Promoting the Scope of in Tilganga:
Dr. Malita Amatya (Oculoplastic & Aesthetic Eye Surgeon, TIO) recalls the moment of "Masterclass in Oculofacial Aesthetics" held in Singapore last year with pride as it has contributed in many ways for her day-to-day experiences.
This was a compact masterclass which included anatomy and different clinical aspects of Ocular and Facial aspects of Aesthetics lectured by renowned Ophthalmologists and Dermatologists at Singapore participated from different countries organized by Asia Pacific Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstrutive Surgery (APSOPRS) and Singapore Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstrutive Surgery (SSOPRS).
It included both medical and surgical aspects of Aesthetics. On first day, full lecture on anatomy and clinical aspects of eyelids and facial structures were presented by different faculties from different countries. This also included medical surgical management of different conditions explained and shown with pictures and videos in short.
On second day, there were lectures and presentations for half day, and second half day was demonstration and hands-on class regarding Botox application and injectable dermal fillers on mannequin. Participating in hands-on programs for 2 to 3 hours made participants feel interactive to friends from different countries and faculties to clear their doubts. Reading and knowing alone is not sufficient as practically doing is entirely a very different thing.
As Injecting Botox is familiar to TIO as doing injection Botox is continued from very beginning. Now some portion of the aesthetic part is added to our knowledge for the use of injection Botox.
The use of injection dermal fillers is new to us as this service has not been started by Ophthalmologist in our country and few Dermatologist do practice for aesthetic purpose in Nepal.
Dr. Malita adds, "Surgical procedures for Ocular aesthetics were known to us. Knowing and seeing different techniques by different people was very interesting."
This program ended with an opportunity to visit one of our senior faculty Dr Stephanie Young’s clinic and operating theatre performing few cases.

ABOUT US

Nepal Eye Program was officially launched in July 1992 to support the prevention & control of blindness in Nepal and the region. Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology (TIO) is the implementing body of the Nepal Eye Program, a not-for-profit, community-based organization. With an aim to act as a model for treatment, research and training, one of the active members of Apex Body for eye health, Ministry of Health (MoH), Nepal and working in co-operation with all other eye care centers in Nepal. The TIO facility was opened in 1994.

In the early years, working with The Fred Hollows Foundation (FHF), Australia, TIO played a key role to help refine and adapt a practical, safe, and affordable technique of intraocular lens implant for cataract surgery in developing countries. Another key achievement in the early days was the establishment of the country’s first eye bank, in conjunction with Tissue Banks International in Baltimore, USA, and Lions International.

Another vital international association of TIO early on was with the Himalayan Cataract Project (HCP), USA. They helped to run unique projects empowering local physicians to alleviate the suffering caused by blindness, including skills-transfer education, cost-recovery, research, and the creation of a network of eye care facilities.

With the establishment of the state of the art manufacturing facility for intraocular lenses funded, designed & constructed by FHF, TIO had started off considerably well equipped in its journey towards blindness prevention and eye care. After fourteen years, TIO is still determined in its mission to be the hub for ophthalmic services, academia and research. The current focus of TIO is on strengthening its academic unit, opening more rural community eye centres in the hilly and mountainous districts of Nepal and above all sharing the ‘Tilganga’ model of eye care concept to others.
