 Hello, I am Dr. Sheetal Balal, Consultant Catrath and Refractive Surgery of Thal Department Manipal Hospital. As we know, we are all going through very difficult times due to this COVID pandemic. And as responsible healthcare providers, we have ensured our maximum precautions to ensure the safety of not only our patients but also our staff. We have taken all the precautions and regulations as provided by the AIS guidelines as well as the state regulations. This includes a no-touch thermal screening of all patients and staff who enter the hospital, a detailed history of travel as well as symptoms before they enter the department, social distancing in our OPD waiting area, ensuring that the adjacencies are kept empty, complete sanitization of all areas which are frequently touched as well as instruments and equipment used for every patient. Not only this, we have also started our routine surgeries including catrath, retina, refractive procedures and even here we have taken our maximum precautions by sanitization of the entire OT complex after each case and also maintaining social distance in the waiting area for the OT as well. We also try to keep the stain of the patients in the hospital as short as possible. So, for those who have any healthcare needs pertaining to the eye, we can ensure them that our hospital is absolutely safe as the safety of all our patients and our staff are at the forefront of our minds.
