The Operation Theatre
Truly world class, dedicated to cataract surgery. The operation theatre at OCULUS is equipped with state-of-the-art high precision instruments and equipment to provide cataract treatment that is truly world-class.
Visu 150 ZEISS microscope : The microscope is at the heart of eye surgery. The excellent view of the interior of the eye, provided by the Zeiss microscope, ensures that your surgery proceeds safely and precisely to give you the best possible results.
This is the microscope used by the best cataract surgeons in the world. It is one of the 10 such microscopes installed in the city of Bombay.
Eartly Phacoemulsification machine : The new generation Eartly Phaco machine uses computer modulated phaco energy to reduce heat generation so that very advanced and complicated cataracts can also be removed safely.
High quality material : During surgery we use the best quality disposable materials. No expense is spared and the best available materials are used. For example titanium instruments instead of steel ones, powder-free gloves instead of regular ones , the best quality intraocular fluids and injections.
Standardised internationally accepted protocols : We have developed and put in place processes to achieve quality standards comparable with the best centres in the world. Best practices for disinfection of the operation theatre, 24 hour dehumidification and regular surveillance by air sampling are followed. The phaco handpiece is autoclaved between every surgery and is never reused; an on-line UPS makes sure that there is no break in the electricity supply.
Competent and supportive staff : All operation theatre and support staff undergo continuous up-gradation of skills .
Regular staff training programs help them keep up with the latest developments in scientific maintenance of the operation theatre. They are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and help to create a calm and empathetic environment for the patients during surgery.
