Yes, street parking is available around Sai Baba Chowk in Sector 7, Rohini. The clinic is opposite Metro Pillar no. 394, close to the Rohini West metro station.

Yes. We run a dedicated paediatric ophthalmology clinic covering refractive errors, squint, childhood cataract, allergies, ROP screening and congenital watering. Children are seen by specialists experienced with young patients.

Dr. R.K. Rana founded the clinic in 1985 — over 40 years ago. Three specialists from the same family now practise here: Dr. R.K. Rana (cataract & refractive), Dr. Kunal Rana (retina) and Dr. Nidhi Mittal Rana (oculoplasty & aesthetics).

The procedure itself takes about 15–20 minutes. It is a day-care surgery — you go home the same day. We use micro-incision (MICS) technique, so the incision is under 2 mm and usually needs no stitches.

There is no single "best" lens — it depends on your vision, lifestyle and budget. Monofocal lenses give clear distance vision; toric lenses also correct astigmatism; multifocal lenses aim for both distance and near. We explain each option honestly before you decide.

No. The surgery is done under topical or local anaesthesia. You may feel mild pressure but no pain. Most patients are comfortable throughout and recover quickly.

Glaucoma is damage to the optic nerve, usually caused by raised pressure inside the eye. It is often silent — vision is lost from the sides first, so you may not notice until late. Early detection saves sight.

Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. With medication, laser or surgery, eye pressure is kept in a safe range and further vision loss is prevented. Lifelong monitoring is essential.

We check eye pressure (tonometry), examine the optic nerve, and test your visual field on the Octopus perimeter. OCT nerve scans give a detailed baseline and track changes over time.

Every diabetic patient should have a dilated retina examination at least once a year, even if vision feels normal. Diabetic retinopathy can damage the retina before you notice any symptoms.

Early changes can be stabilised with injections, laser or timely surgery. Damage already done cannot be reversed, which is why early detection and regular monitoring matter. Good blood sugar and blood pressure control slows progression.

A retinal detachment is when the retina pulls away from the back of the eye. Symptoms include sudden flashes, new floaters or a curtain over part of your vision. It is a medical emergency — call the clinic immediately.

Myopia cannot be cured, but its progression in children can be slowed. Evidence-based options include low-dose atropine drops, specially designed contact lenses and lifestyle changes. We track eye growth over time.

There is no single number, but the general guidance is: take a 20-second break every 20 minutes looking at something 20 feet away, spend at least 90 minutes outdoors daily, and keep screens at arm's length.
