Drishtipunj in the news — conferences, live surgeries and recognition
At an ophthalmology conference in Kolkata, Dr Satya Prakash Tiwary was invited to perform complex retina and macular hole surgery live at Second Sight Southend Eye Centre. On 7 September he operated through an ultra-fine 27G incision — the first eye specialist from Bihar to perform such a complex live surgery. Surgeries of this kind are carried out regularly at Drishtipunj.
Young Ophthalmologists of India and Drishtipunj Eye Hospital held a Retina Conclave in Patna, attended by more than 150 eye specialists from across the country. Chief guest Jibesh Mishra, Bihar's Urban Development Minister, urged young ophthalmologists to serve people with the latest technology, and senior eye surgeons of the state were honoured.
Specialists discussed imaging such as OCT, angiography, ultrasound and autofluorescence for complex diseases of the retina. Among the speakers were Dr Anjana Mirajkar (Pune), Dr Avnindra Gupta (New Delhi), Dr Bhuvan Chanana and Dr Kartikeya Singh (Varanasi), with Drishtipunj's Dr Bandana Tiwary, Dr Naveen Jha, Dr Nilesh Kumar, Dr Ratnesh Ranjan and Dr Satya Prakash Tiwary on the new challenges of retina care in Bihar.
Drishtipunj Eye Hospital completed 300 successful Contoura Vision LASIK laser surgeries for freedom from glasses. Cataract and refractive surgeon Dr Bandana Tiwary said the hospital uses the world-class Alcon WaveLight EX500, and also offers ICL and clear lens exchange. Director Dr Satya Prakash Tiwary added that retina, cataract and glaucoma are treated with the latest technology.
Drishtipunj held a live surgery workshop on advances in eye care. More than 18 surgeries — phacoemulsification, vitreo-retina and LASIK — were performed in the hospital's operation theatre and broadcast live to Panash Banquet Hall, Saguna More, where over 200 eye specialists watched. Operating were Director Dr Satya Prakash Tiwary, Dr Anurag Mishra (Bhubaneswar), Dr Partha Biswas (Kolkata), Dr Lav Kochgave, Dr Prosenjit Mandal and others.
A full-page feature in ET Health Leaders Bihar 2024 on Drishtipunj — now in a new, larger building on Bailey Road — its modular operation theatres, Alcon Constellation vitrectomy, Zeiss microscopes and the WaveLight EX500 laser, and the team led by Dr Satya Prakash Tiwary and Dr Bandana Tiwary. Over 50,000 retinal patients are treated here every year.
ET Health Leaders Bihar 2023 ranked Drishtipunj first in ophthalmology and named it one of the highest-volume vitreo-retina facilities in eastern India, with more than 30,000 patients with retinal disorders treated every year — care that patients from Bihar once had to travel to Kolkata, Chennai or Delhi for.
