Kumta Eye & Retina Clinic was established in the late nineties in Malad and was the first clinic in this part of Mumbai to deal exclusively with complex retinal problems. Over the last few years it has grown to become
a tertiary level center for vitreoretinal surgery with patients coming from very far off places including other states and the middle east as well. All this through only word of mouth publicity. It receives referrals from several
prominent ophthalmologists as well as other vitreoretinal surgeons to handle their patients with complicated vitreoretinal problems. It is extremely well equipped with the latest equipment and excellent optometrists as well nursing
and operation theatre staff and front desk personnel. It caters to a huge number of patients with one of the largest volumes of vitreoretinal patients in Mumbai.
