: diagnosis-first.
आमतौर पर convergence insufficiency जैसी selected binocular vision issues में supervised vision therapy helpful हो सकती है।
बिना diagnosis के नहीं। बच्चों में delay से lazy eye (amblyopia) risk बढ़ सकता है। Specialist evaluation जरूरी है।
यह medical evaluation का case है। तुरंत eye specialist से consult करें—home exercises पर depend न करें।
Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) • Squint / Strabismus
Squint (Strabismus) में दोनों आँखें एक ही direction में align नहीं रहतीं— एक आँख straight देखती है और दूसरी अंदर/बाहर/ऊपर/नीचे की तरफ drift कर सकती है। यह बच्चों और adults दोनों में हो सकता है। अच्छी बात: squint का timely evaluation और सही treatment से vision और confidence दोनों improve हो सकते हैं।

Specializing in Cataract & Refractive, Glaucoma & Neuro Ophthalmology. Squint/strabismus evaluation में सही diagnosis (type + cause) बहुत important है—SGVEH में complete assessment के बाद personalized plan explain किया जाता है।
Normal स्थिति में दोनों आँखें एक साथ मिलकर same target पर focus करती हैं। Squint में eye alignment बिगड़ जाता है—एक आँख straight और दूसरी misaligned होती है। Misalignment अंदर की तरफ (esotropia), बाहर की तरफ (exotropia), ऊपर (hypertropia) या नीचे (hypotropia) हो सकता है।
चश्मे का नंबर (especially hypermetropia) सही न होने पर eye alignment प्रभावित हो सकता है।
Eye muscles या nerves की control issue (कुछ neuro causes) से squint develop हो सकता है।
Early childhood में binocular vision develop होता है—यही period squint treatment के लिए most important है।
SGVEH में squint assessment में eye alignment tests, vision/refraction, binocular vision evaluation और जरूरत पड़ने पर related work-up किया जाता है। Treatment plan patient की age, squint type और cause पर depend करता है।
Alignment measurement + vision testing + refractive check (चश्मे का नंबर) + binocular vision assessment.
Glasses correction, patching/amblyopia therapy, vision therapy (case-specific) — especially in children.
When indicated, squint surgery planning is done with clear counseling on expectations and follow-ups.

Specializing in Cornea & Corneal Transplant. SGVEH में आपकी condition का detailed evaluation करके—medical therapy, procedure options, और long-term care plan step-by-step explain किया जाता है ताकि treatment timely और safe रहे।
Cornea आंख का transparent “window” है—यहीं से light अंदर जाती है। जब cornea में infection (keratitis), ulcer, allergy, dryness, चोट, या scar/opacity होता है, तो vision blur, redness, watering, irritation, photophobia (रोशनी से तकलीफ) और pain हो सकता है। कुछ cases में early treatment से complication रोका जा सकता है—इसलिए delay नहीं करना चाहिए।
SGVEH में corneal evaluation के लिए detailed examination और जरूरत के अनुसार specialized testing किया जाता है। Treatment options condition पर depend करते हैं—medical drops/medications, supportive therapy, और advanced surgical planning तक।
Infection/ulcer, allergy, dry eye, inflammation—cause-based treatment + safe follow-ups.

हाँ। Corneal ulcer vision-threatening हो सकता है। Early diagnosis और सही treatment से complication risk कम होता है।
नहीं। गलत drops (खासकर steroid drops) infection को worsen कर सकते हैं। Doctor की सलाह जरूरी है।
जब cornea significantly damaged/opaque हो जाए या corneal failure हो—और vision medical treatment से restore न हो पा रहा हो— तब specialist evaluation के बाद corneal transplant plan किया जाता है।
Eye को rub न करें, कोई medicine self-use न करें, और तुरंत eye hospital/doctor से consult करें—खासकर अगर pain/vision drop हो।
