Jyotirmay Eye Clinic offers one of the most advanced and state of the art in-house surgical facility that is LAMINAR FLOW – Joint-less – Modular Operation Theater facility
The most important objectives behind our OT management are
- Highest Safety
- Strict Asepsis (Sterility)
- Accurate and minimally invasive Surgery
Some salient features of the operative facility are mentioned below.
Multiple preoperative examination ensures correct measurements of squint and other surgical parameters that lead to accurate surgical plan and superior outcomes.
Every patient is thoroughly evaluated by the pediatrician and/or physician to ensure surgical fitness and reduce the chances of unanticipated complications after surgery.
Twice a week the OT is fumigated, The floor of the OT is Epoxy coated, Walls painted with antifungal antibacterial paint, the water supply in the scrub area is sterilized with UV light and 3 layers of charcoal filtration. Seven completely equipped surgical sets are available at any given time so as to use one set for each patient without any compromise on sterility.
Most surgery is done under a surgical microscope which is relayed live in the patient viewing area.
Sevoflurane is a non toxic, non smelly, non irritating, EXPENSIVE but the safest gas anesthesia available for its unparalleled safety.
A laryngeal mask airway offers spontaneous respiration by the patient throughout surgery so that the patient need not be paralysed. This improves the safety and offers a quick recovery from anesthesia.
This monitoring system allows us to evaluate the functions of the vital organs in the most advanced and effective manner.
Surgeries are also recorded if the patient / parent requests for the DVD of the procedure to be handed over to them after the surgery.
In order to improve transparency and allow participation of the parents / relatives in surgical care, parents / relatives; preferably having a medical background, are allowed to come into the operation theater and witness the surgery. Our research has found this policy to be advantageous for the patients.
All the surgeries are performed under state of the art microscope made in Germany.
We use titanium or high quality medical grade stainless steel instruments for unparalleled surgical performance.
The surgeons and the assistants have tremendous experience in performing a wide variety of surgical procedures. We have trained many surgeons across the country and from abroad. A list of the doctors trained by us can be found elsewhere in this website.
A pediatric ophthalmology service is successful because of its anesthetist. We work with the pediatric anesthesia services, which is a team of pediatric anesthetists. They are certified and trained in pediatric anesthesia and the safest hands to manage your children.
