Ophthalmology centre opens

Rawalpindi : As the need for cosmetic eye surgery grows, Al-Shifa Trust (AST) has transformed its beautification unit into a full-fledged Aesthetic Ophthalmology Centre to meet patients’ medical and surgical needs.

In this connection, AST in Rawalpindi held a seminar on cosmetic ophthalmology, which many doctors from the twin cities attended. At the session, President AST Major General (r) Rehmat Khan said that cancer patients could use the facilities for free, and the centre’s profits would help other patients who cannot afford quality eye treatment. Speaking on the occasion, the chief of Medical Services and Dean, Professor Dr Wajid Ali Khan, Dr Tayyab Afghani, HOD Oculoplastics Department, and other experts discussed how aesthetic ophthalmology aims to improve the look and function of the eyes and structures around them. They said that the field of aesthetic ophthalmology uses both surgical and non-surgical methods to treat problems such as drooping eyelids, dark circles, wrinkles, and loss of volume.
