Ophthalmology focuses on vision and eye health, offering diagnosis and treatment for cataracts, glaucoma, retinal diseases, and refractive vision problems.

For decades, the solution to poor vision was external: a pair of glasses on your nose or contact lenses on your eyes. Today, the solution is internal. Modern eye surgery procedures have evolved from merely treating disease to actively enhancing human capability. At Liv Hospital, our goal is “Refractive Freedom”—the ability to wake up, open your eyes, and see the world clearly without reaching for a prosthetic device.
Whether you are a 25-year-old athlete seeking freedom from contacts or a 65-year-old grandparent wanting to read bedtime stories without “cheaters,” our Ophthalmology Department offers a comprehensive suite of surgical interventions. We utilize FDA-approved technologies from global leaders like Alcon, Zeiss, and Johnson & Johnson, ensuring that our international patients receive the same (or better) standard of care they would find in the US or UK, often at a significantly more accessible price point.
The “Smart Lens” (Trifocal Intraocular Lens) is the crown jewel of our medical tourism program. It is designed to solve Presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision) and Cataracts in a single, permanent procedure.
The surgery is technically identical to modern cataract surgery but uses a high-tech lens instead of a standard one.
For patients under 40 with healthy eyes, laser surgery remains the gold standard. Liv Hospital offers both major technologies, allowing us to customize the treatment to your specific corneal anatomy.
SMILE is the “future-proof” option for active individuals.
iLASIK is the “precision artist” of eye surgery.
Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery in the world. At Liv Hospital, we have elevated it to a refractive art form.
Gone are the days of needles behind the eye. We use Topical Anesthesia (powerful numbing drops) combined with light sedation.
For patients demanding the highest precision, we offer FLACS. A laser performs the most critical steps of the surgery (the incision and the opening of the lens capsule) before the surgeon even enters the eye. This perfect circular opening ensures the Smart Lens sits exactly in the center of the visual axis.
Retinal diseases often require ongoing management. Our Retina Unit is equipped for both medical and surgical interventions.
For “Wet” Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Macular Edema, abnormal blood vessels leak fluid into the retina.
For Retinal Detachment, Macular Holes, or severe Floaters, we must go inside the eye.
Glaucoma damage is permanent, but progression can be stopped. We offer a “stepped” approach, moving from non-invasive to surgical only when necessary.
A gentle laser treatment that stimulates the eye’s natural drainage meshwork to work harder. It is painless, takes 5 minutes in the office, and can lower eye pressure by 20–30% without daily eye drops.
We implant tiny microscopic tubes (like the iStent inject®) into the drainage angle during cataract surgery. These bypass the blockage and lower pressure safely, often allowing patients to stop using one or more of their glaucoma drops.
The cornea is the window of the eye. When it is misshapen (Keratoconus), glasses no longer work.
Droopy eyelids (Ptosis) or baggy skin (Dermatochalasis) can block your vision and make you look tired.
Traveling for eye surgery is efficient. Here is the typical timeline for a Smart Lens or LASIK patient:

In LASIK, a flap is created, and the laser is applied beneath it, allowing for faster healing; in PRK, the laser is applied to the surface, which takes longer to heal but is safer for thinner corneas.
No, the cataract cannot return because the lens is removed; however, the capsule holding the new lens can become cloudy, which is easily treated with a quick laser procedure.
The idea is frightening, but the eye is numbed with drops or gel first; most patients report feeling pressure or a slight pinch rather than sharp pain.
The lifespan varies, but a full-thickness transplant can last 10 to 20 years or more; rejection can occur at any time but is often treatable with drops.
No, surgery lowers pressure to prevent further damage, but it cannot restore vision already lost, and its effects can wear off over time.
