Eye Specialist for Thane Patients — Sentra Clinic, Malad East, Mumbai
Thane has grown into a major city in its own right, yet for specialised surgical eye care — LASIK, premium IOL cataract surgery, retinal procedures and glaucoma management by fellowship-trained surgeons — many Thane residents choose to make the 45–55 minute journey to Sentra Clinic in Malad East. The reason is straightforward: Sentra combines international surgical credentials (Dr. Rohit Modi, FRCS Glasgow, ICO Fellow) with the full diagnostic and surgical infrastructure of a dedicated eye hospital.
Thane has good general hospitals, but the depth of ophthalmic subspecialty expertise at Sentra — corneal topography for LASIK, A-scan biometry for precision IOL selection, OCT-A for retinal imaging — is a different category of care. Patients from Thane West, Ghodbunder Road, Manpada and Kolshet regularly make this journey.
📞 Serving Thane patients — 45 min via Eastern Express / JVLR route.

What Thane Patients Say
"I had been wearing –7.5 glasses for 15 years and assumed LASIK wasn't for me. Dr. Modi's corneal topography showed I was a strong Contoura candidate. The surgery was done in under 12 minutes. I drove myself from Thane to my follow-up the next week — in a car, without glasses, for the first time in my adult life. The journey from Thane was 45 minutes. Worth ten times that."
— Sanjay Patil, Thane West · Contoura Vision Surgery"My mother's diabetic retinopathy was at an advanced stage and she needed anti-VEGF injections monthly. We started at Sentra and Dr. Modi has managed her case personally. His explanations are clear, his follow-up WhatsApps are reassuring, and her vision has stabilised. Coming from Thane each month is our peace of mind."
