Pediatric Ophthalmology: Caring for Your Child’s Vision with Expertise and Compassion

Pediatric Ophthalmology focuses on diagnosing and treating eye conditions in infants, children, and adolescents, ensuring healthy visual development from the earliest stages of life. Children’s eyes are still growing and changing, making early detection and treatment of vision problems crucial to prevent lifelong impairments. Common pediatric eye issues include refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism), lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), congenital cataracts, and eye infections. Timely intervention can dramatically improve visual outcomes and support a child’s learning, growth, and quality of life.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, our pediatric ophthalmology team is dedicated to providing gentle, child-friendly care in a welcoming environment. Using the latest diagnostic equipment, we thoroughly evaluate your child’s vision and eye health, tailoring treatment plans to suit their unique needs. Our experienced specialists, led by Dr. S. M. Basha, are skilled in managing a wide range of childhood eye conditions, including specialized surgical procedures when necessary. We emphasize preventive care, vision screenings, and parental education to foster optimal eye development and long-term visual wellness.

Whether your child requires corrective lenses, patch therapy for amblyopia, or advanced surgical care, Esquare ensures compassionate and comprehensive treatment at every step. We understand the concerns of parents and the importance of clear communication, making sure you are fully informed and supported throughout your child’s eye care journey. Trust Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals to safeguard your child’s precious gift of sight with expertise, patience, and dedication.

Cataract Surgery: Restoring Clear Vision Safely and Effectively

Cataract surgery is a highly successful and commonly performed procedure that restores vision by removing the clouded natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts develop gradually with age or due to factors like diabetes, trauma, or prolonged exposure to UV light, causing blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. When cataracts begin to interfere with your daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces, surgery becomes the most effective solution.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we specialize in bladeless, sutureless, injection-less, and laser-assisted cataract surgeries, ensuring a safer, more comfortable, and faster recovery for patients. Our expert surgeon, Dr. S. M. Basha, has performed over 10,000 successful cataract surgeries, including complex cases and premium lens implants. The procedure is typically done under local or topical anesthesia, and most patients return home the same day. The surgery takes only about 10–15 minutes per eye, and vision often begins to improve within 24 to 48 hours. Advanced technologies like phacoemulsification and femtosecond lasers ensure minimal invasion and high precision.

After surgery, patients are given eye drops to prevent infection and inflammation, along with follow-up visits to monitor healing. Most people experience significantly clearer vision and improved color perception, often eliminating the need for thick glasses. With advancements like toric and multifocal lenses, many patients also enjoy freedom from reading glasses. At Esquare, our team ensures personalized pre-surgical evaluation, customized lens selection, and thorough post-operative care, offering a smooth and reassuring experience throughout your vision-restoration journey. Cataract surgery is not just about seeing clearly — it’s about regaining confidence, independence, and quality of life.

LASIK Surgery: Achieve Clear Vision Without Glasses or Lenses

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and highly advanced laser vision correction procedure designed to reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses. It works by reshaping the cornea — the clear front surface of the eye — so that light entering the eye is properly focused onto the retina. LASIK is an effective treatment for refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. For those tired of relying on glasses or contacts, LASIK offers a long-lasting, life-changing solution for visual freedom.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we use the latest bladeless, all-laser LASIK technology to ensure a high level of safety, comfort, and precision. The procedure is quick, typically lasting just 10–15 minutes for both eyes, and most patients notice a dramatic improvement in vision within 24 hours. Our expert ophthalmologist, Dr. S. M. Basha, performs LASIK with meticulous care, using advanced diagnostics to map your cornea in detail and customize the procedure to your unique eye shape and prescription.

Post-surgery, patients usually resume normal activities within a day or two with minimal discomfort. The results of LASIK are often immediate, offering crisp, clear, and stable vision. With decades of global success and millions of satisfied patients, LASIK remains one of the safest and most effective elective procedures in eye care. At Esquare, we are committed to guiding you through every step — from pre-surgery evaluations to thorough post-operative care — helping you regain sharp vision and a glasses-free lifestyle with confidence and ease.

