Cataract Treatment in Kochi
Cataract is a common eye condition where the natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurry or reduced vision. It usually occurs due to aging but may also result from eye injuries, medical conditions like diabetes, or long-term use of steroids. Cataracts can affect one or both eyes and develop gradually, causing difficulty in reading, driving, or seeing clearly at night.
Advanced Cataract Treatments at Giridhar Eye Institute
At Giridhar Eye Institute in Kochi, we offer state-of-the-art cataract surgery techniques for faster recovery, enhanced precision, and excellent visual outcomes.
Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery)
Phaco is the most widely performed cataract surgery. An ultrasonic device is used to break the cloudy lens into tiny fragments, which are then gently suctioned out. A clear intraocular lens (IOL) is placed in its position.
Microincision Cataract Surgery (MICS)
MICS is an advanced version of phacoemulsification using incisions smaller than 2 mm. This minimally invasive technique improves post-surgery comfort and visual results.
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (Femto)
This bladeless, laser-guided technique enhances the precision of critical steps like corneal incision, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation. Femto cataract surgery ensures greater accuracy, especially in complex cases.
Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
After cataract removal, an artificial lens (IOL) is implanted to restore clear vision. Giridhar Eye Institute offers a wide range of premium and customized IOL options based on your visual needs and lifestyle.

Glaucoma Treatment in Kochi – Advanced Eye Care at Giridhar Eye Institute
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve, often due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma may not show symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred—typically starting with peripheral vision.
At Giridhar Eye Institute, Kochi, we specialize in early diagnosis and advanced treatment of glaucoma using state-of-the-art technology and experienced eye specialists.
Types of Glaucoma
Glaucoma Diagnosis at Giridhar Eye Institute
Accurate and early diagnosis is essential to protect your vision. We use a combination of advanced investigations to assess eye pressure, optic nerve health, and visual field function.
Tonometry (IOP Measurement)
Goldmann Applanation Tonometry: Gold standard for precise pressure measurement.
Non-Contact Tonometry (Air Puff Test): Quick, no-contact IOP test.
Tono-Pen: Portable device ideal for children or irregular corneas.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Captures high-resolution images of the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) to detect early nerve damage—even before vision is affected.
Fundus Photography & Optic Nerve Evaluation
Visual documentation of the optic disc helps in monitoring glaucomatous changes like cupping and nerve fiber thinning over time.
Visual Field Test (Perimetry)
Assesses peripheral vision and identifies areas of vision loss or scotomas, essential in glaucoma diagnosis and follow-up.
Gonioscopy
Examines the anterior chamber angle to differentiate between open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma, using a special lens.
Pachymetry
Measures corneal thickness, which influences the accuracy of IOP readings. It helps assess the risk of glaucoma progression.

Glaucoma Services
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. The fact that it is hardly known to the majority of population is truly a sad state of affairs. In India around 12 million are affected of whom 1.1 million are blind. The illness is usually slowly progressing and patients are unaware of anything wrong with their eyes till significant visual loss has occurred. The initiative in glaucoma should be early diagnosis and prompt treatment with proper education of the patient regarding the grave nature of the disease. At GEI, we have specialists in this sub-specialty with all the necessary instruments for diagnosing this disease.
