Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with advanced intraocular lenses. Our specialists use precision techniques to restore clear vision for patients affected by age-related cataracts. With options including monofocal, toric, and multifocal lenses, we tailor solutions to individual visual needs while maintaining exceptional safety standards.
Laser Vision Correction
Laser vision correction offers permanent independence from glasses and contact lenses. We provide SMILE, LASIK, and PRK procedures using cutting-edge femtosecond and excimer laser platforms. Customised treatments address myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism through wavefront-guided planning and corneal topography analysis for optimal visual outcomes.
Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma management prevents irreversible vision loss through early detection and targeted treatment. Our specialists employ advanced diagnostic tools like OCT and visual field testing to monitor optic nerve health. Treatment options include medicated drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery tailored to disease severity.
Retinal Surgery
Retinal surgery addresses conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments. We perform intravitreal injections, vitrectomies, and laser treatments using specialised microsurgical equipment. Fellowship-trained retinal specialists focus on preserving vision through evidence-based interventions and comprehensive post-operative care.
Macular Degeneration Treatment
Macular degeneration treatment slows progression of age-related vision loss through targeted therapies. Our specialists use anti-VEGF injections and advanced imaging techniques to monitor disease activity. Personalised management plans incorporate lifestyle modifications and nutritional advice to support long-term retinal health and visual function.

Report
This new clinic is bright and very modern, its easily accessible with a ramp for the disabled and car parking is a breeze. The staff are super-efficient and very personable. I was delighted to find that the treatment process went effortlessly from one phase to the next which resulted in minimum time delay. I presented myself at 9-00AM for Dr Edward Roufail and after a series of tests was ready to leave at 10-0AM. Past treatments at another location often extended beyond two hours so this new centre is vastly more efficient. Highly recommend the new centre and the services of Doctor Edward Roufail
