Khalid Eye & Medical Care — Best Eye Clinic in Lahore

Why Choose Khalid Eye & Medical Care?

Good eye care starts with a careful assessment of your eyes. Any further tests are chosen according to your symptoms and what the examination shows, because a test is only useful when it answers a question about your particular eyes.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

If you are not sure which area your problem falls under, you do not need to work it out first. When you message the clinic, describe what you are noticing, such as blurred vision, watering, an eye that turns, or a change in sight, and ask whether an examination is appropriate. Different eye problems can cause similar symptoms, so the cause can only be found by examining the eyes.

Facilities Available at Khalid Eye & Medical Care

Most eye concerns begin with an examination, and what happens next depends on what it shows. The descriptions below are general, and which parts apply to you depends on your concern.

Eye Examination

An eye examination checks how well you see and the health of your eyes. In general, a comprehensive examination may include checking how sharp your vision is, testing your side vision, and checking how your eyes move. The examiner may also check how your pupils respond to light, measure the pressure inside your eyes, and use drops to widen your pupils so the inside of the eye can be seen.

A sight test also looks at the outside and inside of the eyes for conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts, and at how the eyes focus and work together. It can pick up early signs of a problem before you notice any symptoms.

The exact assessment depends on your concern, and further tests may be added according to your needs. An examination can also show whether you need glasses or further investigation.

If drops are used to widen your pupils, your vision can stay blurry and your eyes sensitive to light for a few hours. Sunglasses and someone to help you get home can be useful, so ask the clinic whether drops might be needed for your concern.

Eye Diagnostics

Eye diagnostics means the tests used to find the cause of an eye problem. A test is chosen to answer a specific question about your eyes, so a test that one person needs may not be needed by another.

In general, the questions differ by condition. Glaucoma is diagnosed through a comprehensive dilated eye examination that includes a visual field test, which checks your side vision. Diabetic retinopathy is typically found by photographing the back of the eye.

Ask what a recommended test is for, how it is done, how it will feel, and how you will get the results.

Eye Surgery (strabismus/squint)

The clinic provides squint (strabismus) surgery. In general, surgery on the muscles that move the eye may be considered when glasses are not fully effective, and it is advised only after assessment.

Surgery is only one of several approaches to a squint. Others described in general medical guidance include glasses, eye exercises, injections and, where a lazy eye has developed, patching. Which approach suits a child or an adult depends on the findings of the assessment.

Patient Reviews and Testimonials

Eye care is personal, and every patient’s concern, assessment and care are different. One person’s experience cannot show what will happen for you, so ask the clinic about your own concern. When you read reviews of any clinic, remember that they describe individual experiences and not guaranteed results.

When to Seek Eye Care

This is general information, not a diagnosis. Some eye problems need urgent care, while others are best checked by a routine examination. If you are unsure, or your symptoms are getting worse, seek advice rather than waiting.

Seek Urgent Care Right Away

Go to the nearest emergency department or seek immediate eye care if you have:

• a strong chemical splashed in the eye
• a sharp object that has pierced the eye, or a hit to the eye at high speed
• any change in your sight after an eye injury
• severe eye pain, or a sudden change in vision
• a sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow or dark curtain across part of your vision

A few floaters are normal. But a sudden increase in floaters, flashes and a shadow or curtain across your vision can be signs of a detached retina. Waiting raises the risk of permanent loss of sight, so these symptoms need immediate care from an eye doctor or an emergency department. A small detachment can cause no symptoms at all, which is why eyes should be checked after any eye injury.

While you get help:

• If a chemical has splashed into your eye, flush it with clean water, holding the eye open, for at least 20 minutes while urgent help is being arranged. Take the container of the chemical with you if you can.
• Do not try to remove an object that has pierced the eye.
• Do not rub or touch the eye.
• Do not drive yourself if your sight has changed or the injury is serious. Ask someone to take you or arrange emergency transport.

The clinic’s eye emergency management applies during clinic hours only. For an urgent problem, do not wait for a WhatsApp reply.

Get an Eye Examination If

An eye examination is worth arranging, even when nothing is urgent, if:

• you have diabetes, because diabetic retinopathy usually causes no symptoms at first and is usually found through regular eye checks
• you or your child has a squint, meaning the eyes do not point in the same direction
• a squint appears for the first time in an adult, or you develop double vision
• watering keeps going or interferes with everyday activities
• an eyelid turns inward or droops, or a lump or swelling near the eye has not improved
• your sight has become blurry, or you have trouble seeing at night, reading, or coping with glare, which can be symptoms of a cataract

Some eye conditions cause no symptoms early on. Glaucoma usually has no symptoms at first, and treatment cannot undo damage that has already happened, so finding it early matters. The only way to find out whether you have it is a comprehensive dilated eye examination. Ask your doctor how often you should be checked.
