VASAN EYE CARE SHIMOGA TO LAUNCH ADVANCED CATARACT & RETINA SURGERY FACILITIES

Vasan Eye Care Shimoga to Unveil Advanced Cataract & Retina Surgery Technology

Shimoga, Karnataka: Vasan Eye Care Hospital, Shimoga, is set to inaugurate its newly enhanced surgical facilities, introducing state-of-the-art technology for cataract and retina treatments. The upgrade includes the installation of a high-end Phaco machine and an ultra-modern surgical microscope, aiming to provide superior eye care services at affordable costs for the people of Shimoga district.

Addressing Growing Eye Health Concerns
Karnataka has been witnessing a significant rise in refractive errors among schoolchildren, particularly myopia, with over 1.73 lakh cases identified. Experts link this increase to excessive use of mobile phones and television screens, raising serious concerns about children’s eye health.

Dispelling Myths About Cataracts
Public misconceptions about cataracts remain widespread. Many believe the condition affects only the elderly, when in fact it can develop at any age—including in children. Another common myth is that cataracts can be cured through diet, exercise, or eye drops; however, surgical removal of the clouded lens remains the only proven treatment. Cataracts in younger individuals may result from diabetes, steroid use, trauma, or congenital factors. Modern cataract surgery is a simple, common procedure with a high success rate, contrary to the belief that it is dangerous or painful.

Eye Diseases and Treatment Options
Apart from cataracts, eye disorders such as myopia, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and ocular cancers are prevalent. Treatments include spectacles, contact lenses, medication, laser therapy, and surgery. Preventive lifestyle measures—such as a balanced diet, protective eyewear, and quitting smoking—can significantly reduce risks.

Celebrating Over a Decade of Service
Since 2012, Vasan Eye Care Shimoga has been delivering high-quality eye care to the region. The new technology will further enhance its capabilities in treating cataract and retina conditions.

Inauguration on August 15
The enhanced facility will be inaugurated on August 15 at 11 a.m. by Shri B.Y. Raghavendra, Member of Parliament, Shimoga. Distinguished guests expected to attend include former Deputy Chief Minister Shri K.S. Eshwarappa, MLAs Shri Channabasappa S.N. and Mrs. Sharada Poorya Naik, former Deputy Mayor Mrs. Vijayalakshmi C. Patel, MLCs Shri Arun D.S. and Dr. Dhananjaya Sarji R., district president Shri Sundaresh H.S., and Kannada film actor & chartered accountant Shri Adarsha K.G.

Expert Team at Vasan Eye Care Shimoga
The hospital’s medical team comprises Dr. Prasanna Kumar R. (Chief Medical Officer, Phaco & Glaucoma Surgeon), Dr. Gunashree K.N. (Vitreo-Retinal Surgeon), Dr. Rashmi H.G., and Dr. Shruthi Bidari (General Ophthalmologists), who together ensure comprehensive and world-class eye treatment for patients.
