Renowned globally for his path-breaking research and constantly setting new standards and breakthroughs worldwide in eye care, Dr. Cyres Mehta brings to India yet another leading global nano technology that offers the effective, non-invasive and painless laser treatment for Glaucoma.
Introducing this concept in Mumbai and India for the very first time, the recipient of countless national and international awards and recognition, Dr. Cyres Mehta takes the time to explain how Glaucoma has been increasingly affecting people as also an understanding of how the brand new Nano Technology that he has pioneered in the nation, will help correct this ailment.
Glaucoma is an eye-condition caused by increased pressure within the eyeball, leading to loss of sight.Glaucoma has become a public health problem in India.The Government of India and Maharashtra have brought out a public awareness program even in regional languages to increase the awareness of thiseye disease and have urged the public to get themselves checked for it at least once a year.
Says Dr. Cyres Mehta, “Glaucoma affects 5 to7 percent of the population. As one’s age increases beyond 40, it is important that you get an ‘Eye Pressure Check-up’ done once a year – just like how it’s important to check one’s blood sugar and blood pressure as a routine, annual check-up. Until now, the only option besides using of eye-drops, was surgery in the operating room. And surgery can have its own side effects, like poor vision and bleeding. Eye-drops too have side effects – like drowsiness, irritation, breathing difficulty and redness and pricking sensation in the eyes. For years, the laser treatment of Glaucoma, called ‘ALT’ has existed, but it was not effective. But now, for the first time in India, we have the ‘NANO SLT’ laser! This system is totally Non-Invasive and lowers the pressure by 5 to 8 points in just one 2-minute sitting! Since it is non-invasive, the patient can even go for a swim immediately after the treatment or even catch a movie!”
The Premier Glaucoma Center of Europe,the Glaucoma Center in Lausanne,Switzerland, does over a 100 SLT treatments a month, showing how effective it is in reducing Glaucoma in patients. Regular SLT has a pulse duration longer than that of the new Nano laser, which is a much shorter pulse duration, and hence it is more effective.
Dr. Cyres Mehta adds, “SLT NANO is an important tool to easily and painlessly control Glaucoma without surgery. If a patient is using 2-3 eye-drops daily, it could be reduced to just one eye-drop a day, and in some cases, no eye drops anymore! In patients with heart-problems, or other major health issues, who are unable to go for Glaucoma surgery, the SLT NANO is a very useful tool to control pressure safely.”
Here are a few important points to note about SLT Nano Technology for Glaucoma:
- It is Painless
- It is Non-Invasive, so does not require an operating room
- Takes Only 3 minutes to complete the procedure
- Lowers Pressure anywhere from 4 to 8 mmHg – in fact it can be done just before Cataract surgery to lower eye pressure.
- Safe for Heart Patients and Diabetics
- Affordable
Recently Dr. Cyres Mehta had relocated to a huge, posh 2000 sq ft premise on the same floor as his existing clinic, behind the Taj Mahal Hotel, on Mandlik Road(Colaba), so as to accommodate the state-of-the-art equipment which provides the best eye care in the nation to his patients. These include:
- The ‘OPTOVUE ANGIOVUE HD-OCULAR, DYE-FREE SCANNER’:The Very First Of Its Kind In Mumbai, This Is A No-Injection, Non-Invasive Ocular CT System and is also capable of detecting Glaucoma upto three to four years before conventional field testing! It can actually detect microscopic membranes in the retina for the treatment of Age Related Macular Degeneration before any other method.
- The IOL MASTER 700 ZIESS-LASER LENS POWER MEASURING SYSTEM – Yet another first in Mumbai
In addition Dr Cyres is a pioneer of the following advanced Techniques-
- The ROBOTIC LASER SYSTEM – CATALYS for cataracts, which melts away the cataract in less than 30 seconds – Dr.Cyres was again the first to us this in Mumbai 3 years ago
- The ZIESS VISUMAX SMILE SYSTEMfor SMILE Laser Vision Correction, which does treatment inside the cornea in 30 seconds or less without a cut unlike LASIK. This is the most advanced system in the world.
