Jehan Eye Clinic

👁️EYE TRANSPLANT 👁️

The thrill and joy of gifting vision to someone who was unable to see, is unmeasurable.

This lady had a condition which caused weakness of both her corneas leading her to having nearly no vision in BOTH eyes.

😷 She underwent a highly advanced Corneal Transplant procedure called DSAEK in one eye and was absolutely overjoyed at her vision and quick recovery, making her confident after so long.

🙏🏻Grateful to the Almighty for giving me such opportunities. Grateful to the universe for making it all fall in place.

🏥 Don't hesitate to go for treatment just hearing the word TRANSPLANT.
There are many patients who defer their treatment purely out of fear. Discuss your options with your surgeon and discuss all pros and cons and THEN make a planned decision.






thank you for the faith 🙏🏻

⚠️EMOTIONAL POST ALERT ⚠️

Operating on your friend's .9 parents
comes with a mixed bag of emotions! Especially when that friend is your MBBS buddy 😅

The scene of Boman Irani
From is extremely true for a person like me - where he says "Once the drape is on the patient - I have no emotional connection any more - it is just me as the Doctor doing whatever is best for the individual under those surgical drapes - whoever that person may be.
☝🏼Humbled that both the friends AND their parents trust your skill
💪🏻 Courage to know that you'll deal with it perfectly fine
🙏🏻 Grateful that things go well

The truth is...
We are just here to treat/ operate you- it is HE who heals you 🙏🏻

Grateful to the universe for its unique ways in teaching us so many lessons in life.

When your College Maths professor steps in for an eye check up with his wife.
Drum roll 🥁🥁🥁
the legendary Professor Babu.

What an honour !

I was petrified of Maths as a school kid. I sobbed nearly before all my maths exams. But this gentleman here managed to help me conquer my fears and score a whopping 99/100 in my 12th Boards !

"Good teachers truly know how to bring out the best in students".

Happy birthday Jehan !

It was this handsome boy's birthday today.
My clinic is named after my late brother, Jehan.
And my clinic/work social media account hence has his birthday as DOB.

So no it's not my birthday today, it's his (what's showing on FB) but thanks everyone who wished me today 😅

P.S. my birthday is coming sooooooon 😬😬

TATTOO IN THE 👁️

This lovely girl had lost her vision to an infection in her childhood, which left her with a white spot on the eye and being untreated back then, caused a lazy eye.

She came to me with the purpose of cosmesis because she was conscious when people kept asking her what happened.

The procedure done was Corneal Tattooing which eliminates the appearance of the white spot making the abnormal eye look similar to the normal.

Can you tell which one has been tattooed? Left or right? Leave your answers below 👇

Weekend Conference conducted by my alma mater .

"Voice of Refractive Surgery" was an academic feast. Stoked to get to present and learn from stalwarts.

Icing on the cake I got to meet my friends .pmk .vishal

Big thanks to
Madam for coordinating our logistics so seamlessly as always!

Sunday Seminar

Stoked to present on "Treating Inflammation in Dry Eye" this Sunday in the "Questions in Refractive Surgery" meeting conducted by my very own boss .rohitshetty

Many thanks to for being such a lovely host and .pmk for being the backbone each time !

Thankful to for giving me this opportunity.

Why I haven't been posting off late?!

Coordinating logistics for baby...
Yes you read correctly.

The struggle of having a good and reliable nanny is so so real and hit me in the face so much over the past few months.

Coordinating pick ups and drops to school, having somewhere to keep him in vacations, rescheduling appointments if there's noone to keep him, dragging my working parents to chip in.... I've had my hands full !

So I've been bringing my son to the clinic when there wasn't any other option.

The struggle is real to ensure he remains at his best behaviour-
🥘feed him 3 khakras,
📖read to him in between cases and
📝let him "write his own prescription since he was MAIN Doctor for the evening".

I feel like I'm being pulled in all directions and at my wits end now !
Have you faced something similar?!... Oh wait ofcourse all moms do - somehow we are always the ones juggling! - the question should be how often do you face this 😅

KERATOCONUS !

3 classical signs seen on examination
Super happy with this capture !
Any guesses ? Leave your answers in the comments below !

