Vision Eye Clinic - Patna District

Dr Tarannum Fatima is a brilliant ophthalmologist and one of Bihar’s most skilful and experienced paediatric eye surgeons. She has also published many research papers and made presentations abroad - bringing the vital work being done in ophthalmology in Bihar to the attention of a wider audience.

The two Covid-19 waves hit Bihar’s capital city very badly. Now, she is very busy again dealing with patients whose eye problems were exacerbated during lockdowns.

The most common problems? Mature cataract causing high pressure within the eye (phacomorphic glaucoma) and untreated tears on the cornea (the transparent layer at the front of the eye and its most important refractive surface that helps us to see).
