Ophthalmology

Eye Hospital in Malad, Mumbai

Eye care is often a family matter. A child's squint, a parent's tired eyes, and a grandparent's clouding vision may all be discussed around the same dinner table. CritiCare Asia Hospitals in Malad is an eye hospital in Mumbai that treats eye conditions across all age groups, with care moving through assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Our ophthalmologists begin with a detailed eye examination and add specialised testing only when the case needs it. The goal is to protect and restore sight now and to address what threatens it in the years ahead. Families looking for ophthalmology treatment will find the same team following a patient from the first visit through long-term review.

Conditions We Treat

  • Cataract
    clouding of the natural lens causing blurred, dim or glare-prone vision that makes everyday tasks harder
  • Glaucoma
    optic nerve damage, often linked to raised eye pressure, that can narrow vision slowly and without early warning
  • Corneal disease
    scarring, thinning or clouding of the clear front surface of the eye, which may call for a corneal transplant (keratoplasty) when vision cannot be restored otherwise
  • Retinal conditions
    problems of the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and retinal detachment
  • Age-related macular degeneration
    gradual damage to the macula, which gives sharp central vision
  • Children's eye problems
    refractive errors, lazy eye and retinopathy of prematurity in premature babies
  • Dry eye
    too few tears, or tears that evaporate too quickly, leaving eyes burning, gritty and inflamed
  • Eye movement disorders and squint
    eyes that fail to move together or steadily, or that turn in, out, up or down
  • Proptosis (bulging eyes)
    the eye pushed forward, most often by thyroid eye disease

Treatments & Procedures

  • Cataract surgery
    the clouded lens is removed, and an artificial lens takes its place
  • Keratoplasty (corneal transplant)
    a damaged cornea is replaced with healthy donor tissue
  • Glaucoma treatment
    pressure-lowering care, chosen by the type and stage of the disease
  • Retinal laser
    for diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears
  • Vitreoretinal surgery
    including buckle procedures and complex vitrectomy, for retinal detachment and advanced retinal disease
  • Anti-VEGF injections and photodynamic therapy
    for the wet form of macular degeneration and selected cases
  • Children's eye treatment
    spectacles, patching for lazy eye, and timely screening and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity
  • Dry eye management
    lubricating drops, lid hygiene, treatment of blocked oil glands and punctal plugs (tiny plugs that stop tears draining away) when needed
  • Squint surgery and eye movement care
    prisms, medication or eye muscle surgery, depending on cause
  • Orbital decompression
    surgery for proptosis when vision or comfort is at risk

Meet Our Specialists

Our ophthalmology team takes a full history, examines the eye carefully and, where relevant, assesses the retina or cornea before suggesting a path. Findings are explained by eye specialists simply to the patient and to relatives who attend. Decisions follow what each eye actually needs, not one routine applied to all.

Why Choose CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Malad for Eye Care

Many eye problems start with the same blur, but the cause and the urgency are very different. That is why care is built around identifying the cause, not just correcting what is most noticeable. Glasses, medicines, or laser come first where they are enough. Where surgery is needed, the reasons are explained before any decision. We aim to offer:

  • Careful examination, with further testing where the case calls for it
  • Comprehensive eye care in Mumbai covering the front of the eye, the retina, children's eyes and the eye socket
  • Surgery only when other measures will not protect or restore vision
  • Continuity for long-term conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration, with reviews planned ahead
  • Children's screening and follow-up, since early problems respond best
  • Follow-up to track recovery and catch changes early

Frequently Asked Questions

Vision can be checked from infancy, and earlier for premature babies, who need screening for retinopathy of prematurity. Squinting, holding books or screens very close, head tilting, or unexplained difficulty at school are all reasons to book a visit.

Some do. A parent or sibling with glaucoma raises your own risk, and family history also matters for macular degeneration. Tell your doctor, and have regular check-ups even if you see well.

It is considered when the cornea is scarred, thinned or clouded to a degree that glasses, medication or other treatment cannot restore useful vision. The ophthalmologist decides after examining the cornea.

Yes. Diabetic retinopathy can be present without early symptoms, so people with diabetes need regular eye examinations that include a look at the retina.

They do not cause most serious eye disease, but they often make dry eye worse, with burning, grittiness and fluctuating vision. Lubricating drops and lid hygiene help, and persistent symptoms deserve an examination.

It can help. A relative can remember instructions, help with eye drops at home, and keep track of follow-up visits, especially for long-term conditions.
