Eye hospital near Villivakkam, Chennai
Villivakkam is well-connected by road to Perambur, and many patients from there make the fifteen-minute trip to Aadithya Eye Care for LASIK screenings, children's eye checks and cataract consultations. Being a dedicated eye clinic rather than a general OPD means most visits are complete without a second appointment.
The conditions we commonly treat for this area
Villivakkam is a dense residential neighbourhood with a large number of schools, colleges and working families. Screen exposure starts young here and continues through the day in both children and adults. That pattern, combined with the area's age mix, produces a specific set of eye conditions that we see regularly from Villivakkam patients.
Myopia and digital eye strain
Children in Villivakkam are increasingly developing myopia at younger ages, and adults working long screen hours present with eye strain, headaches and worsening distance vision. We offer myopia control options for children and detailed refraction for all ages. Myopia and computer vision care.
LASIK candidacy
A significant number of our LASIK and SMILE patients come from Villivakkam and surrounding west-north Chennai areas. We do full candidacy screening, corneal mapping, tear film assessment and refraction stability check, before any decision is made. LASIK details and screening process.
Children's eye problems
Squint, lazy eye and refractive errors are consistently among the top reasons families come from Villivakkam. These conditions need early attention, patching, glasses or surgery depending on the case, and we've been managing paediatric cases since the clinic opened. Paediatric eye care.
Cataract in the 50s and 60s
As Villivakkam's older residents start noticing blurred vision, glare and difficulty reading, cataract assessment is often the first stop. We can confirm the diagnosis, explain the lens options clearly and schedule surgery at a time that suits, without referrals or waiting lists. Cataract surgery at Aadithya.

Dr Vasantha Gowri, MBBS, DO (Ophthalmology), FICO (UK), FRCS (Glasgow)
Dr Vasantha Gowri does the LASIK candidacy assessments personally, not through a technician. Her view on laser vision correction is straightforward: surgery is the right choice for some people and not for others, and the screening should reflect that honestly. Not everyone who walks in asking for LASIK gets it, but everyone gets a thorough explanation of why.
For children from Villivakkam, she brings over two decades of paediatric experience. Squint surgery, amblyopia therapy and myopia management are areas she has been involved in since the clinic's early years.
