It all began with one word. Ojas – a Sanskrit term that literally means vigor. The word Ojas represents the essential energy of the body, and it is often equated with the “fluid of life” or the essence of life.
Dr. Niteen Dedhia set up Ojas Eye Hospital in January of 1987 with the aim to serve people in their quest for health and well-being – specifically in the field of Advanced Ophthalmology. Located in a small clinic, called Elite Nursing Home, Bandra, it represented the first step of a long journey. Befitting its lofty goals, the first center was inaugurated by Dr. Chandrika Kenia, the then Health Minister of the Government of Maharashtra. The endeavor was blessed by Smt. Naliniben (visionary social activist) and Dr. Chhaganlal Dedhia (renowned Urosurgeon), the venerated parents of Dr. Niteen Dedhia.
Dr. Dedhia and his team’s selfless investment of their time and efforts soon delivered the fruitful results of happy patients with contented smiles. Within a span of 5 years, the response from the patients elevated Ojas to one of the most reliable and trusted for various advanced eye treatments. In order to reach out to larger numbers of patients, Dr. Dedhia set up the second branch of Ojas at Opera House, in the heart of Mumbai city. The number of satisfied patients grew by leaps and bounds. There was no turning back. In time, to cater to the increasing needs of patients, and to accommodate modern machines and equipment Ojas Eye Hospital relocated to a bigger space at Roseland Building, 180 Water field Road Bandra (W).
Today the center has a team of 45 doctors, assistants, and administrative staff and operates from Bandra and Kandivali. Both the centers have advanced medical equipment imported from Japan, Germany, and the USA. Ojas Eye Hospital is host to super-specialty clinics dedicated to Refractive Surgery, Cataract, Oculoplasty, Contact Lens, Retina, Paediatric Ophthalmology, Squint, Glaucoma, and Cornea. Dr. Dedhia and his team has treated more than 1,25,000 patients over the past three decades and performed more than 50,000 Lasik surgeries for patients hailing from 191 countries.
