Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, expert answers to common questions about cataract surgery, LASIK, glaucoma, and ocular health.
Phacoemulsification (MICS) is a stitchless, needle-free cataract surgery performed through a tiny 1.8mm – 2.2mm micro-incision using ultrasound energy. The cloudy natural lens is replaced with a foldable intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure takes only 15–20 minutes with topical eye drops, and patients typically experience clear vision and resume light routines within 24 to 48 hours.
LASIK is ideal for individuals aged 18 and above with a stable eyeglass prescription for at least one year and healthy corneal thickness. We perform comprehensive pre-LASIK 3D corneal topography, pachymetry, and dry eye evaluations to determine if LASIK, PRK, or Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) is the safest and best option for your eyes.
Glaucoma gradually damages the optic nerve usually due to elevated intraocular pressure. Because peripheral vision is lost first and there is often no pain, patients may not notice any symptoms until significant permanent damage has occurred. Annual eye pressure checks and visual field testing after age 40 are crucial for early diagnosis and sight preservation.
All individuals diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes should undergo a comprehensive dilated retinal examination at least once a year, or more frequently if diabetic retinopathy or macular edema is detected. Early detection enables timely treatment with retinal lasers or anti-VEGF injections before vision is compromised.
Yes! Squint (strabismus) can be effectively aligned through specialized eyeglasses, visual therapy, or precision extraocular muscle realignment surgery. Amblyopia (lazy eye) responds remarkably well to customized patching and visual stimulation when diagnosed and treated in early childhood.
To prevent digital eye strain, every 20 minutes spent looking at a digital screen, look at an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Remember to blink frequently and use preservative-free lubricating drops if recommended during long screen hours.
Shalini Eye Hospital operates across three locations in Hyderabad: Shamshabad (Main OPD), Sun City / Bandlaguda Jagir, and Tukkuguda.