Glaucoma Treatment: Protecting Your Vision for a Lifetime

Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss and even blindness. Known as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma usually develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular eye checkups essential—especially for those over 40, or with a family history of the disease. Early detection and proper treatment are the key to preserving vision and preventing further damage.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we offer comprehensive glaucoma care led by Dr. S. M. Basha, a highly experienced Glaucoma Surgeon with over 1,000 successful glaucoma surgeries to his credit. We use advanced diagnostic tools to monitor eye pressure, assess optic nerve health, and evaluate visual field loss. Depending on the type and stage of glaucoma, treatment options may include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical interventions. Dr. Basha is highly skilled in Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries (MIGS) as well as conventional filtration surgeries, which help control eye pressure safely and effectively.

Glaucoma treatment is typically lifelong, but with the right medical guidance and regular monitoring, vision loss can be slowed or prevented. At Esquare, we provide personalized care plans tailored to each patient’s condition, ensuring optimal eye pressure control and quality of life. Our commitment to innovation, precision, and compassionate care ensures that every glaucoma patient receives expert attention and ongoing support to maintain visual health for the long term.

Diabetic Retinopathy: Early Detection, Advanced Care for Vision Protection

Diabetic Retinopathy is a serious eye complication caused by long-term diabetes, where high blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina — the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to vision impairment and even permanent blindness. Early stages often show no symptoms, making regular eye screenings essential for all diabetic patients. As the disease progresses, patients may experience blurred vision, floaters, difficulty seeing at night, or sudden vision loss.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we specialize in the early diagnosis, management, and treatment of diabetic retinopathy through a combination of advanced imaging, expert evaluation, and tailored therapies. Our senior ophthalmologist, Dr. S. M. Basha, uses high-resolution diagnostic equipment like Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to detect even the smallest signs of retinal damage. Depending on the severity, treatment may include intravitreal injections, laser photocoagulation, or vitrectomy surgery, all aimed at halting disease progression and preserving vision.

Managing diabetic retinopathy requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining good blood sugar control with expert eye care. At Esquare, we are committed to providing ongoing monitoring and compassionate treatment, empowering patients to protect their vision and lead a confident, independent life.

Corneal Transplant: Restoring Clarity to Damaged Eyes

A corneal transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure used to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy donor tissue. The cornea is the transparent front layer of the eye that helps focus light for clear vision. When it becomes cloudy, scarred, swollen, or misshapen due to conditions like corneal dystrophy, infections, injury, or keratoconus, it can severely affect vision. A corneal transplant restores transparency and function, significantly improving vision and quality of life.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we offer advanced corneal transplant procedures using cutting-edge surgical techniques and high-quality donor tissue. Our skilled ophthalmologist, Dr. S. M. Basha, evaluates each case to determine the most appropriate type of transplant — from full-thickness (penetrating keratoplasty) to lamellar techniques (DALK or DSEK) — depending on the extent and depth of corneal damage. The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia and usually takes about 30–60 minutes. Post-operative care includes eye drops to prevent infection or rejection, along with regular follow-ups.

With modern microsurgical advancements and expert hands, the success rate of corneal transplants has significantly increased. At Esquare, we ensure personalized treatment plans, careful monitoring, and compassionate care, helping patients regain clarity, comfort, and confidence in their vision.

Dry Eyes: Causes, Symptoms, and Advanced Treatment

Dry Eye Syndrome is a common yet often underdiagnosed condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or when the quality of your tears is inadequate to keep the eye surface lubricated. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and even vision disturbances. Factors such as age, long screen time, hormonal changes, environmental conditions, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions like diabetes or autoimmune diseases can all contribute to dry eyes. Left untreated, it can damage the cornea and significantly affect your daily quality of life.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we specialize in the accurate diagnosis and advanced treatment of Dry Eye Disease. Our expert ophthalmologist, Dr. S. M. Basha, uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to assess the quantity and quality of your tears and identify the underlying cause. Symptoms of dry eyes may include a gritty or burning sensation, redness, excessive tearing (a reflex response), sensitivity to light, and blurred vision. It can feel like there’s something constantly in your eye, causing discomfort and distraction throughout the day.

Treatment is tailored to each individual’s needs and may include artificial tear supplements, prescription eye drops, anti-inflammatory medications, punctal plugs (to retain natural tears), and lifestyle adjustments like reducing screen time or using humidifiers. For more severe cases, we offer advanced therapies such as lipi-flow thermal pulsation, meibomian gland expression, or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy to address the root cause of tear film instability. Our comprehensive approach aims not only to relieve symptoms but also to restore long-term ocular surface health.

