The world’s largest eye-care hospital network, Vasan Eye Care Hospital, has just begun operations in Sri Lanka, bringing the next generation of super-specialisation in eye care. Easily accessible and conveniently located in Colombo 3, the Vasan hospital in Colombo is equipped with the latest facilities where patients are served by a well experienced team led by top ophthalmologists and other consultants in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

The most compelling aspect of Vasan isn’t that it will offer more services in eye care, but the fact that it will offer all of those services under one roof. It is the most complete eye care facility in the country. All requirements from a lab test to a simple intervention to a complicated surgery will be attended to in this facility. The hospital also boasts a fully-fledged optical outlet with the latest collection of opticals and frames.

Vasan Eye Care has clinics that specialise in specific eye conditions. Its expertise spans across 38 eye care specialities including cataract services, refractive surgery services, cornea services, glaucoma services, retina services, paediatric ophthalmology and squint services, oculoplasty services, UVEITIS, vision rehabilitation services, computer vision syndrome clinic, contact lenses, optical services etc.

Vasan Eye Care Hospital has the latest state-of-the-art medical diagnostic and intervention capability, some of them only available in Vasan’s Colombo arm. Furthermore, Sri Lanka’s only Luminer Microscopy Camera deployed in retina surgery is available at Vasan Eye-Care. The Colombo facility is also equipped with three fully-modern modular surgical theatres.

Maintaining the highest industry standards in Vasan Eye Care Hospital, all doctors and staff members are known for their excellent patient service. “We train every staff member for their knowledge of vision care, patient satisfaction abilities, attitude, and character. We aim to explore new frontiers in optometry using a multi-disciplinary approach to clinical diagnosis, interventions and treatment outcomes. Vasan has already acquired some of the best eye-care specialists in Sri Lanka,” a top official of the hospital said.
