MCR Diabetes & Eye Care

 Eye Care

Eyes are one of the most vital organs of the body, and their health directly influences quality of life. Conditions like cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and refractive errors can silently reduce vision if not detected and treated on time.

At MCR Diabetes & Eyecare Centre, Kannur, we offer comprehensive eye care services, combining advanced diagnostic tools with the expertise of skilled experts. From routine eye check-ups to specialised treatments, we ensure that every patient receives precise, safe, and compassionate care.

Our Focus

  • Prevention: Regular eye check-ups to detect vision problems early.
  • Diagnosis: Use of advanced equipment (OCT, fundus photography, tonometry, etc.) for accurate assessments.
  • Treatment: Personalised care plans for cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and more.
  • Rehabilitation: Helping patients with visual aids, spectacles, and contact lenses.
  • Integration: Close coordination with our Diabetology Department for diabetes-related eye complications.
