New website for Radiant Eye Hospital

Radiant Eye Hospital launched its website radianteye.lk on June 2, 2016. Healthcare professionals, stakeholders and members of the media were present at the launch.

Heading the team is hospital founder Dr. Shamintha Amaratunga, an eye surgeon who has a reputation for excellence in eye care. Dr. Amaratunga has over 120,000 surgeries to his credit. He is renowned for outreach programmes performing free cataract surgeries for the needy.

To celebrate the occasion, Dr. Amaratunga and his team conducted an eye camp completing 25 cataract surgeries free-of-charge on the day of the launch.

While fulfilling the responsibilities of an eye care facility in using the best methods to enhance vision Radiant Eye's aim is to enrich patients' lives through outstanding patient care, motivation and guidance.

The hospital is a one-stop facility for everything eye related, in all its subspecialties. With friendly service, it serves humanity with a passion.

Creating a warm and relaxing environment, while using the design language of hotels and resorts, it is a visible change to the typical hospital.

The hospital is in Dandugama between Negombo and Colombo alongside the main road and close to the highway.

It is equipped with ample parking.

Radiant Eye Hospital houses state-of-the-art technology. These include the latest IOLMaster and Electro physiological studies for ERG. The Modular Operating Theatre is an engineering masterpiece with its machinery, maintenance of adequate air pressure, copper Lamina Flow air filtration system, antibacterial seamless materials for walls and the epoxy floor.

Radiant Eye maintains high standards in infection control, which is often neglected in the health sectors of developing countries.

Strict protocols on infection control are established, based on the AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) and the infection control manuals by Sri Lanka College of Microbiologists under the continuous supervision of a Senior Consultant Microbiologist.

While following latest movements in international website design, the site has much to offer. It will also be used as a platform to educate and spread awareness to the public.

Dr. Amaratunga hopes to eventually develop Radiant Eye as an educational centre for professionals and patients. "Right now, our focus is on a holistic approach to eye care that is accessible to different income groups," he said.
