In ophthalmology, early diagnosis and timely intervention can mean the difference between clear vision and lifelong blindness. Guided by this belief, Dr. Kiran Kumar Punnam, Founder of Kiran Eye Care, has dedicated his professional journey to ensuring that advanced eye care reaches even the most underserved populations of Telangana.
Located in Mancherial, Kiran Eye Care was established with a clear objective—to provide comprehensive and specialized ophthalmic services within the region. Dr. Punnam’s extensive training in cataract surgery, retinal disorders, corneal diseases, and refractive procedures enables him to manage both routine and complex cases with consistently high success rates.
A cornerstone of Dr. Punnam’s mission is community-centric eye care. Through structured screening programs conducted in schools and orphanages, Kiran Eye Care has identified numerous cases of untreated refractive errors, chronic infections, and developmental eye disorders. For many children, timely intervention has not only restored vision but also transformed their academic performance, confidence, and overall quality of life.
Dr. Punnam Kiran Kumar is particularly recognized for his contributions to pediatric ophthalmology and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) care. Premature infants are highly vulnerable to retinal complications that can lead to permanent blindness if left undetected. By introducing ROP screening services in Mancherial, Kiran Eye Care has addressed a critical healthcare gap and provided families with access to specialized neonatal eye care close to home.
Elderly patients also form a significant portion of the hospital’s patient base. Age-related conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration are managed using modern micro-incision techniques and premium lens implants, ensuring faster recovery and improved visual quality. Many patients regain independence and confidence after surgery, reinforcing the hospital’s patient-centric approach.
Recognizing evolving lifestyle trends, Kiran Eye Care has intensified its focus on myopia management and digital eye strain, especially among children and young adults. Advanced diagnostic protocols and awareness initiatives aim to prevent long-term vision damage caused by excessive screen usage.
Looking ahead, Dr. Punnam plans to expand the Pediatric Vision Safety Project, increase school screening coverage, and strengthen parental education programs. Continuous technological upgrades and adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques remain top priorities.
Through unwavering dedication, ethical practice, and compassionate care, Dr. Kiran Kumar Punnam has positioned Kiran Eye Care as a pillar of vision health in Telangana, proving that high-quality eye care can thrive beyond metropolitan boundaries.
