Investigation And Minor Surgery Unit

At Himalaya Eye Hospital (HEH), the Investigation and Minor Surgery Unit is dedicated to diagnosis and treatment of chalazion, corneal foreign bodies, minor ocular damage, and anomalies of the eyelids, including entropion and ectropion. With its efficient handling of various conditions, the unit guarantees the best possible patient outcomes with the shortest possible hospital stay.

An essential part of Minor Surgery Unit services is a thorough pre-operative evaluation. For minor surgical operations, this comprises a  clinical assessment like Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP), lacrimal Syringing and any other required investigations to guarantee patient safety. Anesthesia planning, infection prevention, and ocular surface health receive particular care.

Minor Surgical Unit offers chalazion incision and curettage under local anesthetic. Sterile procedures are used for removing foreign bodies from the cornea to avoid problems like infections or corneal scarring. Cases of minor trauma, such as minor cuts or blunt injuries, are treated with the proper surgical repair and aftercare. Corrective surgical techniques are used to restore eyelid function in cases of entropion and ectropion, which improves comfort and eyesight.

With an emphasis on accuracy, patient safety, and effective treatment, the Minor Surgery Unit is essential to HEH's goal of offering affordable, superior ophthalmic treatments.
