The service includes referrals to our sub-specialty departments wherever needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients who are referred for surgery from GOPD benefit from lower surgery charges with an option for further subsidies for the economically underprivileged. We are able to keep our GOPD fees low because we operate on the basis of cross-subsidization.\u00a0 The concept of the GOPD charge policy is to make its services affordable particularly for the poor and middle class in accordance with the organization\u2019s mission and founding principles.\u00a0Our policy is that no patient should leave our hospital without treatment because of limited finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OPD is manned by qualified ophthalmologists, optometrists, and a number of patient care staff. The examination rooms are well equipped with all the necessary equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GOPD registration remains open from 7.30 am to 5.00 pm and on Thursdays from 7.30 am to 1.30 pm. The OPD remains closed on Fridays and all government holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our OPD department has recently been expanded to minimize waiting time for patients. It takes approximately two hours from being registered to being seen by an optometrist and then a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of an emergency, the patient should go directly to the Emergency Department without the need for registering first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note patients of 16 years and under who need GOPD services should proceed directly to the Pediatric (Children Eyecare) department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"color:#0d9ddb\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Outpatient hours: 7:30 am to 5:00 pm<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#0d9ddb\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Walk-in appointments are seen on a first come first served basis on all working days.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#0d9ddb\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Patients are allowed to bring\u00a0<strong>only one attendant.<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#0d9ddb\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Children below 15 years of age are not allowed unless they are patients.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#0d9ddb\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Please call us for any change in your plan.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#ff0000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">A normal complete eye examination will take 2-3 hours, including the waiting period.
