Looking for an Eye Specialist in Chinchwad?
Patients looking for an eye doctor in Chinchwad may need different types of eye care depending on their symptoms and diagnosis. An ophthalmologist can examine the eyes, identify the underlying problem and recommend appropriate medical, laser or surgical treatment when required.
Dr. Rachana Tiwari provides evaluation and management for several common and complex eye conditions.
Cataract
Cataract can cause gradually increasing blurred vision, glare, difficulty seeing at night and faded vision. When cataract significantly affects daily activities, an ophthalmic examination can help determine whether surgery is appropriate.
Dr. Rachana Tiwari performs cataract procedures including:
- Phacoemulsification with foldable IOL
- Small-incision cataract surgery
- Pediatric cataract surgery
- Secondary IOL implantation
- Combined cataract and glaucoma procedures
- Combined cataract and vitreoretinal procedures
If you are searching for a cataract surgeon in Chinchwad, a consultation can help determine the type and stage of cataract and the appropriate treatment approach.
Glaucoma Treatment in Chinchwad
Glaucoma is an eye condition that can damage the optic nerve and may progress without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Regular eye examinations can be particularly important for people who have risk factors for glaucoma.
Dr. Rachana Tiwari has advanced training in glaucoma from HV Desai Eye Institute, Pune. Glaucoma-related services include evaluation and management as well as procedures such as trabeculoplasty and trabeculectomy and the use of glaucoma valve devices and implants when clinically indicated.
If you are searching for a glaucoma specialist in Chinchwad, an ophthalmology consultation can help assess eye pressure, optic nerve health and visual field where appropriate.
Dry Eye Care
Dry eye can cause burning, irritation, watering, redness, fluctuating vision or a gritty sensation in the eyes.
The condition can have several contributing factors, so an eye examination is useful when symptoms are persistent, recurrent or affecting vision and daily activities.
Dr. Rachana Tiwari provides comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation and management for dry eye and other ocular surface concerns.
Diabetic Retinopathy and Retina Care
Diabetes can affect the blood vessels of the retina and may lead to diabetic retinopathy. Some retinal problems can develop without obvious symptoms during the early stages.
Patients with diabetes may therefore benefit from regular retinal evaluation as advised by their eye-care professional.
Dr. Rachana Tiwari provides diabetic retinopathy management and retinal services, including retinal evaluation, laser treatment and intravitreal injections when clinically appropriate.
Refractive Eye Care and LASIK
Refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism can affect distance or near vision.
Dr. Rachana Tiwari is trained in phaco-refractive eye surgery and provides refractive eye-care services, including LASIK and PRK where appropriate following a detailed evaluation.
Not every patient is a suitable candidate for refractive surgery. An eye examination and appropriate diagnostic testing are required before treatment.
Other Eye Conditions and Services
Comprehensive ophthalmology involves much more than cataract and refractive surgery.
The services associated with Dr. Rachana Tiwari’s ophthalmology practice include evaluation and treatment related to:
- Retina and vitreoretinal conditions
- Corneal conditions
- Uveitis
- Pediatric ophthalmology
- Squint and ocular motility disorders
- Neuro-ophthalmology
- Oculoplasty
- Ocular oncology
- Low vision
- Contact lens management
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic eye disease
Depending on the condition, diagnostic investigations may include visual field testing, OCT, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, corneal topography, Pentacam, specular microscopy and non-contact tonometry.
Eye Diagnostic Services
A detailed eye examination may involve different diagnostic tests depending on the patient’s symptoms and medical history.
Services available include:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT provides detailed images that can assist in evaluating structures of the retina and optic nerve.
Automated Perimetry
Visual field testing can help assess peripheral and central visual function and is commonly used when evaluating conditions such as glaucoma.
Fundus Photography
Fundus photography allows documentation and evaluation of structures at the back of the eye.
Corneal Topography and Pentacam
These tests provide information about the shape and structure of the cornea and can be useful during evaluation for selected corneal and refractive conditions.
Eye Surgeries and Procedures
Depending on diagnosis and clinical requirements, ophthalmic surgical services include cataract procedures, glaucoma surgery, retinal procedures, corneal surgery, pediatric ophthalmic surgery, oculoplasty and other specialized eye procedures.
The appropriate procedure depends on the patient’s examination findings, eye health, medical history and treatment requirements.
Why See an Ophthalmologist for Persistent Eye Symptoms?
Some eye symptoms may seem minor but can sometimes be associated with an underlying eye condition.
You should consider an eye examination if you experience:
- Persistent blurred vision
- Sudden or gradual changes in vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Increasing glare
- Eye pain or redness
- Persistent dryness or irritation
- Flashes or new floaters
- Difficulty with peripheral vision
- Diabetes with concerns about vision
- Symptoms associated with cataract or glaucoma
Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, significant eye injury or other acute vision changes require prompt medical attention.
