The department of Ophthalmology has started functioning since 1975, with only Eye Surgeon. Ten years later it is functioning with an Assistant. Cataract surgeries with eye lens and other common surgeries were done initially by eye surgeon alone. In 1990 road traffic accident cases were attended with Neuro surgeons follow up. Traumatic injuries around eye, glaucoma and contact lens surgeries are performed. School medical check ups are taken up frequently.
