Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced technology like OCT imaging and non-mydriatic fundus cameras to assess vision clarity, eye health, and detect conditions like glaucoma. The process includes visual acuity testing, refraction analysis, and retinal imaging. Regular exams help maintain optimal vision and prevent complications from undiagnosed eye diseases.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialized dry eye management combines IPL therapy with personalized treatment plans to improve tear production and reduce discomfort. Our optometrists diagnose underlying causes using the OCULUS Keratograph 5M for precise analysis. Treatments focus on long-term relief and enhancing ocular surface health through advanced techniques.
Myopia Management
We offer evidence-based myopia control solutions including MiSight contact lenses, MiYOSMART spectacle lenses, and atropine drops. Our programs target children and adults to slow progression and reduce risks of severe eye conditions. Regular follow-ups ensure treatment effectiveness and adapt to changing vision needs.
Foreign Body Removal
Emergency foreign body removal uses specialized instruments to safely extract particles like metal or wood from the eye. The procedure includes post-removal care to prevent infection and inflammation. Our optometrists prioritize immediate intervention to protect vision and ensure proper healing after ocular trauma.
Paediatric Eye Care
Customized eye exams for children assess visual development, focusing ability, and potential learning-related vision issues. We use behavioral optometry techniques to detect problems affecting reading and learning. Early intervention programs support healthy visual development and academic performance through specialized testing methods.
