Dr Cyres Mehta was invited by the European Society of Cataract and Refractive (LASIK) Surgeons, to present his research in Barcelona , Spain during their annual meeting in September Dr Cyres delivered not less than 9 lectures on Advanced cataract surgery, Advanced Glaucoma Surgery as well as LASIK (number correction) laser.
Rarely has any Indian surgeon been invited to deliver this number of lectures at the European Society, considered the hub of science in the eye care industry.
He also released the Latest issue of the Indian journal of cataract and refractive surgery at the hands of Prof Boris Malyugin, Director of the world famous Fyodorov Eye Institute, Moscow. Dr Cyres has once again been appointed as the Indian Editor of the magazine of the European Society of Cataract surgeons, EUROTIMES, the first Indian to edit an edition of the same.
Not so long ago, very hard cataracts, patients with bleeding disorders or high diabetes and other diseases posed a risk during cataract surgery.With modern technology and techniques most of the risk has been eliminated. Dr Cyres showed a new method of handling the hardest cataracts. His film on these techniques was also displayed at their film festival. In addition to that he also taught a few courses on cataract and glaucoma surgery along with great stalwarts like Prof Fine, Malyugin and others who are pioneers of these surgeries.
Today a new technique of glaucoma surgery called 'Canaloplasty' has become prominent. Here the eye is not opened and only a very fine suture one tenth the thickness of a hair is passed around the eye canal. This brings the pressure down safely. This version of,"Non penetrating glaucoma surgery"'has become very prominent.
Using modern laser techniques, even people with irregular corneas can have their spectacle numbers removed. Dr Cyres presented his research on the latest multifocal lens implants whereby after cataract surgery the person is totally free of spectacles and can resume work in just a day or two.
Dr Cyres is the Surgical Director and Chief of the new, International Eye Centre, opposite the Strand Cinema at Colaba.The centre has for the first time in India a high speed full system OPTOVUE OCT analyzer which examines the eye in layers starting from the cornea to the retina.
Dr Cyres has been on the forefront of cataract surgery with the latest methods and lenses as well as Glaucoma and Spectacle removal by laser since 2001.
