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.
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.
Pterygium Surgery
The pterygium is removed and the area covered with a small graft of conjunctiva from the same eye to reduce recurrence.
