Technology-Led Eye Care Brings Timely Retina Treatment Closer to Home

Centre for Sight, India’s leading network of super-specialty eye hospitals, has announced the launch of its advanced Retina Surgical Services at its Kanpur centre. This development brings globally benchmarked retina care closer to patients in the region, reaffirming the group’s legacy of excellence in eye care.

Founded in 1996, Centre for Sight has stood at the forefront of eye health in India for nearly three decades. With 30 years of trust, a presence in 30+ cities, over 85 eye care centres, and a team of 350+ experienced doctors, it continues to shape the future of vision care with compassion and innovation.

The new retina facility in Kanpur is designed to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of complex retinal conditions. From retinal detachment and age-related macular degeneration to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), the centre is equipped with next-generation surgical technologies including VR-assisted retinal surgery, silicone oil removal (SOR), and scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation. High-end diagnostics such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), B-scan ultrasonography, and fundus imaging enable precise and timely intervention.

As India continues to be called the diabetes capital of the world, the burden of diabetic eye disease has grown exponentially. Diabetic Retinopathy—often symptomless in its early stages—is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness. The retina unit at Centre for Sight Kanpur is equipped to offer comprehensive diabetic eye care, including regular screening, monitoring, and advanced treatments such as PRP laser, barrage laser, and endolaser therapies. With early detection and intervention, permanent vision loss due to diabetes can often be prevented.

Retinal diseases are among the top causes of irreversible vision loss globally, and their silent progression makes early diagnosis vital. By introducing these services in Kanpur, Centre for Sight eliminates the need for patients to travel to metros for retina treatment—bringing advanced, trusted care closer to home.

Dr. Pranav Saluja, Retina Surgeon at Centre for Sight Kanpur said “Vision is more than just sight—it’s our connection to life, to people, to purpose. Retinal diseases often go unnoticed until it’s too late. With this new facility, we’re offering the people of Kanpur access to the kind of retinal care that truly safeguards their vision—before it slips away.” Dr. Saluja was joined by Dr. Vishal Saxena, Senior Consultant – Cataract & Medical Retina, and Dr. Manisha Dwivedi, Consultant – Cataract, Refractive & Cornea Services, who is actively performing corneal transplants and managing a wide range of cornea-related treatments at the centre.

With this launch, Centre for Sight continues its mission to make world-class eye care accessible to all—bringing together medical expertise, compassionate care, and cutting-edge technology under one roof.

Because when it comes to your eyes— Don’t compromise on your vision. Trust the experts.
