ABOUT US
Cornea Centre aims to offer tertiary care to cornea patients nationally and internationally. Situated in Sector 22 (Opposite to the Parade Ground), Chandigarh, India, it’s easily accessible by rail, road, and air from the National Capital New Delhi and other major towns/cities of the region. Our primary goal at Cornea Centre is to preserve and restore eyesight. We prioritize patient-friendly, high-quality medical care in a comfortable ambience that welcomes the entire family. Our aim is to make patients anticipate their visits as much as we anticipate seeing them. We focus not only on treating diseases but also on preventive care and growth monitoring. Our doctors bring vast experience from pioneer institutes like PGIMER (Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research), Chandigarh. Additionally, Cornea Centre extends eye care to the economically disadvantaged with subsidized rates. To raise awareness in villages and suburbs, we organize camps offering free consultation and medicines.
