About

Meet Dr. Adnan Kabir

Consultant Ophthalmologist & Cataract / Refractive Surgeon

Dr. Adnan Kabir Chowdhury first understood the weight of sight as a young doctor on the eye wards, watching a patient recognise a grandchild's face again after cataract surgery. That moment shaped his path: MBBS, specialist training in ophthalmology, and later advanced fellowship work in cataract and refractive surgery, so that the finest techniques could be offered to patients here at home.

“Good eyesight is a quiet gift. My work is to protect it with precision, patience and honesty.”

FAQs

Questions, answered

Clear, honest answers to the things patients ask most before an eye examination or procedure. This is general information only; advice for your own eyes always follows a consultation.

As a general guide, adults without symptoms benefit from a comprehensive eye examination every one to two years. People who wear glasses or contact lenses, have diabetes, have a family history of glaucoma, or are over 40 are often advised to be seen more regularly.

Children, anyone with an existing eye condition, and anyone who notices a change in vision may need more frequent reviews. The right interval for you is best decided at a consultation.

Special drops are used to widen the pupil so the retina and optic nerve at the back of the eye can be examined thoroughly. It is painless, though the drops can sting briefly.

Afterwards, near vision can stay blurred and bright light can feel uncomfortable for around 4 to 6 hours, which makes driving unsafe. Please bring sunglasses and arrange a driver or travel companion. It also helps to bring your current glasses or lenses and any previous eye reports.

A first check in the preschool years is a sensible habit, and sooner if you notice an eye that turns in or out, frequent squinting, head tilting, regular eye rubbing, or sitting very close to screens. A family history of squint or strong glasses is another reason to come early.

Many childhood vision problems cause no complaint at all, so a check before school begins is wise. Our Pediatric Eye Care & Squint service is designed to be gentle and unhurried for young patients.

  • Wash and dry your hands before touching your lenses.
  • Follow the replacement schedule you were given, and never sleep in lenses unless you have been specifically advised to.
  • Use only fresh, recommended lens solution; never tap water, and replace the lens case regularly.
  • Remove your lenses and arrange a review if an eye becomes red, painful, unusually light-sensitive or blurred.

A proper fitting matters as much as good habits. Our Cornea & Contact Lens Fitting service tailors lenses to your eyes and your routine.

Laser vision correction suits some people and not others. Doctors typically look for a prescription that has been stable, healthy corneas of adequate thickness, good general eye health, and realistic expectations about the result.

Suitability is determined only after a full assessment, which includes detailed measurements of the cornea and a thorough eye examination. If LASIK is not right for you, other options within our LASIK & Refractive Surgery service may be discussed. Results vary between individuals and no outcome can be guaranteed.

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. Surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens implant. It is usually a short day-care procedure under local anaesthesia, and most people return home the same day.

Afterwards you will be given instructions for eye drops, protecting the eye, and avoiding rubbing, heavy lifting and dusty environments for a period, along with scheduled review visits. Recovery pace differs from person to person, and the choice of lens is discussed at your consultation.

Glaucoma slowly damages the optic nerve. In its common forms it causes no pain and no early change in central vision, while side vision fades gradually, so many people notice nothing until significant damage has occurred.

Damage that has already happened cannot be reversed, but early detection and regular follow-up can help protect the vision that remains. Pressure checks and optic nerve assessment are especially worthwhile if you are over 40 or have a family history of glaucoma, diabetes or high short-sightedness. Our Glaucoma Diagnosis & Management service provides this care.

Yes. Diabetes can affect the tiny blood vessels of the retina, often without any symptoms in the early stages. A dilated retinal examination at regular intervals, commonly at least once a year, allows changes to be found early, when they are easier to manage. Your own interval may differ.

Steady blood sugar and blood pressure, managed with your physician, also help protect your eyes. Please tell us promptly about sudden blurring, new floaters or a shadow in your vision. Our Retina & Diabetic Eye Care service looks after these needs.

Focusing on a screen tends to reduce how often we blink, which can leave eyes tired, dry or gritty and sometimes bring on headaches. Helpful habits include the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds), blinking fully, placing the screen slightly below eye level, and keeping your glasses prescription up to date.

If dryness, burning or watering is persistent, it is worth an assessment. Our Dry Eye & Ocular Surface Care service looks for the underlying cause rather than only easing symptoms.

Sudden loss of vision, a serious eye injury or severe eye pain needs urgent care: call 999 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.

Other warning signs that should not wait include a curtain or shadow spreading across your vision, a sudden shower of new floaters or flashes of light, and a chemical splash in the eye. For a chemical splash, rinse continuously with clean water while you get help.

For symptoms that are worrying but not urgent, book an appointment or message our team so we can advise you on the next step.

Our secure video consultation runs Saturday to Thursday, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and is best for follow-ups, reviewing your reports and seeking a second opinion. It saves travel and lets you ask questions from home.

It cannot replace an in-person examination. Eye pressure, the retina and the optic nerve cannot be assessed over video, so a first diagnosis needs an in-person dilated examination. If a video call shows you need one, we will let you know. The online consultation fee is ৳1,000.

  • Lumina Eye Hospital & Laser Centre, Banani: ৳1,500 for a new visit; ৳1,000 for a follow-up within 30 days.
  • Port City Vision Clinic, Chattogram: ৳1,200 for a new visit; ৳800 for a follow-up.
  • Online Video Consultation: ৳1,000.

To reschedule, please call or WhatsApp us on +880 1819-304718 as early as you can, so the time can be offered to another patient. Costs for any procedure are explained after a full assessment.

These answers offer general information only. Advice about your own eyes, and about whether a treatment is suitable for you, always follows a consultation and examination.
