Quick Answer: How Do You Choose an Eye Doctor in Patna?

See an ophthalmologist (MS, DNB or DOMS in Ophthalmology) for eye diseases and surgery; an optometrist can test vision and prescribe glasses. Choose an eye hospital with modern cataract surgery (phaco), retina and glaucoma services. In Patna, eye care is available at the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology at IGIMS, AIIMS Patna, PMCH and private eye hospitals. Diabetes is a leading cause of preventable blindness — Satyadev Multi Super Speciality Hospital helps patients control diabetes and blood pressure, which protects the eyes, and advises yearly eye check-ups.
