History / Establishment
| Joag Eye Hospital, started in 1991 as a small OPD with a consulting room of 200 sq.feet at Chati Galli. In 1995, Operation theatre and indoor admission facility was added, which later on was transferred to a newly built premises of 2000sq.feet in an elite area of Hotgi Road, Solapur. The OPD unit initially consisted of very basic facilities of only consultation, which progressed steadily by addition of sophisticated equipments like Auto-refractometer, Slit lamp with camera attachment, Applanation Tonometry, Autoperimeter, A Scan Biometry, YAG laser in OPD section and a well equipped spacious Operation Theatre with highly sophisticated Takagi Zoom microscope, phacoemulsifier, vitrectomy machine, Cryo unit etc. In 1995, Dr Yashashree Joag pioneered the technique of Radial Keratotomy, the only refractive surgery then available in India to give spectacle free vision to thousands of youngsters. As a step towards sophistication in refractive surgery, she became a Director of I-vision LASIK centre in 2011 to provide Laser refractive procedures like LASIK and PRK for correction of refractive errors. |
