🎉 Celebrating a Milestone – Dr. Gargi Agarwal 🎉

We are proud to congratulate Dr. Gargi Agarwal on successfully completing her long-term fellowship in Cornea, Ocular Surface, and Refractive Surgery at LJ Eye Institute, under the mentorship of Dr. Vikas Mittal.

This journey reflects not just clinical excellence, but also the dedication, patience, and compassion that true healing demands.
"Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in." — Bill Bradley

As she steps into this new chapter, we're reminded that great doctors are shaped not only by skill, but by heart. As Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Here's to a future filled with continued learning, healing hands, and the kind of empathy that turns patients into believers.
Congratulations, Dr. Gargi Agarwal — the journey has just begun! 👁️✨

: Sign 5: Superficial Vascularization

The cornea is a “no-fly zone” for blood vessels. To keep your vision crystal clear, it stays perfectly avascular. However, when the eye faces chronic stress, it calls in the reinforcements.
Superficial Vascularization occurs when new blood vessels (neovascularization) grow from the limbal vascular plexus into the superficial layers of the cornea—specifically beneath the epithelium.

How to Spot It:

• The “Tree” Look: These vessels are bright red and well-defined. You can usually trace them back across the limbus to the conjunctival vessels.

• Pathing: They often branch out like a tree and can be seen “bridging” over the limbus.

• The Cause: It’s usually a cry for help. The most common culprits include:
• Contact Lens Overwear: Chronic hypoxia (lack of oxygen) forces the eye to grow its own supply lines.
• Chronic Inflammation: Conditions like blepharitis or rosacea.
• Infections: Microbial Keratitis

Series | Sign 3: Corneal deposits in Spheroidal degeneration

Spheroidal degeneration is a corneal degeneration characterized by amber-colored spherical deposits in the superficial cornea, typically in the interpalpebral area. It is associated with aging, ultraviolet exposure, and chronic environmental irritation. Vision may be affected in advanced cases, and treatment ranges from lubrication to keratoplasty depending on severity.
