State-of-the-Art Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of successful eye treatment. Our State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Suite uses advanced imaging and measurement technologies to evaluate every layer of the eye with exceptional precision. These tools help detect diseases early, map structural changes, and guide highly personalized treatment plans.
Using technologies such as Corneal Topography, Specular Microscopy, OCT, Biometry, and a dedicated Specialty Contact Lens Clinic, we assess corneal shape, cell health, retinal layers, tear stability, and refractive parameters in detail. This ensures that even subtle abnormalities are identified before they begin affecting vision.
How Advanced Diagnostics Help Identify Eye Conditions
Modern eye diseases often develop silently, with subtle changes that cannot be detected through routine examination alone. With advanced imaging, mapping, and precision measurement systems, we gain detailed insights into the health of every eye layer.
- Unexplained Blurred or Distorted Vision: Vision that fluctuates throughout the day or becomes unclear despite wearing glasses may indicate corneal irregularities or early keratoconus.
- Frequent Headaches or Eye Strain: Difficulty focusing, especially after screen work, can point to refractive changes that require detailed biometry or topography.
- Recurrent Redness or Irritation: Persistent surface inflammation may require corneal imaging or tear-film assessment to detect hidden abnormalities.
- Difficulty Adapting to Light: Increased sensitivity or delayed adjustment can signal early retinal or optic-nerve changes visible on OCT scans.
- Poor Quality Night Vision: Halos, glare, or poor contrast sensitivity may reflect subtle corneal defects or early cataract changes detectable through specialized imaging.

Different Types of Advanced Eye Diagnostics
Corneal Topography
This test creates a detailed 3D map of the corneal surface, helping detect shape irregularities such as keratoconus, corneal thinning, ectasia, or post-surgical distortions. It is essential for planning refractive surgeries, monitoring disease progression, and designing customized contact lenses.
Specular Microscopy
A high-resolution imaging test that evaluates the endothelial cell layer on the inner surface of the cornea. It measures cell count, size, and shape to determine corneal health. This diagnostic tool is crucial before cataract surgery, corneal transplant evaluation, and in conditions involving corneal edema or dystrophies.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
A non-invasive scan that provides cross-sectional images of the retina, macula, optic nerve, and anterior segment. OCT helps diagnose conditions such as glaucoma, macular diseases, retinal swelling, and early optic nerve damage—often before symptoms appear. It is also used to monitor treatment response over time.
Biometry
Precise measurement of eye length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth. Biometry is essential for accurate lens power calculation before cataract surgery or refractive lens procedures, ensuring optimal visual outcomes and minimizing postoperative refractive errors.
Specialty Contact Lens Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostic techniques used for fitting medically necessary lenses such as scleral lenses, RGP lenses, and hybrid lenses. These assessments help manage conditions like keratoconus, corneal scars, post-transplant surfaces, or severe dry eye, where regular lenses fail to provide stability or comfort.
Why Advanced Diagnostics Are Needed
Diagnosis & Technology at Shivyaa Hospital
Our Diagnostic Process
Accurate eye care begins with precise evaluation. At Shivyaa Superspeciality Hospital, every patient undergoes a structured, comfort-focused diagnostic pathway using our most advanced imaging systems.
- Comprehensive History & Symptom Assessment: We review symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and vision changes to understand potential eye conditions requiring advanced diagnostic evaluation.
- Complete Clinical Examination: Our specialists examine the cornea, retina, optic nerve, and ocular surface using magnification to detect subtle abnormalities missed in routine tests.
- Advanced Imaging & Measurement: Targeted tests like Topography, OCT, Specular Microscopy, and Biometry provide precise measurements essential for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.
Our Targeted Treatment Philosophy
Each test provides unique insights, and together they create a complete understanding of your eye health—allowing for precise treatment planning and long-term monitoring.
- Corneal Topography: Generates detailed corneal maps to detect shape irregularities, early keratoconus, and post-surgical changes for accurate vision correction decisions.
- Specular Microscopy: Evaluates endothelial cell count and structure, helping diagnose corneal diseases and ensuring safe planning for cataract or transplant surgeries.
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides high-resolution retinal and optic nerve scans, detecting glaucoma, macular conditions, and early degenerative changes before symptoms appear.
- Biometry: Offers precise eye measurements for intraocular lens calculations, ensuring best visual outcomes for cataract and refractive surgeries.
- Specialty Contact Lens Evaluation: Assesses corneal irregularities to design customized lenses for keratoconus, post-transplant surfaces, or advanced dry eye cases.
- Surgical Planning Tools: Advanced measurements guide cataract, refractive, corneal, and glaucoma surgeries, improving precision, safety, and long-term visual outcomes.
When to Seek Medical Attention for Eye Problems
Immediately consult ophthalmology specialists in case of the following warning signs because it could be indicative of a severe eye condition that has to be addressed immediately:
01
Severe Pain
Persistent or severe eye pain, not relieved by rest or over-the-counter eye drops.
02
Vision Loss
Partial or complete sudden vision loss may indicate retinal, optic nerve, or vascular emergencies.
03
Redness & Swelling
Bright redness, swelling, or pus-like discharge may signal serious infection or inflammatory eye condition.
04
Eye Trauma
New flashes, floaters, or blind spots in vision may indicate retinal detachment or serious damage.
05
Flashes & Floaters
Sudden double vision, numbness, or weakness may suggest neurological, muscular, or vascular eye-related issues.
