Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery utilises modern phacoemulsification techniques with foldable intraocular lens implants. We offer comprehensive pre-operative assessment including ocular biometry and corneal topography. Patients receive detailed guidance on surgical timing, post-operative care, and potential visual outcomes, with options for monofocal, toric, and multifocal lens implants to suit individual visual needs.
Glaucoma Management
We provide complete glaucoma care from early detection through to advanced treatment. Diagnostic assessments include tonometry, optic nerve evaluation, and visual field testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to laser procedures like selective laser trabeculoplasty and surgical interventions including trabeculectomy and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery for uncontrolled cases.
Medical Retina
Our retinal specialists manage conditions like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusions. We offer intravitreal injections, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography for precise diagnosis. Treatment plans focus on preserving vision through evidence-based interventions including anti-VEGF therapy and laser photocoagulation for advanced retinal pathologies.
Vitreoretinal Surgery
We perform vitrectomy procedures for complex retinal conditions including macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and vitreous haemorrhage. Our surgical team uses 27-gauge instrumentation for minimally invasive approaches. The service includes management of retinal detachments through scleral buckling and pneumatic retinopexy, with comprehensive post-operative monitoring to ensure optimal anatomical and visual outcomes.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our diagnostic suite features optical coherence tomography, fundus photography, and visual field analysers. We perform fluorescein angiography for retinal vascular assessment and A/B scan ultrasonography for opaque media cases. Corneal topography supports accurate refractive error analysis and pre-operative planning for cataract surgery with toric intraocular lenses.
