“To create a state of the art eye care center that provide cutting edge eye care for children and adults with squint or other eye movement disorders.”
The clinic was established in the year 2005 with the aim of providing best eye treatment for children. State of the art infrastructure for pediatric eye care was laid down and a pediatric ophthalmologist (children’s eye specialist), a pediatric optometrist (child’s optometrist), apediatric anesthetist and a pediatrician (child specialist) came together to provide skillful treatment for kid’s eye problems.
Jyotirmay became the first dedicated hospital for children’s eye treatment in western India and Dr Mihir was thefirst kids eye doctor who gave up all the diagnostic and surgical skills acquired for the adult eye care in favor of state of the art children’s eye care.
In addition to providing pediatric eye care, advanced set up was established for the treatment of squint in childrenand adult strabismus in the same year. The clinic has kept its promise by adding newer technologies and evidence based treatment protocols to provide the latest treatment in its pursuit of providing best pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus services to its fellow citizens.
In the year 2012, Jyotirmay eye clinic added first of its kind nystagmus treatment center in India after the installation of Intellinext, video nystagmography system from Eyedentify Inc. USA. Nystagmus or shaking of eyes is a common eye problem in children and affects neurologically affected adults for which not much medical help was available. Our pediatric eye doctor and the squint specialist, Dr Mihir Kothari underwent special training and has contributed immensely towards increasing the awareness regarding the problems and management of nystagmus among other kid eye doctors by conducting several education programmes, presenting the research papers and writing a book chapter on nystagmus.
