Other treatments in this speciality
Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification)

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.
LASIK
A laser reshapes the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, reducing or removing the need for glasses.
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.
