Medical Disclaimer

The condition, treatment, test and blog pages on this website are written to help patients understand common eye and orthopaedic problems in plain language. They describe how conditions usually behave and how they are generally managed. They cannot account for your age, medical history, medication, imaging findings or examination results, and are therefore not advice about your individual case.

Never delay seeking medical advice, disregard advice you have been given, or start, stop or change a medicine or exercise programme because of something you read here. Symptoms of very different conditions can look alike — for example, blurred vision may come from a cataract, a refractive change, dry eye, glaucoma or a retinal problem, and knee pain may come from arthritis, a ligament tear or referred spinal pain. Only an examination can distinguish them.

This website and its forms are not monitored round the clock and must not be used for emergencies. Seek immediate hospital care for sudden vision loss, eye injury or chemical exposure, severe eye pain with redness and vomiting, a suspected fracture or dislocation, a wound with heavy bleeding, sudden weakness or numbness in a limb, or loss of bladder or bowel control with back pain.

Recovery timelines, surgical outcomes, visual results and return-to-activity estimates mentioned on this website are typical ranges reported in clinical practice. Your outcome depends on your diagnosis, general health, the stage at which treatment is started and your adherence to post-treatment advice. Patient testimonials and reviews published here describe individual experiences and are not a promise of a similar result.

Some anatomical and clinical images are illustrative and are used to explain a condition or procedure. They are not photographs of a specific patient's eye or joint and should not be used for self-diagnosis.

Clinical content on this website is prepared for the clinic and reviewed by our treating specialists — Dr. Dipti V. Murkute (Pansare) for eye care content and Dr. Vishal I. Murkute for orthopaedic content. Pages are updated as clinical practice changes. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or out of date, please write to frontdesk.o2bec@gmail.com so we can review it.

To the extent permitted by law, Dr. Murkute's O2 Bone & Eye Care Clinic and its doctors accept no liability for any decision taken, or loss suffered, on the basis of information published on this website. Care given at the clinic is governed by the consent, counselling and documentation completed at the time of your treatment.
