A team of ophthalmologists from Chandigarh has evolved a way to concurrently treat cataract and glaucoma without any complications Published on 7/16/2008 6:51:29 PM *Chandigarh:* A team of ophthalmologists from Chandigarh has evolved a way to concurrently treat two eye diseases-cataract and glaucoma-without post operative complications. The new technique is a quick healing and more effective alternative and GEI is the first hospital to conduct a pilot study on the use of Ologen implant in Phaco-Trab, reports IANS quoting GEI Chief Executive Officer SPS Grewal. The doctors from the Grewal Eye Institute (GEI) here conducted a pilot study of 'Ologen Implant in Phacoemulsification Combined with Trabeculectomy (Phaco-Trab)' and presented its results before over 10,000 delegates at the World Ophthalmology Congress (WHO) in Hong Kong in June. "Now onwards we will use Ologen implant in Phaco-Trab for surgically treating both cataract and glaucoma simultaneously," Grewal said. Till now we were using a conventional method to treat the diseases jointly in a single surgery by using Mitomycin-C in Phaco-Trab that many times leads to post operative complications, he added. There is no particular symptom for cataract and glaucoma and they can be detected only through regular check-ups. -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Mobile : +91-11-9811125521 Join Access India convention: For updates on it visit: http://accessindia.org.in/harish/convention.htm Registration is now open!
