Other treatments in this speciality
Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification)
The cloudy lens is broken up with ultrasound through a tiny incision and replaced with a clear artificial lens (IOL). Stitches are usually not needed.
Glaucoma Surgery
A new drainage pathway is created (trabeculectomy) or a drainage device inserted to lower eye pressure when drops or laser are not enough.
SMILE Laser Vision Correction
A femtosecond laser creates a thin lens-shaped piece of tissue inside the cornea which is removed through a small incision, correcting myopia without a flap.
ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)
A thin lens is implanted inside the eye in front of the natural lens to correct high spectacle powers, especially where laser surgery isn't suitable.
Pterygium Surgery
The pterygium is removed and the area covered with a small graft of conjunctiva from the same eye to reduce recurrence.
Retina Laser (Photocoagulation)
Laser burns are applied to the retina to seal leaking vessels or reduce abnormal vessel growth in diabetic retinopathy and other retinal conditions.
