Eye conditions don’t just affect vision; they can also impact eye comfort, daily activities, and quality of life. Seeking care from an ophthalmologist can help assess the cause and severity of an eye condition and guide appropriate treatment. At Sterling Hospitals, Rajkot, our ophthalmologists provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of eye conditions, with care tailored to the patient’s diagnosis, age, and visual needs. Below is a list of ophthalmologists at Sterling Hospitals, Rajkot, who patients can choose from.
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the eyes and vision. They can perform comprehensive eye examinations, identify eye diseases and provide medical, laser or surgical treatment when required. Ophthalmologists may also have specialised expertise in areas such as cataract, retina, glaucoma, cornea or paediatric eye care, depending on their training and clinical focus.
Eye problems can affect different parts of the eye and may have different causes. At Sterling Hospitals, Rajkot, our eye specialists provide care for a range of ophthalmic conditions, with treatment planned according to the diagnosis, severity of the condition and the patient's individual needs.
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred or hazy vision. Cataracts may develop gradually and can make activities such as reading, driving or recognising faces more difficult. Treatment depends on the severity of the cataract, and surgery may be recommended when vision is significantly affected.
Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and lead to progressive vision loss. It may develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Treatment aims to control factors such as eye pressure and may include eye drops, laser procedures or surgery.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels of the retina. It can cause changes in vision and, in advanced cases, lead to significant vision loss. Treatment may include medicines, laser therapy or surgery depending on the stage and characteristics of the condition.
Retinal disorders affect the retina and can interfere with central or peripheral vision. Conditions may include retinal detachment, macular disorders and other diseases affecting the retinal tissue. Treatment varies according to the underlying condition and may involve medicines, laser treatment or retinal surgery.
The cornea can be affected by infections, injuries, degenerative conditions and other disorders that interfere with its clarity or function. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medicines, specialised procedures or surgery.
Refractive errors occur when the eye does not focus light correctly on the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Common refractive errors include short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. They may be corrected using spectacles, contact lenses or appropriate refractive procedures.
Children may develop eye conditions that affect vision or normal visual development. These may include squint, amblyopia and other childhood eye disorders. Early assessment and appropriate treatment can help address problems that may affect visual development.
Treatment for an eye condition depends on its cause, severity, the part of the eye affected and the patient's overall visual needs. At Sterling Hospitals, Rajkot, ophthalmologists may recommend medical treatment, laser procedures or surgery based on the diagnosis.
Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens. The procedure is commonly performed to restore vision affected by cataracts, with the choice of lens and surgical approach determined according to the patient's eye health and visual requirements.
Glaucoma treatment focuses on controlling eye pressure and preventing or slowing further damage to the optic nerve. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve prescription eye drops, laser procedures or surgery.
Retinal conditions may require different forms of treatment depending on the underlying disease. These may include injections, laser treatment or vitreoretinal surgery to manage retinal disease and address complications that may threaten vision.
Corneal conditions may be treated using medicines, specialised procedures or surgery depending on the nature and severity of the problem. In selected cases, corneal surgery may be considered when the cornea is significantly damaged or diseased.
Refractive procedures are designed to reduce dependence on spectacles or contact lenses in suitable patients. The appropriate procedure depends on factors such as the type of refractive error, eye health and individual suitability.
Squint, also known as strabismus, occurs when the eyes do not align correctly. Treatment depends on the cause and may include spectacles, exercises, other therapies or surgery in selected cases.
Changes in vision or persistent eye symptoms may require an eye examination, particularly when they are sudden, recurring or affecting daily activities. At Sterling Hospitals, Rajkot, our ophthalmologists evaluate the eyes, assess the symptoms, determine their underlying cause, and recommend appropriate treatment when required.
