You should seek immediate medical evaluation by a corneal specialist if you experience symptoms such as severe eye pain, sudden redness, extreme sensitivity to light (photophobia), excessive tearing, a feeling of something in your eye, or a noticeable white spot or cloudiness on the clear part of the eye. Prompt treatment is critical to prevent permanent corneal scarring and vision loss.

The hospital is equipped to perform advanced medical and surgical interventions, including precise corneal scraping and microbial cultures for stubborn infections, collagen cross-linking (C3R) to halt the progression of keratoconus, pterygium excision with conjunctival autografting, and various types of corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) procedures when the cornea is severely damaged or scarred.

Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, causing distorted vision. Early stages are managed with specialized contact lenses (like rigid gas permeable or scleral lenses), while progressive cases can be treated using Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R) to strengthen corneal tissue and halt further bulging.

You can book an appointment at Siliguri Greater Lions Eye Hospital by calling the official helpline at +91 97333 00090 or by visiting the main hospital facility located behind Vishal Cinema on Sevoke Road, Siliguri.
