Services
Myopia Management
Our myopia management program addresses shortsightedness progression through specialised lenses, low-dose atropine therapy, and lifestyle modifications. We utilise evidence-based approaches including multifocal contact lenses and peripheral defocus control technology. This service is particularly beneficial for children experiencing myopic progression, combining clinical expertise with ongoing monitoring to slow axial elongation of the eye while maintaining clear vision.
Dry Eye Clinic
Our dry eye specialists provide comprehensive assessment and customised treatment plans using advanced diagnostic tools. We offer lid hygiene protocols, therapeutic anti-inflammatory agents, and meibomian gland expression techniques. This service addresses both evaporative and aqueous-deficient dry eye conditions through a combination of ocular surface analysis, tear film assessment, and tailored management strategies including punctal plugs and specialised contact lenses.
Macular Imaging
We employ state-of-the-art optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detailed macular analysis. Our diagnostic suite includes angioplex imaging for vascular assessment and retinal nerve fibre layer analysis. This service enables early detection and monitoring of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other posterior segment conditions through non-invasive, high-resolution imaging techniques.
Vision Training
Our binocular vision assessment program identifies coordination issues affecting reading and learning. We provide customised vision training programs to improve eye teaming, tracking, and focusing abilities. This service includes perceptual assessment and therapeutic interventions for conditions like strabismus and amblyopia, particularly beneficial for children experiencing academic difficulties related to visual processing.
Specialised Contact Lens Fitting
We specialise in complex contact lens fittings for irregular corneas including keratoconus and post-trauma cases. Our fitting process utilises corneal topography to create customised solutions using scleral lenses and hybrid designs. This service addresses challenging visual corrections through advanced lens technology, ensuring both comfort and optimal visual acuity for patients with complex refractive needs.
