Areas of Specialization
Comprehensive sub-speciality expertise integrating functional precision, modern technique, and reconstructive care.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract is one of the most common causes of reduced vision. Dr. Kuli's practice draws on training in both Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) and phacoemulsification — the two established surgical approaches for removing a clouded lens and implanting an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Having training in both techniques allows the approach to be matched to what suits a patient's eye best.
- Modern Phacoemulsification
- Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS)
- Tailored Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implant
Anterior Segment & Comprehensive Care
Covers comprehensive eye care and a range of anterior segment conditions affecting the front of the eye and eyelids. Includes surgical management for pterygium (fleshy growth), entropion (inward-turning eyelid), and tear-drainage system disorders treated with lacrimal procedures like DCT and DCR.
- Pterygium & Entropion Correction
- Lacrimal Procedures (DCT & DCR)
- Comprehensive Front-Eye Care
Surgical Expertise
Dr. Liza Kuli specializes in advanced cataract surgeries and key anterior segment procedures, providing focused surgical care tailored to each patient's specific eye condition.
Specialized Surgical Care & Procedures
CATARACT SURGERY (SICS & PHACOEMULSIFICATION)
What it is: Surgical removal of a clouded natural lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) using SICS or phacoemulsification.
Why you may need it: Age-related or early cataracts causing blurred, dim, or hazy vision interfering with daily activities.
Dr. Kuli's Expertise: Dedicated fellowship training in both SICS and phacoemulsification to match the best technique to each patient's eye.
PTERYGIUM SURGERY
What it is: Removal of a pterygium — a fleshy growth of tissue on the white of the eye that can extend onto the cornea.
Why you may need it: Growth causing irritation, redness, cosmetic concern, or risk of encroaching on the cornea and affecting vision.
Dr. Kuli's Expertise: Precise surgical excision performed as part of routine anterior segment practice.
ENTROPION CORRECTION
What it is: Surgical correction of entropion, a condition where the eyelid turns inward, causing eyelashes to rub against the eye.
Why you may need it: Persistent irritation, redness, or risk of corneal damage caused by inward-turning eyelashes.
Dr. Kuli's Expertise: Targeted surgical correction to restore normal eyelid position and protect the eye surface.
DCT & DCR (LACRIMAL SURGERY)
What it is: Procedures for the tear-drainage system — DCR creates a new drainage channel, while DCT removes the tear sac when indicated.
Why you may need it: Chronic eye watering, recurrent infection, or inner corner swelling from a blocked tear duct.
Dr. Kuli's Expertise: Specialized management of lacrimal drainage conditions within comprehensive anterior segment care.
Schedule Your Consultation: If you are experiencing vision changes, tear duct issues, or eyelid discomfort, consult Dr. Liza Kuli for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan at Drishti Netralaya, Dibrugarh.

Patient Care & Comprehensive Services
Focused on thorough examination, tailored surgical techniques, and accessible multi-specialty eye care at Drishti Netralaya, Dibrugarh.
Approach to Patient Care
Centres on a thorough eye examination before recommending treatment. For cataract surgery, she assesses whether SICS or phacoemulsification is best suited to the individual eye. For anterior segment and lacrimal issues, she identifies the underlying cause of irritation, redness, or watering to ensure clear patient understanding.
Anterior Segment Importance
Conditions like pterygium, entropion, and tear-duct blockages cause ongoing discomfort and can affect vision if left untreated. Handling cataract, general eye care, and anterior segment procedures together allows complete treatment under one roof without needing separate referrals.

Both are techniques for removing a cataract and implanting an artificial lens. Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) uses a slightly larger, self-sealing incision, while phacoemulsification uses ultrasound energy through a smaller incision. Dr. Kuli is trained in both and selects the technique suited to each patient's eye.
A pterygium is a fleshy growth on the white of the eye that can extend onto the cornea, causing irritation or affecting vision if untreated. Dr. Kuli performs surgical removal of pterygium as part of her anterior segment practice.
Entropion is a condition where the eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye's surface. Dr. Kuli performs surgical correction to reposition the eyelid and protect the eye.
DCR, or dacryocystorhinostomy, is a surgical procedure that creates a new drainage pathway for tears when the natural tear duct is blocked, commonly used to treat chronic watering or recurrent infection near the inner corner of the eye.
Yes. Alongside cataract and anterior segment surgery, Dr. Kuli's practice covers comprehensive eye care for routine ophthalmic concerns.
