The services will benefit patients suffering from eye disorders like diabetes-related retina diseases, retinal detachment, vitreous haemorrhage and macular holes.
Established in 2010, the facility launched a new operation theatre with Carl Zeiss Lumera Opmi (surgical microscope) eye view system and Constellation, the world’s latest ophthalmic microsurgical instrument for retinal surgery.
