Oculoplastic Surgeries in Dahod





Drashti Netralaya- Revolutionizing the eye care scene in Dahod

Drashti Netralaya is born out of the vision and commitment of eye care professionals Dr. Mehul Shah and Dr. Shreya Shah arising out of the lack of basic infrastructure in the second largest tribal belt of India, Dahod. Individuals blessed with normal eyesight hardly have the idea of living life in darkness and is highly undervalued. The gift of sight is priceless for sure!!!

According to the Right to Site, 80% of vision loss is preventable or treatable. Drashti Netralaya contributes in combating the situation by the means of the International Training & Research Centre at Dahod. While it conducts mostly clinical research it also concentrates on operational research. In India, a huge gap persists in the community of ophthalmic surgeons as well as the awareness among the general public about eye care. The International Training Centre is consistently active to bridge this gap by providing formal and informal education as well as by inviting international faculties.



The state of the art infrastructure facility has made possible to undertake cataract surgery, vitreo-retinal surgery, ocuplasty surgery, strabismus surgery, glaucoma surgery and LASIK surgery with the use of sophisticated devices. The Diabetic Retinopathy Screening allows diabetic patients to diagnose the condition early and receive effective treatment at reducing or preventing damage to sight. Children afflicted by many eye diseases require special knowledge and skills. The Pediatric Ophthalmology Services at Drashti Netralaya manage any such clinical or surgical eye problems efficiently.

Drashti Netralaya stationed at the tri-junction of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh has been consistently providing eye care delivery especially to the underprivileged tribal population.  The Mobile Camp and the Mobile Vision Centre, which is a clinic on wheels reaches to the remote population providing eye care services and also create awareness. The School Eye Screening identifies children with impaired vision due to refractive errors and they are timely helped.

After achieving paramount success, the journey continues for creating a brighter future for the residents of neighbouring small villages. It surely acts as a ray of hope in transforming millions of lives.
