Eye Conditions We Treat

From routine vision problems to complex surgical cases

Borivali patients visit Sentra Clinic for everything from glasses prescriptions to complex retinal and corneal surgery. Early detection and treatment prevent irreversible vision loss.

Refractive Errors Myopia (shortsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia — correctable with spectacles, contact lenses, LASIK, or ICL.
Cataracts Age-related clouding of the natural lens. Surgical removal and intraocular lens replacement — same-day discharge, full vision recovery in days.
Diabetic Retinopathy Eye damage from uncontrolled diabetes. Early detection and treatment (laser, anti-VEGF injections) prevent permanent vision loss.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Progressive central vision loss in older adults. Intravitreal injection therapy and monitoring preserve remaining vision.
Retinal Detachment A medical emergency. Vitreoretinal surgery to reattach the retina and prevent permanent blindness.
Keratoconus Progressive corneal thinning and irregular shape. Managed with C3R cross-linking, contact lenses, or corneal transplantation.
Glaucoma Optic nerve damage from elevated eye pressure. Early detection via OCT and perimetry prevents irreversible vision loss.
Squint (Strabismus) Misalignment of the eyes. Surgical correction in children improves depth perception and prevents amblyopia (lazy eye).
Dry Eye Syndrome Chronic tear deficiency or poor tear quality. Advanced treatment options beyond simple lubricant drops.
Presbyopia Age-related loss of focusing power for near vision. Managed with spectacles, bifocals, multifocal lenses, or premium IOLs.
Pterygium Growth of tissue over the cornea. Glue-free surgical removal with low recurrence rates.
Uveitis & Ocular Inflammation Inflammatory eye conditions requiring specialist management to prevent vision-threatening complications.

An Honest Comparison

Sentra Clinic vs. a typical suburban eye clinic

When your vision is at stake, these differences matter. Here's what to check before you choose an eye surgeon near Borivali.

Why This Matters for Your Choice

A visiting doctor clinic is convenient for routine glasses prescriptions but problematic if you develop complex eye disease, need surgery, or want a second opinion. You'll be referred to a city hospital — the same place you could have gone initially. Sentra Clinic saves you that middle step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Eye surgeon near Borivali — your questions, answered

Everything you need to know about choosing an eye surgeon, getting LASIK, having cataract surgery, or managing diabetic eye disease near Borivali.

Is there a good eye surgeon near Borivali?

Yes. Sentra Clinic & Hospital in Malad East is 20–25 minutes from most parts of Borivali via the Western Express Highway. It is a full-spectrum ophthalmology hospital led by Dr. Rohit Modi (FRCS Glasgow, 13+ years experience) and Dr. Shraddha Surekha (LV Prasad Eye Institute trained), offering LASIK, Contoura Vision, ICL, cataract, retina and cornea surgery under one roof — with hospital-grade diagnostic equipment and same-day surgical capability.

What eye conditions can Sentra Clinic treat for Borivali patients?

Sentra Clinic treats a comprehensive range of eye conditions: refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), retinal detachment, keratoconus, glaucoma, dry eye, pterygium, squint/strabismus, and ocular inflammation. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment options are available.

How far is Sentra Clinic from Borivali?

Sentra Clinic is roughly 20–25 minutes from Borivali East via the Western Express Highway, and 25–28 minutes from Borivali West via SV Road. By train, it's just two stops from Borivali Station to Malad Station on the Western Line, followed by a 5-minute auto-rickshaw ride to Shah Arcade 2. Compare this to 45–60 minutes to reach South Mumbai hospitals from Borivali.

Do I need to travel to South Mumbai for LASIK or cataract surgery?

No. Sentra Clinic performs LASIK, Contoura Vision, ICL, and cataract surgery (with all IOL options) on-site in Malad East. The facility has hospital-grade diagnostic equipment (OCT, topography, perimetry), a modern surgical suite, and two fellowship-trained surgeons. Borivali patients rarely need to travel further for specialist surgical care.

How long does LASIK surgery take?

LASIK surgery at Sentra Clinic typically takes 10–15 minutes per eye. Most patients achieve 6/6 vision or better within 24–48 hours. You can usually return to most activities within 3–5 days. Pre-operative screening (topography, wavefront analysis, pachymetry) takes 30–45 minutes, so plan for 1.5–2 hours total for your first appointment.

What is Contoura Vision, and am I a candidate?

Contoura Vision is an advanced form of LASIK that uses topography-guided laser technology to map 22,000+ unique points on your cornea for ultra-precise correction. It often delivers sharper vision than standard LASIK, especially in low-light conditions. Candidacy is determined through corneal topography and wavefront analysis during a consultation. Dr. Shraddha Surekha specialises in Contoura Vision and ICL procedures.

Is ICL lens implantation better than LASIK?

Not necessarily "better" — just different. ICL is ideal for patients with thin corneas, very high prescriptions, or those who prefer not to have corneal tissue removed. LASIK works well for most moderate prescriptions. Both procedures are safe when performed by experienced surgeons. Dr. Surekha will recommend the best option for your specific corneal anatomy and lifestyle after a thorough pre-operative evaluation.

How often should Borivali diabetics get their eyes checked?

Diabetic patients should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once per year, even if their vision feels perfect. Early diabetic retinopathy is often asymptomatic but highly treatable. If your HbA1c is elevated, you've had diabetes for 5+ years, or you already have signs of retinopathy, more frequent exams (every 6 months or quarterly) are recommended. Dr. Rohit Modi specialises in diabetic eye disease.

What makes Sentra different from other eye clinics near Borivali?

Sentra Clinic is a full-spectrum surgical eye hospital — not a referral centre. Two fellowship-trained surgeons (FRCS, ICO Fellow, LV Prasad trained) are permanently on-site. Hospital-grade diagnostics (OCT, topography, perimetry, pachymetry) enable precise diagnosis. In-house surgical capability for LASIK, cataract, retina and cornea procedures means no external referrals. 4.9-star rating from 222+ verified patients reflects commitment to surgeon-led care and transparent communication.

Can I get my insurance processed at Sentra Clinic?

Yes. Sentra Clinic accepts cashless treatment with major health insurance providers and TPAs for eligible procedures such as cataract surgery. Our front desk team verifies your policy and coverage before the procedure date. LASIK is typically considered an elective procedure and is usually not covered by standard insurance, but EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) options are often available. We provide transparent cost estimates before you commit.

How do I book an appointment from Borivali?

Call us at 9372947075 (WhatsApp available at the same number), email sentramalad@gmail.com, or visit us — walk-ins are welcome. Same-week appointments are usually available. Booking by phone or WhatsApp guarantees your preferred time slot and minimises waiting. For pre-operative evaluations like LASIK screening or cataract assessment (which require dedicated diagnostic time), we recommend booking at least 2–3 days in advance.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Bring your current spectacles, contact lenses (if you wear them), and any prior eye prescriptions or reports. If you're wearing contact lenses, remove soft contacts 3 days before, or hard contacts 3 weeks before, so your cornea stabilises for accurate measurements. Bring a form of ID for registration. If dilation will be done, arrange transport or have a companion, as your near vision will be blurred for 3–4 hours.

Does Sentra Clinic offer paediatric eye care?

Yes. We provide comprehensive paediatric ophthalmology services including infant and child vision screening, amblyopia (lazy eye) treatment, squint (strabismus) correction, and school vision screening. Early detection and treatment of eye conditions in children prevent lifelong vision problems and set the foundation for healthy sight into adulthood.
