Guwahati is rapidly gaining prominence as a medical hub for patients in the Northeast region. Amidst the array of hospitals and treatment centres in the city, The Retina Centre, situated in Rukminigaon, Guwahati has emerged as the place to visit for all your eye-related issues. Specialising in the intricate world of eye care and founded by Dr S U Ahmed, this centre is dedicated to preserving and restoring the gift of sight by addressing eye diseases, the treatment courses offered, and the imperative importance of caring for our eyes. The human eye, a remarkable feat of biological engineering, is susceptible to a range of diseases that can impair its function. From common refractive errors like myopia to more serious conditions affecting the retina, such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration, the spectrum of eye ailments is vast. The Retina Centre in Guwahati stands as a stronghold against vision impairment, acknowledging the diversity of these conditions and offering comprehensive care.
Thanks to advancements in medical science and technology, the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions have become more accessible. The cost of these treatments has notably decreased due to economies of scale, yet millions of Indians still lack access to such essential care due to financial constraints. To bridge this gap, both central and state governments across India are collaborating with renowned private hospitals through health insurance schemes in various states. Through these initiatives, the aim is to make high-quality eye care more affordable and available to a wider population. By leveraging the combined resources of public and private sectors, these health insurance schemes seek to ensure that individuals from all walks of life can receive the necessary treatment for their eye conditions. This collaborative approach holds the potential to significantly reduce the burden of eye diseases in India and improve the overall quality of eye care across the country. “Health insurance schemes plan to provide help with advanced medical tests and treatments to those in need. As a prominent eye hospital in Northeast India, we are pleased with the aim to reach out to people with any eye conditions. We express our gratitude to the Meghalaya Government for this opportunity.”- Dr. S.U.Ahmed, Senior Consultant & Founder, The Retina Centre.
