Correction of problems in vision must be diagnosed and treated at the earliest possible. Childhood is a period of rapid growth and development, meaning any issues can be rectified quickly. At Abate Eye Hospital, we have a select staff of knowledgeable and well-trained doctors, orthoptists, and optometrists who can diagnose underlying disorders of the eye and prescribe the ideal treatment to correct them.
Some of the defects can be rectified through the administration of medicines, but some require corrective surgery. These surgeries require sophisticated instruments and surgeons with both knowledge and expertise. As the best Eye Hospital in Kerala, at Abate, we have the most innovative tools that aid our expert doctors to perform surgeries with accuracy and precision.
