It is fully equipped with the latest eye diagnostic tools to detect common ocular diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and cataract. The centre can perform comprehensive eye examination including optical coherence tomography, non-mydriatic fundus photography, noncontact tonometry and digital slit-lamp biomicroscopy.
