“Driven by our commitment to adopt cutting edge technology in ophthalmology, we are introducing Femtosecond Laser technology for cataract surgery at Mirchia’a Laser Eye Centre in Chandigarh, now a unit of Centre for Sight.

Femtosecond Laser technology is being touted as an effective technology for cataract surgery since this blade-less, stitch-less technique delivers precise results.
