๐๏ธ Cataract Surgery Services โ Pioneer of Phacoemulsification in India
Bladeless Robotic Cataract Surgery (FLACS): DIVA offers completely bladeless cataract surgery using Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) for a more gentle, precise, and safer procedure. The robotic system ensures computer-guided precision for corneal incisions, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation.
Phacoemulsification (Phaco): Dr. Dipan Desai introduced this revolutionary stitch-less cataract surgery technique to India in 1987. The procedure uses ultrasonic energy to emulsify the cataract lens through a tiny 2.2mm incision, enabling rapid visual recovery.
MICS (Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery): Ultra-small incision surgery through 1.8mm or smaller incisions for minimal tissue trauma and fastest recovery times.
Premium Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): Diva Eye Institute specializes in spectacle-free vision after cataract surgery using the latest generation IOLs including Multifocal IOLs (near, intermediate & distance vision), Toric IOLs (astigmatism correction), EDOF IOLs (Extended Depth of Focus), and Trifocal IOLs.
IOL Master Biometry (Carl Zeiss): Gold standard technology for precise IOL power calculation. Complemented by Pentacam, Specular Microscopy, and Macular OCT for comprehensive pre-operative assessment.
Tailored Approach: At Diva, every procedure is customized to best suit the patient’s lifestyle, needs, and budget โ ensuring a transforming visual experience.
โจ LASIK & Refractive Surgery โ ReLEx SMILE & Blade-Free LASIK
ReLEx SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): Diva Eye Institute is the only eye hospital in Ahmedabad to offer ReLEx SMILE using the VisuMax Femtosecond Laser System. This is the latest advancement in refractive surgery โ a minimally invasive, bladeless, flapless procedure for glasses removal with faster recovery and less dry eye compared to traditional LASIK.
Blade-Free LASIK (Femtosecond LASIK): All-laser LASIK procedure where both the corneal flap creation and reshaping are performed using laser technology, eliminating the need for any mechanical blades.
Custom LASIK (Wavefront-Guided): Personalized laser treatment based on unique eye measurements for superior visual quality and night vision.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): Surface ablation procedure suitable for patients with thinner corneas or those not eligible for LASIK.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): For patients with high prescriptions who may not be suitable candidates for laser-based procedures. The ICL is implanted inside the eye for permanent vision correction.
Presbyopia Correction: Specialized refractive solutions for age-related reading glasses dependency, improving quality of life for patients over 40.
Comprehensive Evaluation: Detailed pre-LASIK workup including corneal topography (Pentacam), corneal thickness measurement, wavefront analysis, and dry eye assessment to determine the safest and most effective procedure for each individual.
๐ฅ Comprehensive Specialty Eye Care Services
Glaucoma: Complete glaucoma diagnosis and management including visual field analysis, OCT nerve fibre layer assessment, and personalized treatment plans. The institute offers medical management, laser therapy (SLT, ALT), and advanced surgical interventions including shunt and tube surgery for complex cases. Each treatment plan is uniquely designed based on individual optic nerve tolerance levels.
Retina: Expert management of all retinal conditions including Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinal Detachment, Macular Degeneration (AMD), Macular Edema, Retinal Vein Occlusions, and Retinal Tears. Services include retinal laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injections (anti-VEGF, steroids), and minimally invasive sutureless vitrectomy surgery (MIVS). Over 5,000 retinal patients treated annually.
Cornea & Ocular Surface: Advanced corneal procedures including Keratoplasty (corneal transplantation), Lamellar surgeries (DSAEK, DALK), Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (SLET) for chemical/thermal injuries, Pterygium surgery with conjunctivolimbal autograft, and Corneal Tattooing.
Keratoconus Management: Comprehensive management including Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R), specialized contact lens fitting (RGP lenses, Rose K lenses), and Intacs implantation. Rose K lenses are the world’s most frequently prescribed lenses for keratoconus.
Dry Eye Management: Complete dry eye workup with customized management including artificial tears, punctal plugs, lipiflow, and lifestyle modifications for this growing epidemic linked to visual display screen usage.
Oculoplasty: Cosmetic and functional eyelid surgeries, ptosis correction, entropion/ectropion repair, orbital surgeries, and aesthetic procedures around the eyes.
Paediatric Ophthalmology: Comprehensive children’s eye care including vision assessment, amblyopia (lazy eye) treatment, squint (strabismus) correction, and paediatric cataract management.
