ONLINE OPHTHALMOLOGY CONSULTATION

Divya Prabha Eye Hospital has always worked towards helping patients in every way possible. We have been at the forefront of empowering patients through our awareness programs on eye care. This includes glaucoma awareness programs like world's first glaucoma dive and other innovative events.
When it became difficult for patients to come to our hospital due COVID lockdown we launched our free consultation through whatsapp for our own patients. We offered solace to international patients isolated due to the lockout through NORKA ROOTS by Government of Kerala. More than 200 free online consultations were done.
Dr. Devin Prabhakar has fielded calls from NORKA ROOTS. He has also been a consultant for QKDoc, CallDoc and Vidal. Backed with this experience we have now lauched our own portal.
Online Consulation consists of five steps. First step is given below. In case you face any difficulty in using this portal please send a whatsapp or viber message to +919388342050.
