Ophthalmology

Eye Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai

CritiCare Asia Hospitals, an eye hospital in Juhu, Mumbai, offers care for eye conditions across all age groups, from a child who squints to an older adult with clouding vision. Our ophthalmologists begin with a detailed eye examination and add specialised testing only where the case calls for it. Care moves through clear stages: assessment, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. The aim is to protect and restore sight now, and to address whatever is putting it at risk over the long term.

Conditions We Treat

  • Cataract
    clouding of the natural lens that causes blurred, dim or glare-prone vision and, over time, makes daily tasks harder
  • Glaucoma
    damage to the optic nerve, often linked to raised pressure inside the eye, which can narrow vision gradually and without early warning
  • Corneal Disease
    scarring, thinning or clouding of the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, which may need a corneal transplant (keratoplasty) when vision cannot be restored otherwise
  • Retinal Conditions
    problems of the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye, including diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and retinal detachment
  • Age-Related Macular Degeneration
    gradual damage to the macula, the part of the retina that gives sharp central vision
  • Children's Eye Problems
    refractive errors, lazy eye and retinopathy of prematurity in premature babies
  • Dry Eye
    too few tears, or tears that evaporate too fast, leaving the eyes burning, gritty and inflamed
  • Eye Movement Disorders and Squint
    eyes that do not move together or steadily, or that turn in, out, up or down
  • Proptosis (Bulging Eyes)
    forward displacement of the eye, most often linked to thyroid eye disease

Treatments & Procedures

  • Cataract Surgery
    removal of the clouded lens and its replacement with an artificial lens to restore clear vision
  • Keratoplasty (Corneal Transplant)
    replacement of a damaged cornea with healthy donor tissue
  • Glaucoma Treatment
    pressure-lowering care, with the method chosen according to the type and stage of the disease
  • Retinal Laser
    used for diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears
  • Vitreoretinal Surgery
    including buckle procedures and complex vitrectomy, for retinal detachment and advanced retinal disease
  • Anti-VEGF Injections and Photodynamic Therapy
    for the wet form of macular degeneration and selected cases
  • Children's Eye Treatment
    spectacles, patching for lazy eye, and timely screening and treatment for retinopathy of prematurity
  • Dry Eye Management
    lubricating drops, lid hygiene, treatment of blocked oil glands and punctal plugs (tiny plugs that keep tears from draining away) when needed
  • Squint Surgery and Eye Movement Care
    prisms, medication or eye muscle surgery, depending on the cause
  • Orbital Decompression
    surgery for proptosis when vision or comfort is at risk

Meet Our Specialists

Our ophthalmology team evaluates each case through detailed history-taking, a thorough eye examination and, where relevant, retinal or corneal assessment, before recommending a treatment path. Findings are explained in plain terms, so patients and families understand what is happening and why a particular option is being suggested. Ophthalmology treatment decisions follow what each eye actually needs, not a fixed protocol applied to everyone.

Why Choose CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Juhu for Eye Care

Eyesight problems often share early symptoms, yet their causes and urgency differ widely. A blur may come from a simple refractive error or from a condition that needs prompt treatment. That is why care at CritiCare Asia Hospitals is built around identifying the cause, not only correcting what is most noticeable. Where medicines, glasses or laser are enough, they come first. Where eye surgery is needed, the reasoning is explained before any decision is made. Our approach includes:

  • Careful examination supported by further testing where the case calls for it
  • Comprehensive eye care in Mumbai covering the front of the eye, the retina, children's eyes and the eye socket
  • Surgery considered only when other measures will not protect or restore vision
  • Regular reviews for long-term conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration
  • Screening and follow-up for children, since vision problems caught early respond best
  • Follow-up care to track recovery and catch changes early

Frequently Asked Questions

Vision can be checked from infancy, and earlier for premature babies, who need screening for retinopathy of prematurity. Squinting, holding books or screens very close, head tilting or unexplained difficulty at school are reasons to book a check-up.

A corneal transplant is considered when the cornea is scarred, thinned, or clouded to a degree that glasses, medication, or other treatment cannot restore useful vision. The ophthalmologist decides after examining the cornea.

No. Glaucoma damage to the optic nerve cannot be reversed, which is why early detection matters. Treatment aims to protect the vision that remains and slow further loss.

Not always. A mild cataract may be monitored. Surgery is usually advised when the cloudiness begins to interfere with everyday activities such as reading, driving or recognising faces.

Consult an eye specialist if you notice blurred or distorted vision, floaters, flashes of light, a shadow across your sight, eye pain, redness that does not settle, or double vision. People with diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, or age over 40 benefit from regular check-ups even without symptoms.
