The Eye Clinic Team
Raawiyah Mohamudally BA COT, Chief Ophthalmic Technician
Raawiyah worked as a pre-primary school teacher before she joined The Eye Clinic in 2017. She is gifted with great patience and will give you all the time you need! Raawiyah has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities and is the first in Mauritius to be accredited as a Certified Ophthalmic Technician by the International Joint Commission On Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (IJCAHPO). She has been awarded the IWantGreatCare Certificate of Excellence for 2021.
Abdullah Munglah COA, Ophthalmic Nurse Practitioner
Abdullah (aka Shinji Ikari) joined The Eye Clinic in September 2022 having completed his Diploma in Nursing from Polytechnics Mauritius. With Raawiyah's mentoring, he has rapidly become highly skilled and knowledgeable. As of September 2024, he is also accredited as an IJCAHPO Certified Ophthalmic Assistant.
Pamela Manikum, Trainee Receptionist
Pamela's journey at The Eye Clinic began with housekeeping, a responsibility she still oversees but will soon give up. She always had the desire to work as a medical secretary, so we decided to train her up for this. Her shy smile hides a strong, talented individual whose potential merits recognition and the opportunity to shine. She will look after you very well!
Yovana Pedaloo, Housekeeping
Impressed by how neatly pressed our uniforms are? Love your cup of hot coffee in the afternoon? Meet the smiling, friendly face who keeps these services thriving! Yovana joined us in December 2023 to cover for Pamela's absence. In the end, we liked her and she us, so she stayed. She takes great care of our premises and all those who visit.
Om Anand Ramphul, Logistics
Meet our inhouse superhero! He can fix anything and always responds when called to the rescue. Like all superheroes, he is rarely seen at headquarters (The Eye Clinic). You may spot him at the controls of our TECmobile, if you are lucky.
Would you like to join us?
The Eye Clinic is always on the lookout for talented individuals who want to make a difference. We offer great experience in a friendly environment with lots of opportunities. If you think you would fit in, send us a brief email, a CV and a smile!
Services
Vitreoretinal Surgery
Microincisional (25G/27G) vitrectomy using the finest instruments is our standard approach. We treat retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, complications from diabetic retinopathy, amongst others.
Lens Replacement Surgery
We offer microincisional lens replacement surgery using premium monofocal, monofocal plus and multifocal implants (as well as their toric versions) to achieve freedom from spectacles and contact lenses. We routinely use Augmented Reality to offer the best outcomes.
Intravitreal Therapy
Patients with sight-threatening conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and vein occlusion require frequent injections of drugs like ranibizumab, aflibercept and dexamethasone into the eye. We only use licensed, approved medications.
Retinal Laser
Laser to the retina is required in a number of different situations. In Mauritius, advanced diabetic retinopathy is by far the most common indication. Laser is also required to treat breaks in order to prevent retinal detachment.
YAG Laser
YAG laser allows precise incisions to be made without actually resorting to surgery. It is the treatment of choice for posterior capsular opacification (secondary cataract) and in acute glaucoma.
Diode Laser
The Eye Clinic is the first in Mauritius to offer sight-saving conventional diode laser treatment; a measure of last resort for the most severe cases of glaucoma. We also offer newer micropulse treatment (μCPC) which can help to delay or avoid filtration surgery,
Optical Coherence Tomography
OCT is an indispensable diagnostic tool in managing diseases of the retina. It also increasingly relied upon for glaucoma where it facilitates a quantitative assessment of the optic nerve. The Eye Clinic uses Heidelberg Engineering's Spectralis OCT - a true marvel of technology. Our device can also perform retinal angiography without using any dye.
Visual Field Testing
We offer automated perimetry using revolutionary technology based on a virtual reality platform. Visual field testing is essential in managing glaucoma and evaluating patients with neuro-ophthalmological complaints.
Digital Ophthalmic Photography
We offer an immersive patient experience made possible through the use of sophisticated imaging devices which allow patients and their relatives to witness, in real time, findings from their visit to The Eye Clinic. We are proudly the first to have introduced Optomap ultrawide field retinal imaging in Mauritius.
Ophthalmic Ultrasound
We proudly own Sonomed-Escalon's ultrasound device which allows us to "look into" the eye when light no longer travels in. Our patients with complex vitreoretinal problems and neglected cataract benefit enormously from this technology being at hand.
Corneal Topography
We offer in-house corneal topography and aberrometry for the benefit of patients having premium cataract and lens exchange surgery. Built-in algorithms within our topographer also allow the detection and monitoring of keratoconus.
Specular Microscopy
Our lens replacement surgery pathway now includes routine endothelial cell count analysis with automated specular microscopy. We are committed to offering the best possible outcomes and safety is our foremost concern!

Siven, as we affectionately knew him, contributed enormously to growing The Eye Clinic into the state-of-the facility that it is. With him around, we felt we could bring anything from anywhere in the world to serve our patients. A real gem, he passed away peacefully in late 2021.
