Maintaining excellent eye health is important.Many eye health conditions can present rapidly and without symptoms.We strongly recommend prevention and early treatment where necessary, and pride ourselves in offering comprehensive diagnosis and management for a range of eye diseases. | |
Diabetic RetinopathyThrough regular eye examinations, and via dilated pupils with retinal photography and scans, early retinal changes can be detected. Diabetes can weaken blood vessels in the retina, leading to bleeding and vision loss if untreated. Early detection is essential. | CataractsWe monitor cataract development using slit lamp and other testing methods. A cataract causes the lens to become cloudy, resulting in blurred or hazy vision. | GlaucomaDetected using OCT scans, visual field testing and tonometry. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss without early treatment. | Macular DegenerationWe use retinal scans and imaging to monitor progression. This condition affects central vision and can cause distortion and loss of detail. |
Dry Eye DiseaseWe diagnose and manage dry eye using advanced technology. Symptoms include irritation, redness, burning, and watery or blurred vision. | PresbyopiaCorrected with glasses or contact lenses for near tasks. An age-related condition that reduces the ability to focus on close objects. | Foreign BodiesWe can locate and safely remove particles from the eye. Foreign objects can cause pain, redness, infection, and vision problems if untreated. |