Humbled to get the opportunity to interact with member of committee Mr Sir and Mr Raju Shah Sir at the clinic today.

We need more such positive people in the world !

Grateful for such opportunities that my work gives me.



🙏

When patients come over to wish you Diwali to show their gratitude...it's a really fabulous Diwali!

Grateful to all of you for the trust and appreciation..


🙏 🙏

Happy Dussera from us to you 🙏🏻
Decorated my machines, dolled them up as if they are my own kids ....my companions for life, the backbone of any Ophthalmic practice.

Feeling so grateful today

🙏🏻 To my parents who made the dream of a private clinic possible
🙏🏻 To my patients who made the struggle all worthwhile
🙏🏻 To God Almighty for making everything fall into place !

Good wishes to everyone 🎉

Why we all need greens in our lives !

The most soothing sight to my eyes- is the lush greens.

Everyone keeps talking about eating greens for good health and good eyes - SEEING greens is also soothing to the eye !

Most people wake up and start checking their phone ASAP for messages and emails.
Get off your phones and enjoy the view outside !

Focussing at a distant object will relax the strained eye muscles from the fatigue of focussing on a screen all day.

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right !

Navroz Mubarak !

Pls note- on account of our Navroz festivities, the clinic will remain closed this morning.

🚩Swimming in monsoons ! 🚩

Our patient went for a weekend holiday and used the swimming pool at a local hotel.
He came back with redness, blurred vision and pain.
Examination revealed these tiny white spots on the eye , typically a presentation of a certain microbial infection.

⚠️Not all red eyes are conjunctivitis!
Visit your nearest eye Doctor ASAP.

Any guesses what this is ?

🌞Summer holidays are here ! 🌞

Last evening we had a battalion of kids come for their eye check ups ☺️

It's the perfect time for the mums to bring these champs for their annual eye examination.

⚠️ A complete evaluation for kids always involves putting Cycloplegic drops after which you need to assess the number.

Without that, their check up is incomplete and not very conclusive.

⚠️ Because of crazy amount of screen time during the lockdown, a lot of children realized only when physical school started that they can't see the blackboard clearly.

☑️ While older children may be able to tell you their vision issues, younger kids may not be able to verbalize it too well.

Watch out for symptoms like
☑️ Going up close to the television to see better /Holding objects too close to the face
☑️ Headaches
☑️ Eye rubbing

Have you scheduled your kids' eye check up yet? Leave a 👍🏻 in the comments below if you have.

And....
Don't forget to get yourself tested too !

Call us on +917045658586 to schedule appointments.

⚪White dot in the eye⚪
This gentleman noted that he had progressive blurring of vision in one eye and eventually saw a white dot inside the eye. That's when he came for a check up.

This is now a Mature Cataract (note the 2nd picture ) shows a whitish reflection because of opacification of the lens.

☑️ Yes this can be treated.

💉 Cataract surgery with Intraocular Lens Implant

⚠️ No you don't need to wait till it reaches such a stage.

⌚ Cataract surgery can be done whenever the patient finds their symptoms troublesome/interfering with daily activities.

Know anyone suffering from Cataract/ who's been operated? Drop a 👍🏻 in the comments.

🚩 NOT A STYE 🚩

Not every boil like swelling on the eyelids is a stye!
Get immediate attention to rule out malignancy ! Especially when it looks as gory as this.

This lady has been moving around with such a swelling for months, assuming it's a stye and waiting for it to resolve with warm compress.

This one is for my colleagues..
What are your differential diagnosis?

A night with the stars ✨

A big thank you to my patient for inviting me to the celebration of his production house
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. 🎉🎂

One of the most humble and simple people I have met, was amazed to know the work you have done.

Congratulations on the success of your movies ,🎊🎉

Highlight of my evening- got to see my forever crush 😍

thanks for being my date !

The power of

saw my posts on social media and brought her mother to me for an eye check up for her cornea problem.

I am so grateful for the faith you all have in me 🙏 thank you and all the others who have found me through social media.

It's good to know that we as Doctors need to spread more awareness on such platforms regarding pertinent topics.

Do let me know what I should post on next?
Cataract
Or
LASIK
??

Stumbled upon my Medical College Annual Magazine.

