Our Ophthalmology Services

Comprehensive Eye Consultation

A comprehensive eye consultation helps evaluate vision concerns, discomfort, redness, watering, headaches related to vision, age-related changes, and chronic eye conditions.

During consultation, the ophthalmologist may assess:

  • Vision clarity
  • Refractive error
  • Eye pressure
  • Cornea and anterior segment
  • Retina and optic nerve
  • Eye redness or pain
  • Dryness or allergy symptoms
  • Cataract-related vision changes
  • Diabetic or hypertension-related eye concerns
  • Need for further investigations, medicines, laser, or surgery

The aim is to identify the cause of the concern and plan suitable treatment or follow-up.

Cataract Evaluation and Surgery

Cataract can cause cloudy vision, glare, difficulty reading, poor night vision, and reduced quality of life.

Our ophthalmologists provide diagnosis and surgical management of cataract, including:

  • Cataract evaluation
  • Conventional cataract surgery
  • Small incision cataract surgery
  • Phacoemulsification cataract surgery
  • Post-cataract follow-up
  • Management of selected post-cataract concerns

Surgery is advised based on the patient’s symptoms, vision needs, examination findings, eye health, and doctor’s assessment.

Glaucoma Care

Glaucoma can gradually affect vision and may progress silently if not detected early.

Glaucoma evaluation may include:

  • Eye pressure assessment
  • Optic nerve evaluation
  • Visual field testing
  • Gonioscopy where required
  • Retinal and optic nerve assessment
  • Medical or surgical treatment planning
  • Long-term monitoring

Early diagnosis and regular follow-up are important for preserving vision.

Retina and Uvea Care

The department provides evaluation and treatment support for retinal and inflammatory eye conditions.

This may include care for:

  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Age-related retinal concerns
  • Retinal disorders
  • Uveitis
  • Floaters or flashes of light
  • Sudden or progressive vision changes
  • Inflammatory eye conditions

Care is planned based on examination, retinal evaluation, imaging support where required, and clinical findings.

Paediatric Eye Care

Children may need eye evaluation for vision, alignment, cataract, watering, frequent eye rubbing, or school-related visual difficulty.

Paediatric eye care may support children with:

  • Squint
  • Paediatric cataract
  • Refractive errors
  • Lazy eye concerns
  • Frequent rubbing of eyes
  • Watering
  • Eye redness

Early detection can help prevent avoidable long-term visual difficulty.

This may include:

  • Ptosis
  • Chalazion
  • Eyelid cysts
  • Dermoids
  • Pterygium
  • Lid repair
  • Anterior segment disorders

Surgery or procedures are advised only where clinically required.

Laser and Post-Cataract Care

Some patients may require laser procedures after cataract surgery or for selected eye conditions.

Laser support may include:

  • Nd:YAG laser for after-cataract management
  • Peripheral iridectomy where clinically indicated
  • Other laser procedures based on diagnosis and doctor assessment

The need for laser treatment is decided after a detailed eye examination.

Diagnostic and Specialised Investigations

Accurate diagnosis is central to effective eye care.

Depending on the patient’s symptoms and clinical need, investigations may include:

  • Refraction testing
  • Slit-lamp examination
  • Direct ophthalmoscopy
  • Indirect ophthalmoscopy
  • Applanation tonometry
  • Indentation tonometry
  • Gonioscopy
  • Keratometry
  • Perimetry
  • A-scan ultrasound
  • Specular microscopy
  • Retinal evaluation
  • Nd:YAG laser support where required

These investigations help assess vision, eye pressure, retina, optic nerve, cornea, lens, and anterior segment conditions.

Surgical Expertise

Our ophthalmologists are experienced in a range of eye procedures, including:

  • Cataract surgery
  • Phacoemulsification cataract surgery
  • Small incision cataract surgery
  • Glaucoma surgery
  • Pterygium surgery
  • Chalazion surgery
  • Cyst and dermoid removal
  • Lid repair
  • Ptosis surgery
  • Paediatric cataract surgery
  • Laser procedures for selected eye conditions

The decision for surgery is made after clinical evaluation, discussion of treatment options, and explanation of risks, benefits, recovery, and follow-up needs.

Coordinated Care with Other Specialities

Eye conditions may sometimes be linked with diabetes, hypertension, neurological concerns, paediatric conditions, autoimmune conditions, trauma, or age-related health issues.

Our Ophthalmology team may coordinate with:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Diabetes and Endocrinology
  • Paediatrics
  • Neurology
  • Rheumatology
  • Imaging and Diagnostics
  • Emergency services
  • Surgery and anaesthesia teams where required

This helps provide comprehensive care when eye concerns are connected to broader health conditions.
