1. Cataract Surgery
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside the eye. It is the most common cause of treatable vision loss in adults over 50, and affects a significant proportion of older patients across HP.
At Eye One Centre, cataract surgery is performed using Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS / Phaco) - the gold standard technique. The procedure takes a few minutes per eye, requires no stitches and no hospital admission. Patients arrive in the morning and go home the same day.
Premium intraocular lens (IOL) options are available including monofocal, multifocal, toric (for astigmatism) and presbyopia-correcting lenses. Complex cataracts - dense, white or complicated by other conditions - are managed regularly.

2. Glaucoma
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, usually due to raised intraocular pressure. It is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness globally and has no early symptoms - making regular screening essential for patients over 40 and those with a family history.
Eye One Centre offers comprehensive glaucoma care: pressure monitoring, optic nerve OCT imaging, visual field testing, SLT laser, LPI laser, trabeculectomy, MIGS, and combined cataract-glaucoma surgery.

3. Medical Retina
Medical retina covers conditions affecting the retina that are managed without surgery: diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), macular oedema, retinal vein occlusions and inherited retinal conditions.
Treatment includes intravitreal injections (anti-VEGF therapy), laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy and long-term monitoring. Annual retina screening for all diabetic patients is a core part of our medical retina service.

Dr. Gitanjli Sood Sirkek has performed over 5,000 retinal surgeries. These are cases that previously required travel to Delhi or Chandigarh. They are performed at Eye One Centre, Kangra.

7. Oculoplasty

8. Squint (Strabismus)
Squint - also called strabismus - is a misalignment of the eyes in which both eyes do not point in the same direction. It affects children and adults. Early treatment in children is critical to prevent amblyopia (lazy eye). Treatment includes glasses, patching, exercises and surgical correction.

9. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
ROP is a sight-threatening condition affecting premature babies in whom the retinal blood vessels have not fully developed. It requires specialist screening within the first weeks of life and, where indicated, laser treatment.
Eye One Centre provides specialist ROP screening and laser treatment for premature infants in Kangra and across HP - a service with very limited availability in the region.

10. Uveitis
Uveitis is inflammation inside the eye that can affect the iris, ciliary body and choroid (the uveal tract). It can cause pain, redness, blurred vision and, if untreated, serious complications including cataract, glaucoma and retinal damage. Management involves topical and systemic anti-inflammatory treatment, and often a systemic workup to find the underlying cause.

11. Eye Trauma
Eye injuries require urgent specialist assessment - even when they appear minor from outside. Conditions treated include chemical injuries, blunt trauma, penetrating injuries, intraocular foreign body and post-traumatic complications.

12. Refractive Surgery (ICL & PRK)
Refractive surgery corrects myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness) and astigmatism to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Eye One Centre offers ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) - for patients with moderate to high refractive error, or those not suitable for surface ablation - and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) for suitable candidates. Thorough pre-operative screening ensures the right procedure is selected for each patient.
