Poona Udawat Memorial Eye Hospital

Poona Udawat Memorial Eye Hospital is over at A-93 in Shyamnagar, right on Shiv Mg. It’s a specialized place, so we don't do general medicine, just eyes. Whether someone needs a new pair of glasses or something more complicated like surgery, they end up here. The building isn't huge, but we’ve managed to fit in the testing equipment and a small waiting area. It’s a memorial hospital, so it has a bit of history to its name. People from around Shyamnagar know us well. The morning light hits the waiting room pretty hard, but we have blinds for that. Our days are spent looking at charts and through those machines that check your vision. It’s quiet work mostly, compared to a big general hospital. The staff here knows their way around an eyeball, and that’s about all we talk about. We aren't trying to be the biggest clinic in Pune, just a reliable one for the local residents. Sometimes the schedule gets backed up if an exam takes longer than expected, but people are generally patient. We don't have a fancy coffee shop or anything. You just come in, get your eyes checked, and go home. It’s a simple, straightforward operation that’s been running on Shiv Mg for a good while now. We just focus on eyes and leave the rest of the medical stuff to the bigger hospitals.
