Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]May 28: One of the most alarming trends in eye care is the rapid rise of myopia (farsightedness). Today, about 30% of the global population suffers from myopia, and it is estimated that by 2050 it will affect 50%, making it an alarming issue that will affect 5 billion people! Treatment options for myopia include glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery to correct the patient’s refractive error and improve distance vision.
Ojas Eye Hospital, recognized as a leader in advanced eye care, announced the introduction of Elita Silk, the latest and safest technology in laser vision correction at its flagship hospital in Bandra (West), Mumbai. It is the first eye hospital in Western India to adopt this groundbreaking technology. Patients recover within a period of 12 to 24 hours, the fastest in the history of the eye hospital
Elita Silk Laser Eye Surgery for Number Correction at Ojas Eye Hospital is a significant leap in laser vision correction, providing a quick, safe, blade-less and flap-less solution to say goodbye to glasses and contact lenses.
Commenting on the introduction of Elita Silk for the first time in Western India, Dr. Nitin Dedhia, Chief Medical Director, Ojas Eye Hospital, said, “At Ojas Eye Hospital, we have constantly adopted cutting-edge technologies in eye care. From introducing the first blade-less LASIK treatment in 2012 to introducing the Contoura femtosecond laser in 2018, we are now thrilled to bring the Elita laser to our flagship centre in Bandra. Committed to providing best-in-class eye care, Elita Silk laser eye surgery offers complete freedom from glasses with a 24-hour recovery period, ensuring exceptionally smooth vision correction.”
Dr. Nitin Dedhia, a global expert in LASIK procedures for 38 years, gained hands-on experience with the Elita Silk machine ahead of its commercial launch in the US in 2023. Since the commercial launch in December 2023, the team at Ojas Eye Hospital has successfully completed several Silk procedures and has seen excellent results for patients, with many patients achieving 6/5 vision, commonly known as “super vision”.
The number of people suffering from myopia is increasing at an alarming rate across the globe. Understanding the need to address myopia with advanced and highly precise techniques, Ojas Eye Hospital is currently the only eye hospital in Western India (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Goa) to offer this advanced technology with Contoura Vision technology at its facility in Bandra (West).
The average cost of silk eye surgery in India can usually range between INR125,000 to INR150,000 for both eyes. It is important to note that this estimate can vary depending on individual needs.
Currently, Ojas Eye Hospital is located in Bandra and Kandivali, with Bandra being its flagship centre spread over 3 floors. The medical team at Ojas Eye Hospital, led by Dr. Nitin, has successfully restored the vision of over 500,000 patients from across the world over the last 38 years. It has successfully operated on over 125,000 patients, including over 50,000 cataract procedures and over 50,000 advanced LASIK procedures. The hospital plans to open new state-of-the-art facilities at other locations in Mumbai in the near future.
