Sohana Eye Hospital in Chandigarh, a pioneer in eye care in North India, has launched the Tricity’s first exclusive Myopia Management Clinic, aimed at tackling the rising incidence of shortsightedness among children and adolescents. With over three decades of service, 20+ senior consultants, 500+ staff members, and an impressive record of 2.5 million successful eye surgeries, Sohana Eye Hospital, a charitable hospital run by the gurdwara management, has built a formidable reputation in ophthalmology. The new clinic comes at a critical time, as the Covid-19 pandemic saw a steep rise in myopia cases among younger patients. The clinic will operate every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3 pm to 5 pm, offering advanced diagnostic and treatment facilities to slow or halt the progression of myopia. “Myopia management is more than just prescription glasses; it requires thorough evaluation, advanced treatment, and expert care. That is exactly what Sohana Hospital intends to offer,” said Dr Amanpreet Kaur, Senior Refractive & Cataract Surgeon and COO. She highlighted that a dedicated team of 15 professionals, including senior consultants, junior doctors, and vision therapists, will lead the initiative. Trust Secretary Sardar Gurmeet Singh added, “Sohana Hospital has always been at the forefront of eyecare. This dedicated clinic, equipped with the latest technology, was the need of the hour”. Currently, the hospital handles a daily OPD footfall of 800 to 900 patients across specialties, including cataract, glaucoma, retina, cornea, dry eye, and neuro-ophthalmology. With this visionary step, Sohana Hospital reaffirmed its mission of advancing eyecare across North India.
