Cataract Treatment
Cataract surgery is the removal of the natural lens of the eye (also called "crystalline lens") that has developed an opacification, which is referred to as a cataract. Metabolic changes of the crystalline lens fibers over time lead to the development of the cataract and loss of transparency, causing impairment or loss of vision. Many patients' first symptoms are strong glare from lights and small light sources at night, along with reduced acuity at low light levels. During cataract surgery, a patient's cloudy natural cataract lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens to restore the lens's transparency.
Following surgical removal of the natural lens, an artificial intraocular lens implant is inserted (eye surgeons say that the lens is "implanted"). Cataract surgery is generally performed by an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) in an ambulatory (rather than inpatient) setting, in a surgical center or hospital, using local anesthesia (either topical, peribulbar, or retrobulbar), usually causing little or no discomfort to the patient. Well over 90% of operations are successful in restoring useful vision, with a low complication rate. Day care, high volume, minimally invasive, small incision phacoemulsification with quick post-op recovery has become the standard of care in cataract surgery all over the world.

Different types of lenses: After removing the cataract, an intra ocular lens is being implanted into the eye through the same key hole incision. Different types of lenses are available like monofocal, toric, multifocal etc. Which lens is suitable for you will be mainly decided by one to one discussion with your doctor looking at your A-scan measurement; your Life style, your Post operative visual demand and many other points.
Glaucoma treatment:
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally; 12 million Indians are affected from Glaucoma. More than 90% of them are undetected mainly due to lack of awareness, resources & inadequate eye care services.
Dr. Amit Solanki has done specialised fellowship in GLAUCOMA. He can advice the best possible treatment option suitable to the glaucoma patient according to his disease condition like the latest topical glaucoma medications or laser treatment or glaucoma filtering surgeries.
Refractive treatment:
Laser Assisted Stromal In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is a method of re-shaping the external surface of eye (cornea) with cool beam of light (LASER) to correct near- sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.
Dr. Amit Solanki has done his special training in LASIK at Baroda, Gujarat. He has operated many patients for removal of glasses on different LASIK machines. At present he is operating on most advanced High Definition LASIK Laser machine.
c. ICL (implantable collomar lenses) : If your numbers are too high and/or your cornea is very thin; then you may not be a suitable candidate for LASIK. So by ICL technique you can get freedom from your glasses. Dr. Solanki has removed more than -17 glasses numbers of a patient using ICL technique.
