Practice profile
Squint and Eye Movement Disorders
Miss Kasbekar treats a full spectrum of adult eye movement disorders, including squints and double vision. Her surgical expertise includes revision squint procedures, vertical muscle surgery, adjustable suture and small incision techniques. She also offers non-surgical treatment options, including botulinum toxin (Botox) injections for squint correction
Cataract surgery
Miss Kasbekar provides general eye examinations and expertise in cataract surgery for all age groups, from infants to adults. Her dedication to quality care is reflected in her personal clinical outcomes
Dual expertise
Miss Kasbekar’s adult strabismus practice is built on the foundations of children’s eye care. She holds fellowship training in both paediatric ophthalmology and adult ocular motility.
