Medical Background

Retina surgery is often time-sensitive. Mrs. Salma was experiencing significant vision impairment that required a Vitreoretinal intervention. At 62, the goal was not just to treat the eye, but to ensure a recovery that would allow her to maintain her quality of life.

Considering the limited options locally and the importance of early treatment, she decided to seek care in India, known for its experienced retina specialists and modern eye treatment facilities.

Arrival and Consultation in India

Upon her arrival in India, our coordinators assisted her with airport pickup, hospital appointments, and other local arrangements. At Max Hospital, Mrs. Salma Bibi underwent a detailed eye evaluation done by Dr. Atul Kumar. 

Dr. Atul Kumar is a legendary figure in retinal surgery. Having served as the Chief of the RP Centre at AIIMS, he has performed tens of thousands of complex procedures. He has been awarded the Padma Shri (one of India's highest civilian honors) for his contributions to medicine. 

Dr. Kumar explained her condition, the surgical approach, and the recovery process in a clear and reassuring manner. It helped her feel confident and prepared for the procedure.

Surgery and Hospital Stay

The retina surgery was performed successfully using an advanced "stitchless" ophthalmic technique. The procedure went as planned, and Mrs. Salma Bibi responded well to the treatment.

Following surgery, she received close post-operative monitoring, medication guidance, and clear instructions for eye care. The hospital staff ensured she remained comfortable and well supported throughout her recovery.

Recovery in India

Mrs. Salma Bibi stayed in India for approximately two weeks to allow adequate time for recovery and follow-up visits. During this period, her condition remained stable, and her vision gradually improved.

Our team stayed in touch throughout her stay, assisting with follow-up appointments and ensuring all arrangements were handled smoothly before her return to Mauritius.

Patient Experience

Mrs. Salma Bibi returned home with her vision stabilized and a clear plan for long-term eye health.

"I was nervous about traveling so far for my eyes, but the team at Max Hospital and the guidance from Qonaq Health made it easy. Being treated by a doctor as experienced as Dr. Atul Kumar was a blessing." - Mrs. Salma Bibi
