NOT EVERY EYE PROBLEM STARTS WITH A WARNING
Most eye conditions develop quietly, without obvious symptoms. By the time you notice a change in your vision, the condition may already need attention. Our General OPD helps identify eye problems early, assess your overall eye health, and guide you to the right specialist when needed.
What Is General OPD?
General OPD (Outpatient Department) is your first point of contact for comprehensive eye care. It's where every patient, regardless of age or complaint, receives a complete evaluation of their vision and eye health before any further treatment is recommended.
Many eye problems don't show obvious symptoms until they've already progressed. A routine checkup can pick up on issues like refractive errors, early cataracts, or signs of conditions such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy long before you'd notice anything yourself.
That's why every OPD visit starts with a thorough eye examination. Using detailed vision tests and diagnostic screening, our team builds a complete picture of your eye health and flags anything that needs closer attention.
A general OPD visit typically covers:
- Vision and refraction testing
- Eye pressure check (for glaucoma screening)
- Front-of-eye and retina examination
- Assessment of common complaints (redness, irritation, dryness, etc.)
- Guidance on whether specialist care is needed
At Amanat Eye Hospital, we believe every patient deserves a proper starting point, not a rushed diagnosis. That's why our OPD is led by experienced eye care professionals who take the time to understand your symptoms and history before deciding on next steps.
Whether you're due for a routine checkup, dealing with a new symptom, or need a referral to one of our specialty clinics like Cornea, Retina, Glaucoma, or Pediatric Ophthalmology, our General OPD is where your care begins.

Our OPD Examination
Visual Acuity & Refraction
Measuring How You See Near and Far
This is where almost every eye exam begins. Using a standard eye chart, we check how clearly you can see both up close and far away. It's a simple test, but it gives us an important baseline for everything else we check afterward. If your vision isn't as sharp as it should be, we'll do a quick refraction test to find out why, whether it's short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism, or an age-related change in focus. This tells us if you simply need glasses or contact lenses, or if further testing is needed.

What to expect during your visit
Before Your Exam
Your visit starts with a quick conversation about your symptoms or concerns. From there, we tailor a series of vision and health screenings to what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
During Your Exam
Most general OPD tests are quick, painless, and require no special preparation. Some tests, like a dilated fundus exam, may involve eye drops that temporarily blur your vision or increase light sensitivity for a few hours.
After Your Exam
Our optometrist or ophthalmologist will walk you through the findings and, if needed, refer you to the appropriate specialist department for further evaluation or treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is OPD?
OPD stands for Outpatient Department. It's the part of a hospital or clinic where patients can see a doctor, get tests done, or receive treatment without being admitted or staying overnight. Once the consultation or procedure is finished, the patient goes home the same day.
What are Amanat Eye Hospital's standard OPD hours?
Our OPD is open daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. If you'd like to see a specific specialist, we recommend calling at 051 8439993 to confirm their availability, as timings may vary by doctor.
Do I have to take an appointment before visiting OPD?
No, you can walk in during OPD hours. To see a specific specialist or for follow-ups, an appointment may be needed.
How long does a typical OPD eye consultation take?
A routine consultation usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, though it may take longer if additional tests like dilation or scans are needed.
Will my eyes be dilated during the OPD visit?
Dilation is done only if the doctor feels it's necessary for a proper examination. If dilated, your vision may stay blurry for a few hours, so it's best to bring someone along or avoid driving afterward.
What are the most common eye tests done during an OPD visit?
Common tests include visual acuity (reading chart), refraction test for glasses/contact lens power, eye pressure check (for glaucoma), and a general retina examination.
