In today’s episode join me, as I interview Dr Rushad Shroff, an expert ophthalmologist to answer all your questions about eye health. We cover everything from nearsightedness and farsightedness to myopia in kids, and explain why annual eye screenings and following ophthalmological guidelines are so important.

In this episode, we discuss dry eyes, the role of blue light filters, and whether contact lenses are truly risky. We also dive into LASIK and SILK eye surgeries, compare the two procedures, and address common doubts people have before eye surgery.

Whether you’re considering LASIK, worried about your child’s vision, or want simple strategies to protect your eyes, this interview is packed with reliable, expert-backed information to help you maintain healthy vision for life. @shroffeyecentre.official

Hi Dr. Pal, my name is Raja, and I’m a subscriber from Malaysia. I’d love for you to create a detailed podcast episode about healthy individual food choices — like eggs, red meat, white meat, vegetables, and fruits — that can benefit people living with diabetes.

My son who is three years old is having congenital ptosis issue his eyelid covers around 30% of his eye so I checked with the big eye doctors in tamil nadu they said his vision doesn't looks to be a problematic and moreover right now they can't precisely tell if he is having or developing any eyesight issues. I thank God his eye nerve doesn't have any problem. Doc advised If needed I can go for a cosmetologist surgery to correct his eyelid however they stated he can able to close only the 80% of his eye even when he is sleeping if surgery is done and moreover when he tries to looks down the eyelid will not come down as like normal people how we have it. So I asked the doctor what is the use of doing the surgery as of now his eyelid is not going up after the surgery his eyelid will not come down so I don't feel this is the best solution. If I have any better treatment in India for ptosis I think I can proceed further for his wellness.

Hi doctor, please make a podcast on ADHD in adults, especially women . Because there are many adults who still remain undiagnosed, leading a hard life. Need more clarity on ADHD in adults in India.

Please take up cosmetic surgeries such as B-augmentation and tummy tuck surgery as well..

In my daughter case its just books, i thought screens are bad and i did not give any ipads or mobile but still my daughter is having myopia, main reason is not being outside though it does affect unless kids are outside. Screens and books are same concentrating on near vision, leaving far vision
