Top Uveitis Treatment Hospital in Delhi NCR

What is Uveitis?

The uvea is made of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid, and is the middle part of the eye which lies below the white part called the sclera. It helps your eye focus on different distances and adjust to different levels of light. Sometimes the uvea can swell or experience inflammation which leads to vision loss. This is known as Uveitis.

When do I see my eye doctor?

If you experience:

Blurry vision
Redness
Soreness
Light sensitivity
Floaters
Decrease in vision

You might have Uveitis. It is wise to schedule a consultation with a Uveitis specialist for specialized care and treatment.

Can I tell if I have Dry Eye?

Dry Eye symptoms include:

Gritty or burning sensation
Redness
Watery eyes
Mucus in the eye
Itching
Light sensitivity

If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation for a dry eye and ocular surface treatment at AKIO.

Different kinds of Uveitis

There are 3 types of uveitis based on where the uvea is affected:

Anterior Uveitis: This affects the uvea at the front. It’s the most common type and usually occurs suddenly with symptoms that last several weeks.
Intermediate uveitis: This affects the uvea in the middle. Its symptoms can last for a few weeks to several years.
Posterior uveitis: This affects the uvea at the back. Its symptoms often occur gradually and last for many years.

In severe cases, all layers might be affected.

How is Uveitis caused?

Uveitis usually occurs when a part of your eye gets inflamed. It can also occur if you have any of the following:

Shingles virus
Herpes simplex virus
Syphilis
Lyme disease
Toxoplasmosis
Inflammatory bowel disease
Rehrumatoid arthritis
Eye injury
Habit of smoking

How is Uveitis diagnosed?

There are several eye exams to check for Uveitis, including:

Vision test with glasses and how your pupils react around light
Tonometry to measure intraocular eye pressure
Slit lamp exam using microscope to identify inflammatory cells in the eye.
Ophthalmoscopy by shining bright light in the eye to see the area at the back.

Am I at risk?

You might be at a higher risk if you: Are between the age 20 and 60 years Smoke cigarettes

Can I get my Uveitis permanently cured?

Uveitis can be cured in some cases, but can occur again. Other times, uveitis turns out to be a long-term condition. But the right treatment can help improve the vision.

At AKIO, our uvea and ocular inflammation treatment is designed to provide long-term relief and improve the patient's quality of life.

What are my treatment options?

At AKIO, the Uvea and Ocular inflammation treatment includes:

Medications: Medicines such as corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and immunosuppressants to control inflammation and manage symptoms are used.
Surgery: We may need to perform surgery in more serious cases to repair any damage caused by inflammation.
Laser therapy: We use laser therapy to treat conditions like uveitis, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion.

How will my doctor check for Uveitis?

At AKIO, a dilated examination for comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s eye is done through:

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): OCT is a non-invasive method that uses light waves to create a high-resolution image of your eye’s different layers, especially the retina. This helps us give a detailed evaluation of the inflammation.
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA): OCTA is also a non-invasive imaging technique where the same tissue is scanned repeatedly to determine the difference in blood flow within the retina and the layers of tissue at the back of the eye.
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): FFA is an invasive method in which a special dye is injected into a vein which takes pictures while it travels through the blood vessels in your eyes. This helps in seeing any abnormalities in the uvea, and gives a clarity on the severity of the inflammation.
Both these procedures help in determining the extent of the inflammation and form a personalized treatment plan for each patient.

From experienced doctors to courteous staff.. everyone is so professional and caring. I went for routine checkup only and was really impressed how they took care of every query. My eyes were throughly checked by 4 different doctors and everyone was so humble to answer my queries to utmost satisfaction. Not to mention they took really good care of my mom and saved her eye to which other hospital refused treatment. I would strongly recommend to visit them. My mom’s case was worst and I am glad I contacted them. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I recently had the opportunity to receive treatment at what I consider the best eye specialist hospital in Delhi. The doctors were not only highly skilled but also empathetic and attentive to all my concerns. Immensely grateful for the exceptional care I received.

This one is gonna be slightly detailed. To start off, I can simply say that this institution is by far is one of the most well managed place in the country. The entire staff, nurses and doctors are impeccable and polite.We visited the hospital for my mother’s eye surgery for (retina detachment) and everything went smoothly and can simply say it was the best decision we took. The matters of eye are intricate and I personally don’t think any other place would’ve handled the case with such ease. From scheduling the surgery, to operation to post op care, all was great. This is not just my opinion but almost every other patient we came across and spoke to. Dr Atul a big thanks to you and your team for helping thousands of people see things again.

We met doctor Bharat , he is very sweet and genuinely expalained everything about my dad's conditions. MY DAD IS PRETTY MUCH SATISFIED . Also staff memebers are very welcoming and sweet.Overall, the ambiance is good. However, the only thing I feel is lacking is the reception area lighting, which is very bright. It was irritating for my dad and some other patients as well. As an eye center, the interior should be dimmer. Just a genuine suggestion.

front office staff and floor supervisors are very helpful. Even though there is a lot of rush and then waiting, but you will get the best treatment here. They understand your issues very well and great treatment is provided. AKIO is highly affordable as we see them not turning back any patient just because of financial issues. Great work by all. Thank you once again. Keep up this great work.

It’s an eye hospital in Safdarjung enclave. Has two floors. They also have a skin center. They do quite intensive tests for eyes using modern technologies. The staff is nice, speak politely, is helpful and services well. Dr Atul Kumar is ex HoD AIIMS and is quite good. He is a retina specialist. Consultation is Rs 1000. OCT is 3500 rs. Series of tests are performed. Then consultation is done. They have washrooms on all floors, which are neat and clean. Water dispensers are also placed. There are changing rooms for both males and females. There is a small lounge with tea, coffee and snacks on payment. There is a small pharmacy desk. A small shoppe for frames and lens too. The treatment charges are seemingly on the higher side. Like for a cataract and lens they charge 65000 rs for one eye with Ayance lens.Couple of things I ddnt appreciate- admonishing the previous doctors & condemning them. Quoting different prices by staff for the same treatment or tests. Creating anxiety & urgency for treatment. Patient needs to absorb and think and decide.
