Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Specialised in Medical Retina, Ocular Oncology, Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery

General Ophthalmology

Comprehensive Care

Comprehensive care for a wide range of eye conditions, including cataracts, refractive errors, and retinal diseases.

Cataract Surgery

Advanced Cataract Surgery

  • Removes the clouded lens (cataract) and replaces it with a clear artificial lens.

    Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options:

  • Monofocal Lenses: Provide clear vision at a single distance.
  • Multifocal and Extended Depth of Focus Lenses: Improve vision at multiple distances, reducing reliance on glasses.
  • Toric Lenses: Correct astigmatism for sharper vision.

Refractive Surgery

LASIK and PRK

  • Laser procedures to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
  • Reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses.

    Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs)

  • Provides permanent vision correction for patients unsuitable for laser surgery.
  • Ideal for those with higher refractive errors or thin corneas.

Medical Retina Services

Diabetic Retinopathy

  • A complication of diabetes that damages the retina and can lead to vision loss.

    Treatment Options:

  • Laser Therapy: Seals leaking blood vessels to prevent further damage.
  • Anti-VEGF Injections: Reduce swelling and block abnormal blood vessel growth.

    2. Retinal Vein Occlusion
  • A blockage in the retinal veins causing swelling and vision loss.
  • Treated with injections and laser therapy to restore retinal health.

    3. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
  • A leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50, affecting the macula (the retina’s central area).

    Types:

  • Dry AMD: Gradual vision loss, managed with dietary supplements and regular monitoring.
  • Wet AMD: Rapid vision loss caused by abnormal blood vessels, treated with anti-VEGF injections.
  • Early detection helps slow progression and preserve vision.

General Glaucoma Management

  • Regular monitoring of intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage.
  • Treatments include medications to lower eye pressure and laser therapies to improve fluid drainage and protect vision.
