Treatment & Procedures
Cataract surgery
Cataracts clog the eye's lens, causing impaired vision, eventually leading to blindness if left untreated. It is a popular and very effective method to remove cataracts. An intraocular lens (IOL), a clear artificial lens, is inserted in place of the clouded lens during the procedure. This is usually done under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis…

FAQ's
Ophthalmology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders of the eye and visual system. Ophthalmologists are trained to provide comprehensive eye care, including surgeries, laser treatments, and corrective procedures like LASIK.
Ophthalmologists treat a wide range of conditions, including cataracts (clouding of the eye's lens), glaucoma, macular degeneration (deterioration of the central retina), diabetic retinopathy (damage to blood vessels in the retina due to diabetes), and refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. They also manage eye infections, dry eyes, eyelid disorders, and paediatric eye conditions.
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition characterised by increased intraocular pressure that damages the optic nerve, potentially leading to vision loss or blindness if untreated. It often has no early symptoms but can cause peripheral vision loss, eye pain, and headaches in later stages. Regular eye exams and early detection are crucial for managing glaucoma and preserving vision.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurred or cloudy vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing at night. Risk factors include ageing, diabetes, prolonged sun exposure, and certain medications. Cataracts can be surgically removed and replaced with an artificial lens through a safe and effective procedure.
Consult an ophthalmologist if you experience sudden or persistent vision changes, eye pain, redness, swelling, double vision, flashes of light, or floating spots. Symptoms like eye strain, frequent headaches, and difficulty reading can also indicate vision problems. Regular eye check-ups are recommended for adults and more frequently for those with risk factors or chronic conditions.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. It can cause vision loss, blurred vision, floaters, and eventually blindness if not managed properly. People with diabetes should have annual eye exams to monitor for diabetic retinopathy and other eye complications.
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease affecting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. It can cause blurred or distorted vision, dark or empty spots in the central vision, and difficulty recognising faces or reading. Early detection and treatment can slow the progression and preserve the remaining vision
Diagnostic tests may include visual acuity tests, refraction tests, Intraocular Pressure Measurement (Tonometry), slit-lamp examination, Fundus Photography, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and Fluorescein Angiography to assess the health and function of the eyes, detect eye diseases, and plan appropriate treatment.
Treatments for squint may include eye exercises, corrective lenses (glasses or contact lenses), Patching Therapy, and surgical procedures to align the eyes properly and improve binocular vision. Early intervention is important for children to prevent vision problems and eye muscle imbalance.
For adults, a comprehensive eye exam is recommended every 1-2 years, or more frequently if you have risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of eye diseases, or age-related conditions. Children should have their first eye exam by age 3, followed by regular check-ups as recommended by their eye doctor.
Contact lenses are safe when prescribed and used correctly. Proper hygiene, lens care, and regular check-ups with an eye care professional are essential to prevent eye infections, corneal ulcers, and other complications. It's important to follow the recommended wearing schedule and replace lenses as advised.
Children can develop eye conditions such as lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), refractive errors, eye infections, and congenital eye disorders. Paediatric eye exams are important for early detection, timely intervention, and optimal vision development. Parents should watch for signs of vision problems like squinting, rubbing eyes, holding objects close to their eyes, and avoiding near or distant tasks.
Dry eyes can result from various factors, including conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome. However, the predominant cause in today's digital age is increased screen time and dysfunction of the meibomian glands, which produce oil for our eyes. Treating dry eyes often involves using lubricating eye drops and warm compresses. In more severe cases, punctal plugs or Laser treatments may be recommended.
