Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced micro-incision cataract surgery utilizes premium intraocular lenses for optimal visual outcomes. The procedure addresses clouded lenses while offering refractive error correction. Patients benefit from minimally invasive techniques that enable faster recovery and improved quality of vision compared to traditional methods.
Glaucoma Management
We provide comprehensive glaucoma care including early detection through OCT imaging and visual field testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to laser therapy and minimally invasive surgical procedures. Our approach focuses on preserving optic nerve function and preventing vision loss through personalized management plans.
Retinal Treatments
Specialized retinal services include angiography, OCT imaging, and laser therapy for conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Our vitreoretinal specialists perform complex surgeries for retinal detachments and macular holes using state-of-the-art microsurgical equipment to restore and preserve vision.
Diabetic Eye Assessment
Comprehensive diabetic eye evaluations detect early signs of retinopathy through dilated fundus examinations and retinal imaging. We monitor vascular changes in the retina and provide timely interventions to prevent vision-threatening complications. Patients receive coordinated care with their diabetes management teams for optimal outcomes.
Dry Eye Management
Our IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy addresses meibomian gland dysfunction causing chronic dry eye. The treatment improves tear film stability by reducing eyelid inflammation and enhancing oil secretion. Combined with customized lubrication regimens, this approach provides long-term relief for moderate to severe dry eye symptoms.
