Koregaon Park, Pune : <\/strong>The K K Eye Institute at Koregaon Park Pune, recently hosted a surgical\u00a0symposium\u00a0programme\u00a0focused on advanced glaucoma care.\u00a0Dr. Aparna Paranjpe, Head of the Glaucoma Department at\u00a0K\u00a0K\u00a0Eye\u00a0Institute, was joined by Dr. M Jariwala and Dr. S Mungale \u2013 all three\u00a0glaucoma specialists with extensive clinical and surgical experience \u2013 for a dedicated session of Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS).<\/p>\n The procedures performed included Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) and Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) Goniotomy. GATT is a micro-incisional procedure that restores the eye’s natural drainage pathway through a comprehensive 360-degree approach, reducing intraocular pressure while preserving conjunctival tissue and keeping future treatment options open. KDB Goniotomy uses precision-engineered instrumentation to remove diseased trabecular meshwork tissue, improving aqueous outflow and supporting effective long-term pressure control. Both techniques are designed to reduce surgical trauma and allow for faster recovery compared to conventional glaucoma surgery.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Aparna Paranjpe shared that this initiative is part of\u00a0the K\u00a0K\u00a0Eye\u00a0Institute\u2019s\u00a0ongoing effort to\u00a0provide the most competent patient care as a Centre of Excellence for Glaucoma\u00a0diagnostics and treatment modalities.\u00a0\u201cWe\u00a0bring together specialised surgical capability,\u00a0technology, and consistent patient follow-up under one roof. Initiatives\u00a0like this help us to\u00a0further\u00a0advance this expertise\u201d, said Dr.Paranjpe.<\/p>\n Known as the Silent Thief of Vision, Glaucoma<\/strong> affects over 12 million people<\/strong> in India. It is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, as the disease advances without warning signs. Access to\u00a0highly\u00a0advanced medical treatment and specialist expertise is therefore critical to manage and treat the disease.<\/p>\n With over 20 years of legacy and more than 2 lakh successful surgeries, K K Eye Institute is one of Pune’s most trusted super-speciality eye hospitals. Founded by Dada Vaswani, under the aegis of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission, the\u00a0Institute operates on the principle of #NoCompromise on clinical excellence and compassionate care.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Koregaon Park, Pune : The K K Eye Institute at Koregaon Park Pune, recently hosted a surgical\u00a0symposium\u00a0programme\u00a0focused on advanced glaucoma care.\u00a0Dr. Aparna Paranjpe, Head of the Glaucoma Department at\u00a0K\u00a0K\u00a0Eye\u00a0Institute, was joined by Dr. M Jariwala and Dr. S Mungale \u2013 all three\u00a0glaucoma specialists with extensive clinical and surgical experience \u2013 for a dedicated session…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3719"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3719\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3721,"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3719\/revisions\/3721"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samajsanchar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