At Esquare, we understand how frustrating and persistent dry eyes can be. That’s why we combine clinical excellence, advanced technology, and compassionate care to deliver personalized, effective solutions. If you’re experiencing persistent dryness, discomfort, or irritation, don’t ignore the symptoms — early diagnosis and expert care can restore comfort and protect your vision.

Macular Degeneration: Safeguarding Your Central Vision

Macular Degeneration, or Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), is a leading cause of vision loss among individuals over 50. This condition affects the macula, the central portion of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision needed for activities like reading, recognizing faces, and driving. AMD comes in two forms: dry AMD, which progresses gradually and is marked by thinning of the macula, and wet AMD, which is more severe and results from abnormal blood vessel growth beneath the retina that can leak fluid or blood. Early detection is critical, as symptoms like blurry or distorted central vision may go unnoticed until vision loss has occurred.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we offer comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for both dry and wet forms of macular degeneration. Our retina specialist, Dr. S. M. Basha, uses advanced diagnostic tools such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fluorescein Angiography to evaluate the macula in detail and track disease progression. For dry AMD, patients benefit from lifestyle guidance, nutritional supplements (AREDS2 formula), and regular monitoring. In cases of wet AMD, we offer targeted anti-VEGF injections that reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and prevent further vision deterioration. All treatment plans are personalized to suit each patient’s condition, age, and visual needs.

Though there is currently no cure for macular degeneration, timely and appropriate care can preserve existing vision and significantly enhance quality of life. At Esquare, we also provide low vision aids, visual rehabilitation, and emotional support for those adjusting to changes in sight. Our goal is to deliver compassionate care combined with medical excellence, ensuring our patients are empowered and supported throughout their treatment journey. If you or a loved one is experiencing visual distortions, difficulty reading, or fading central vision, schedule a comprehensive eye examination — because early action can make all the difference.

Retinal Repair: Restoring Vision Through Expert Care

The retina is a delicate, light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that plays a vital role in vision by converting light into nerve signals sent to the brain. Damage to the retina—such as retinal tears, detachments, or injuries—can lead to severe vision loss or blindness if not treated promptly. Common causes of retinal problems include trauma, diabetes, aging, and other eye diseases. Early diagnosis and timely retinal repair are critical to preserving vision and preventing permanent damage.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we provide state-of-the-art retinal repair services using advanced microsurgical techniques. Our experienced ophthalmologist, Dr. S. M. Basha, specializes in treating complex retinal conditions with precision and care. Procedures may include laser therapy to seal retinal tears, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, or vitrectomy surgery to reattach the retina and restore its function. Our modular operation theater is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the highest standards of safety and success.

We understand that retinal emergencies can be frightening, which is why Esquare is committed to offering rapid, compassionate care combined with personalized treatment plans. Post-operative monitoring and rehabilitation support are also integral parts of our approach, helping patients regain and maintain their vision. With Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, you can trust expert retinal care that prioritizes your eyesight and overall well-being.

Uveitis Management: Understanding and Controlling Eye Inflammation

Uveitis is a complex inflammatory condition that affects the uvea, the middle layer of the eye comprising the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. This inflammation can cause symptoms such as eye redness, pain, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and the appearance of floaters. If left untreated, uveitis can lead to severe complications including glaucoma, cataracts, retinal damage, or permanent vision loss. The condition can arise from various causes such as infections, autoimmune diseases, trauma, or sometimes remain idiopathic with no identifiable cause. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are critical to controlling inflammation and preventing lasting damage to the eye structures.

At Esquare Eye and ENT Hospitals, we prioritize comprehensive care for uveitis patients by employing advanced diagnostic technologies to precisely determine the extent and cause of inflammation. Our expert ophthalmologist, Dr. S. M. Basha, carefully evaluates each case to develop a tailored treatment plan. Depending on the severity and underlying cause, treatment may include corticosteroid eye drops or injections to reduce inflammation, immunosuppressive drugs for autoimmune-related uveitis, or antibiotics and antivirals for infectious causes. Close monitoring through regular follow-ups is essential to assess treatment effectiveness, adjust medications, and promptly address any complications. Our holistic approach ensures patients receive the most effective therapies customized to their needs.

Managing uveitis is not just about medication but also about patient education and ongoing support. At Esquare, we emphasize empowering patients with knowledge about their condition, early symptom recognition, and the importance of adherence to treatment schedules to prevent relapses. Our compassionate team is committed to delivering exceptional care with a focus on preserving vision and enhancing quality of life.