In 2004 I penned a poem dedicated to my late brother "Jehan".
This was 2years after his death and we were still struggling to deal with the loss.

It got featured on a separate special page.
Thanks to my then editor Mary Anne.

As growing kids and teenagers, sibling fights and rivalry is very common. Not until you grow up do you actually realise the value of those bonds or how they sculpt your personality.
At this point in life I regret never having expressed my love for my brother as much as I splash it all over social media today 😂
I miss him so much.

To all you lucky people who have siblings, hug them more often ! And don't forget to tell them you love them ❤️

👫

Navroz Mubarak to everyone...
Thank you to all of my lovely patients who give me the opportunity to allow them to see better.
Praying I always get to fill more lives with colour.
Have a sparkling New Year !

🥵 HEAT WAVE ALERT 🚩

With temperatures soaring in the city, burning and dryness of the eyes seems to be a common complaint of most patients at the clinic.

What can you do ?
✅ Sunglasses - to protect you from the harmful UV rays AND just block the current dusty air from hitting the eyes
✅ Moisturizing eye drops to combat dry eyes
✅ Make sure you are well hydrated yourself
✅ Reach out to an Eye specialist if your eyes are itchy/red/watering

(And not for the eyes, but don't forget your sunscreen!!)


☀️ 👓

WHITE SPOT / FLESHY MASS growing on the corner of the eye .

This is called "PTERYGIUM"
(pronounced TE-RI-JI-UM) often called VEL in the local language.

It's a slowly progressive condition where cells from the conjunctiva (transparent thin skin over the white portion) creep onto the cornea. (central circular structure of the eye- often mistaken as the black portion, but is actually transparent)

Commonly seen in
✅ Hot dry weather
✅ Dusty environment
✅ Very common in farmers due to UV exposure

Sometimes the mass is very small and does not grow.
Occasionally it may grow and creep onto the central part of the cornea, causing increase in spectacle number and eventually blocking the vision. This stage may also be accompanied by frequent episodes of redness and watering of the eye.

💉✂️Treatment is a simple surgery- excision of the mass with an autograft ( clear conjunctiva from another part of the eye is placed onto the excised gap)

Chances of recurrence are minimised by the autograft technique.

Done under local anaesthesia.

Know anyone suffering from such a condition?
DM for more details.

🚩Do I need to have my kid's eyes tested? 🚩

One word answer. Yes !

Incase they were born prematurely or had any other issues then of course a screening can be done when the child is much smaller.

But once your child is able to read and is entering pre school, a complete evaluation is advisable.

I finally made time to get my own son to the clinic for the same.
Oh and it's a task ! We need to put drops to examine them. This is in order to completely relax the influence of internal eye muscles (which otherwise may produce a false number reading on the machine)

The drops take around 45mins to act and the whole task of putting them can be a bit challenging.

But they're kids after all...lure them with some snacks/ a toy/ mine got pataod with a khakra !! And finally I got to do a complete assessment for him.

Why you need to get them checked?
✅ Underlying spectacle power which maybe missed if not assessed

Screentime has been inevitable for everyone this pandemic, and there is any alarming increase in smaller children with undiagnosed myopia.
✅ Underlying squint
✅ Assessment of the whole eye for any other disorders
✅ Children of parents with glasses often tend to have them too.

Have you gotten your kids eyes checked yet??

STOP. BREATHE. REBOOT ⚠️

Every once in while, life does get overwhelming. The never ending patients, the never ending household chores, the never ending list of things your toddler wants to do with you....and so on.

We all need a break to rest, reboot and refuel, in order to get back to the same never ending grind !

I finally got a much needed break with nature after a very long time. Disconnected from people with no network.

Time to restart ☺️

When was the last time you took some time off to yourself? Let me know in the comments.

CORNEAL ULCER 🚩
This is a picture of a corneal ulcer.
Basically a bacterial infection has invaded the cornea (front most layer of the eye) and penetrated inside producing a HYPOPYON - thick yellow pus like material in the front chamber of the eye.
This is exactly why not all red eyes are the same. Often, a minor infection maybe aggregated when the patient takes incorrect over-the-counter medications from chemists without any examination by an .

These type of infections are
1-different from a routine one,
2- take much longer to respond, and 3-often are difficult to treat.
