Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from patients before their first visit.
No referral is required. You can book directly by calling the practice or visiting one of the chambers during opening hours.
Modern phacoemulsification cataract surgery is done under local/topical anaesthesia and is generally well tolerated, with most patients reporting little to no pain during the procedure. Dr. Abir performs an injection-free, bandage-free approach in appropriately selected patients.
Many patients notice improved vision within a few days, with full recovery typically over a few weeks. Your exact timeline depends on your eye health and the specific procedure — Dr. Abir will guide you through aftercare at your follow-up visit.
Yes — medical retina, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema and related retinal vascular disease are among Dr. Abir's core areas of practice, including OCT-guided assessment and intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy.
Generally an annual dilated retinal examination is recommended for anyone with diabetes, even without symptoms — more frequent monitoring may be advised depending on your findings.
Bangladesh Eye Hospital, Khulna is open Saturday–Wednesday, 4:00–7:00 PM. Dristi Eye Hospital, Kushtia is open Thursdays, 3:00–8:00 PM. Both chambers are closed on Friday.
Please bring any previous prescriptions, test reports (such as OCT or blood sugar records) and a list of current medications, if available — this helps make your first visit more thorough.
