As a professor of Ophthalmology Dr.
Om Parkash, the founder, took premature
retirement with only talent and goodwill to bank upon. Dr.
Om Parkash was the second generation into Ophthalmology.
Dr. Tulsi Das, whose
nephew was Dr. Om Parkash, was the leading Ophthalmologist
in the free India. He was conferred upon with national
honors by the President of India with PADAM BHUSHAN. Dr.
Tulsi Das was the DIRECTOR FOUNDER of PGIMER, Chandigarh.
Dr. Om Parkash Satyam Netralaya started with a rented
building in 1968. It has grown in leaps and bounds keeping
pace with the expectations to provide par excellent
comprehensive diverse eye care to people from all over the
world.
The present set up since 1983 has been great and rapid
developments in the different sub specialties of
ophthalmology with the Netralaya keeping pace and acting as
torch bearer in many Ophthalmologic developments.
The belief lies in providing state-of- the-art equipment and
facilities, adopting latest proven technologies and methods
for total eye care. We believe in equal focus on the eyes as
well as the patient. Patient’s complete satisfaction and
well-being through the total involvement of the hospital
staff at all the level is what we aim for. We are striving
to continually improve our systems, processes and methods of
delivery of eye care.
Prof. Dr. Om Parkash, the founder, had to his credit more
than 1, 90,000 eye surgeries.
In the early days of Intra Ocular Lens Implantation there
were two schools of thoughts. One school of thought in India
believed in Anterior Chamber/Iris claw Intra Ocular Lens
Implantation where as Dr. Om Parkash had the vision of
believing & implanting the Intra Ocular Lens in the
Posterior Chamber In the Bag.
How true and perfect was the clinical acumen of this pioneer
of “POSTERIOR CHAMBER IN THE BAG IOL IMPLANTATION”? It is
because almost all ophthalmologists use this technique
nowadays. Dr. Om Parkash left for his heavenly abode on Dec.
21st 1985.
Dr. Rohit Om Parkash who
is the third generation into ophthalmology heads the
cataract unit. The Cataract unit is one of the most advanced
in the world. Dr. Rohit is one of the earliest ones in 1995
to start with phacoemulsification, the latest technique for
Cataract removal.
Dr. Om Parkash Satyam Netralaya is the only institution in
North India which is using the latest technology of the
“TORSIONAL EMULSIFICATION” employing 2.2mm incision
micro coaxial technique with
IQ Intra Ocular Lens {IOL}/
RESTOR multifocal IOL implantation. This is possible
because of the installation of
INFINITI VISION SYSTEM, which is the most advanced
Phacoemulsification unit in the world for cataract surgery.
Torsional Emulsification is a much safer & efficient
technique than the traditional phacoemulsification
technique.
Dr. Rohit Om Parkash is the convener of the ‘THE PHOENIX

Germany in January, 2005 where his concepts on management of
Diabetic eye related problems “RECENT TRENDS IN TREATING
DIABETIC MACULAR OEDEMA” were widely acclaimed.
