Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences
The Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at The Aga Khan University Hospital provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for disorders of the eye and visual system in both adults and children.
Services span routine eye evaluation, management of acute and chronic eye diseases, and specialised surgical interventions. The Department manages a broad range of conditions, including cataract, glaucoma, retinal diseases, corneal disorders, squint and paediatric eye conditions, orbital and eyelid disorders, refractive errors, and vision-threatening emergencies.
Surgical expertise includes cataract extraction, corneal transplantation, vitreoretinal surgery, glaucoma procedures, ocular surface and reconstructive surgery, refractive surgery, and selected oculoplastic interventions.
Services are primarily offered through outpatient and day care surgical pathways, supported by inpatient facilities for patients requiring extended observation or specialised postoperative support.
Care is delivered by ophthalmologists working alongside specialised nursing and technical teams, with access to advanced diagnostic services to support accurate assessment and structured treatment planning.
As part of a quaternary-care academic medical centre, the Department contributes to ophthalmic education, research, and quality improvement initiatives while maintaining high standards of safety and clinical governance.
