In this context, more families are looking for the best eye hospital in Hyderabad. That’s where Centre For Sight is strengthening its network, under the revolutionary “all eye care services under one roof” model, so patients don't have to navigate a fragmented system.
Hyderabad’s pace as a tech-and-services hub shows up in eye care too. Telangana’s IT/ITES workforce reached 6.28 lakh in FY 2020–21, and the state reportedly added ~1.27 lakh new IT jobs in FY 2022–23, a screen-heavy mix that can quietly drive digital eye strain, dry eye symptoms, and day-to-day focus fatigue in working adults.

At the same time, refractive errors are being picked up earlier in students. Telangana reported screening 33.65 lakh school children in 2024–25 and distributing 76,176 spectacles, signalling both scale and rising awareness. (The Times Of India)
Cataract demand continues to rise with an ageing population; under blindness-control reporting, the state performed 6+ lakh cataract surgeries in 2024–25. With seniors projected to reach ~17% of Telangana’s population by 2036 (about 68 lakh people, up from ~12% today), the need for organised, preventive-first eye care will only grow.

In this context, more families are looking for the best eye hospital in Hyderabad. That’s where Centre For Sight is strengthening its network, under the revolutionary “all eye care services under one roof” model, so patients don’t have to navigate a fragmented system.
Centre For Sight has framed their entire network on a single, end-to-end model from detailed diagnostics to surgery and structured follow-ups:
With Hyderabad’s ageing population growing, cataract care is increasingly about structured planning and follow-through, not just about availability.
Centre For Sight frames cataract eye surgery as a “plan first, operate second” pathway. It starts with a measurement-led work-up, corneal mapping for accurate cataract measurements and IOL planning, OCT and fundus imaging to rule out retinal risks, and visual fields plus eye-pressure checks to flag glaucoma concerns, so macula and optic nerve status are assessed beforefinalising surgery.
It also positions lens selection as part of precision care, moving beyond monofocal lenses to advanced IOL options such as toric lenses for patients with astigmatism, multifocal or trifocal lenses for those who want support across near, intermediate, and distance vision, and EDOF lenses for a more extended range of distance-to-intermediate vision with some near support, depending on eligibility, eye health, and lifestyle needs.
On the surgical side, the network offers micro-incision cataract surgery (MICS) and phacoemulsification, giving patients multiple technique options based on eye suitability, supported by advanced phaco platforms like Veritas.
After surgery, the network keeps recovery organised through planned monitoring and follow-ups over the next few weeks, to track healing, eye pressure, and visual outcomes, and to address common longer-term issues like posterior capsular opacification (PCO) in a timely way.
In Hyderabad’s screen-heavy workforce, the demand has shifted from “I want to remove my glasses” to “I want the safest option to remove my glasses.”
Centre For Sight Hyderabad’s network offers Contura Vision, SILK, SMILE, and LASIK eye surgery under defined quality standards, keeping the work-up of corneal shape, tear-film stability, surgery, and follow-ups within a single system.
The network frames the solution around customised planning and choice of technique. For patients suited to flap-based correction, it offers topography-guided options like Contoura Vision, which maps 22,000+ corneal elevation points to design a more personalised correction beyond spectacle numbers alone.
For those who prefer a flapless approach, SMILE is a minimally invasive lenticule procedure performed with a femtosecond laser through a 2–4 mm incision.
Centre For Sight Hyderabad also offers SILK eye surgery, a newer femtosecond laser–based, minimally invasive vision-correction option positioned for smoother treatment and faster recovery in suitable eyes. This adds another flapless pathway alongside SMILE.
This approach is backed by national refractive leadership within the group. Prof. Dr. Mahipal S. Sachdev, Padma Shri awardee, performed India’s first iLASIK and went on to pioneer SILK globally and Dr. Rupal Shah, who introduced SMILE to India in 2008, brings experience of 34+ years.
According to Centre For Sight, the idea of a “best eye hospital” today isn’t about a single machine; it’s about how smoothly the entire system works, from the first test to the final safety check.
It begins the moment a patient walks in. The first visit is measurement-led, not guesswork-led: corneal mapping with tools like Pentacam and Sirius help confirm cataract and refractive suitability, while retina and glaucoma screening utilizes Zeiss OCT, fundus imaging, Humphrey visual fields, and tonometry to look for risks that could change (or even rule out) the surgical plan.
Once the plan is clear, the technology carries it out in the operating room in a controlled, step-by-step manner. For refractive correction, dedicated laser systems like ZEISS VisuMax for SMILE, ELITA for SILK and blade-free LASIK steps.
And tying it all together is the environment of NABH-accredited, modular OT design and strict infection-control protocol.
Centre For Sight builds the model of “National-level eye care” around specialists who bring deep domain practice into local clinics.
For ocular oncology and oculoplasty, Dr. Santosh G. Honavar boasts 36+ years of experience and serves as Director Medical Services – Centre for Sight, with expertise in retinoblastoma and tumours of the eyelid, eye, and orbit, along with eyelid and orbital surgeries, eye prosthesis, and reconstruction.
On glaucoma, Dr. Anil Kumar Mandal brings 40+ years of experience, including 35 years at LV Prasad Eye Institute, and is also recognised with the SS Bhatnagar Award, while Dr. Nikhil S. Choudhari adds 20+ years of experience with involvement in major glaucoma studies including CGS and APEDS.
For refractive and cornea care, Dr. Syed Maaz Mohiuddin has 21+ years of experience and is known for an early regional milestone, of being among the first to perform ReLEx SMILE in South India (2011), with Dr. Akhil Bevara complementing this with LVPEI-trained cornea and anterior segment expertise.
For retina and uvea, Dr. Abhilasha Baharani adds 18+ years of experience, with recognition for her uveitis/uvea work, important for cases where “routine blur” can actually be inflammatory or retina-led.
With Hyderabad’s eye-care needs rising across screens, students, and seniors, organised care matters. Centre For Sight strengthens the city’s eye care needs with advanced diagnostics, modern surgery, and follow-ups, under one trusted system.
