Bengaluru: Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, one of the country’s leading eye care networks, today announced the launch of its new eye care centre in Sunkadakatte, Bengaluru. Spread across a super built-up area of 6,400 sq. ft., the facility marks the group’s 17th centre in the city, bringing comprehensive, world-class ophthalmic care closer to one of Bengaluru’s fast-growing western residential corridors.
Designed as a full-scale eye care destination, the Sunkadakatte centre is equipped with the latest diagnostic technology and high patient-handling capacity to ensure minimal wait times, with all advanced ophthalmology investigations available under one roof. The new centre offers residents of Sunkadakatte and the surrounding neighbourhoods a comprehensive range of eye-care specialities, including cataract surgery, refractive services (LASIK and ReLEx SMILE), retinal services, diabetic retinopathy management, glaucoma management, corneal services, glued IOL, dry eye evaluation, keratoconus management, squint management, paediatric ophthalmology, oculoplasty and orbit, uvea, neuro-ophthalmology, contact lens services, opticals, an in-house pharmacy, and full investigation and laboratory services. Patients can also access walk-in consultations, online appointment booking, specialist consultations, cashless insurance processing for eligible procedures, TPA-supported claims, multilingual patient support, and pre- and post-operative counselling.
To deliver world-class clinical outcomes, the centre is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), fundus photography, perimetry, corneal topography, optical biometry for IOL power calculation, A-scan, auto refraction, non-contact tonometry, slit-lamp examination, B-scan, Yag laser and green laser systems. On the surgical side, the hospital offers advanced phacoemulsification, Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS), premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, LASIK, Femto-LASIK, SMILE and Contoura Vision, along with vitreo-retinal services, intravitreal injections, corneal transplant surgery, squint surgery and glued IOL. The centre also offers emergency and trauma eye care along with an in-house pharmacy, and once operational, plans to formalise a tie-up with a nearby facility for ambulance support.
Dr. Srinivasan G Rao, Regional Head – Clinical Services, Karnataka, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, Sunkadakatte, “Our Sunkadakatte centre has been built to bring every stage of eye care under one roof, from advanced diagnostics to complex surgical procedures. Patients in this corridor no longer need to travel across the city for specialised treatment – whether it is a routine consultation, a cataract evaluation, or a more complex retinal or corneal condition, our teams and technology are equipped to manage it right here, with the same clinical standards as any of our larger centres.”
To mark the launch and give back to the community, Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital is conducting focused vision awareness drives to educate the community on cataract management, early detection of glaucoma to prevent silent vision loss, prevention of diabetic retinopathy, and the importance of protecting children’s vision. More information on this can be availed on the helpline number 9594360222.
The expansion into Sunkadakatte is a deliberate, data-driven move designed to serve one of Bengaluru’s fastest-growing western residential corridors, home to a large influx of IT and industrial workforce, and a diverse migrant population settling into large-scale apartments and gated communities. Its strong connectivity to neighbouring markets such as Nagarbhavi, Annapoorneshwari Nagar, Bharath Nagar and Thavarekere ensures the new centre is easily accessible to patients across multiple surrounding neighbourhoods. The move also gives Dr Agarwals a first-mover advantage in a high-growth corridor, while strengthening the brand’s wider network of clinics across Bengaluru through a localised, easily reachable model of eye care.
Dr. Antariksh J Mohta, Consultant Ophthalmologist, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, Sunkadakatte, “Sunkadakatte is home to a large working population and growing young families, and we are already seeing the impact of screen-heavy lifestyles on eye health, from digital eye strain to rising cases of paediatric myopia. Our aim with this centre is to catch these issues early, through regular screening and accessible care, rather than waiting for patients to seek help only once symptoms become serious.”
With the launch of the Sunkadakatte centre, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital now operates 16 facilities across Bengaluru, reflecting the brand’s broader vision to deepen its presence in Karnataka and strengthen its leadership position across South India. Rather than requiring patients to travel across the city for specialised treatment, the hospital’s strategy is centred on hyper-local expansion, placing advanced, world-class eye care directly within high-growth residential corridors, a move expected to help the network scale further into Karnataka’s emerging markets while ensuring patients receive the same international standards of clinical excellence across every location. The launch also addresses a long-standing gap in the region’s healthcare ecosystem, as residents of this rapidly developing corridor have historically had to travel long distances across the city, or coordinate between multiple clinics, to access different diagnostic and surgical services.
The centre also responds to Bengaluru’s changing eye health needs. In recent years, the city has witnessed a sharp rise in Computer Vision Syndrome (digital eye strain) and chronic dry eye among its vast working population, alongside a growing incidence of paediatric myopia linked to early screen exposure, and an increasing need for regular screening for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma among adults. With dedicated units for paediatric care, cornea and refractive services, and advanced retina care, the Sunkadakatte centre has been designed to respond directly to these trends, bringing timely, world-class eye care within reach of working professionals, young families and seniors across the corridor.
