• The Yelahanka facility marks the introduction of advanced platforms and premium refractive cataract solutions in the region for the first time, bridging a critical technology gap and strengthening access to quality eye care closer to home

Bengaluru : Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital, a leading doctor-owned and doctor-led eye care hospital known for pioneering advanced ophthalmic technologies in India, has launched its newest super speciality centre in Yelahanka. The expansion addresses the growing demand for advanced tertiary eye care in rapidly developing North Bengaluru. The state-of-the-art facility strengthens Nethradhama’s presence in Karnataka while reinforcing its precision-driven, ethical, and patient-first approach focused on safety, clinical excellence, and superior visual outcomes.

The new centre was inaugurated by Prof. Dr. Sri Ganesh, Chairman and Managing Director, in the presence of Dr. Suman S, CEO and Director; Dr. Supriya Sriganesh, Executive Director; and Dr. Preethi V, Medical Superintendent of Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital. Sri S. R. Vishwanath, MLA, Yelahanka Constituency, visited the newly launched hospital and extended his best wishes to the team. The new facility enables residents of Yelahanka, Chikkaballapur, Kolar, and nearby regions to access advanced services, including laser cataract surgery, refractive procedures, retina, glaucoma, and cornea care closer to home, reducing the need for long-distance travel.

The Yelahanka branch offers comprehensive tertiary super speciality services under one roof, delivered by experienced specialists trained in Nethradhama’s established clinical protocols. The centre also aligns with the institution’s emphasis on innovation, research, and structured training through its School of Optometry, residency programmes, and postdoctoral fellowships affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, supporting a steady pipeline of well-trained specialists and ensuring consistent standards across locations.

Prof. Dr. Sri Ganesh, Chairman and Managing Director of Nethradhama, said, “Our strength lies in consistent clinical excellence and measurable patient outcomes. As a doctor-owned and doctor-led institution, every decision is guided by patient safety, quality treatment, and long-term visual health. The launch of the Yelahanka centre exemplifies our commitment to bringing advanced eye care closer to patients in emerging regions. We follow a self-funded, sustainable model of growth, expanding only after building strong clinical depth. This ensures that every centre upholds uniform standards of care and trust.”

The centre is equipped with advanced ophthalmic technologies, including Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS), premium refractive cataract solutions with full-range vision intraocular lenses, next-generation refractive platforms such as the VisuMax 800 and Ziemer Z8 Neo, as well as 3D digital microscopes and integrated digital workflows designed to enhance surgical precision, safety, and clinical outcomes.

Notably, several of these advanced laser-assisted and refractive surgical services are being made available in Yelahanka for the first time, significantly strengthening access to super specialty eye care in North Bengaluru. With the introduction of these cutting-edge technologies, patients in the region can now avail comprehensive, technology-driven cataract and vision correction procedures locally, reducing the need to travel to central parts of the city for complex interventions. The facility is positioned as a comprehensive super speciality eye care hub catering to the evolving needs of North Bengaluru.

Dr. Suman Shree R, CEO and Director of Nethradhama, added, “The Yelahanka centre reflects our commitment to delivering technology-driven eye care to emerging growth corridors of Bengaluru. By integrating specialised expertise, structured training, and advanced platforms, we aim to deliver predictable outcomes while maintaining the highest ethical and clinical standards. Our expansion strategy focuses on strengthening clinical depth and building centres of excellence across Karnataka.”

“It is a significant milestone for Nethradhama to bring advanced eye care services closer to communities in North Bengaluru. As the region continues to grow rapidly, expanding access to high-quality, ethical, and technology-driven healthcare becomes increasingly important. The Yelahanka centre reflects our commitment to ensuring timely diagnosis, early intervention, and greater convenience for patients and their families, while strengthening the overall healthcare ecosystem of the region,” said Dr. Supriya Sriganesh, Executive Director of Nethradhama.

As one of the first eye hospitals in India to receive NABH accreditation, Nethradhama operates with robust protocols and standardised systems that ensure consistent quality across centres. The launch of the Yelahanka facility marks a significant milestone in its calibrated expansion, further strengthening access to advanced, ethical, and technology-driven eye care in North Bengaluru.
