Treatment & Procedures

Orbit and Oculoplasty

Orbit and oculoplastic are two surgical subspecialties within ophthalmology. Orbit surgery involves procedures on the bones and tissues surrounding the eye, while oculoplastic surgery focuses on the eyelids, lacrimal (tear) ducts, and orbit. Orbit surgery is often performed to correct abnormalities of the eye socket, such as a sight-threatening condition…

YAG Lasers

YAG lasers are solid-state lasers that use Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) as the lasing medium. The YAG crystal is pumped with an external light source, typically a flash tube or laser diode, to create a population inversion between the crystal's electrons and holes.

Cataract surgery

Commonly found in older people, a cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that can cause blurry vision, faded colour and night blindness. Cataract surgery is a procedure done to remove the clouding and restore vision to normalcy. It is a fairly common procedure and is done with little to no complication in a majority of cases.

Neuro-ophthalmology

Neuro-ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that deals with the nervous system and the eye. It is a new field, only having been established in the early 20th century. Neuro Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who have special training in both neurology and ophthalmology. The nervous system is responsible for sending signals from the brain to the rest…

DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy)

A dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure to open a blocked tear duct. The tear duct drains tears from the eye into the nose. A blocked tear duct can cause tears to build up in the eye and can lead to infections. During a DCR, the surgeon makes a small incision in the side of the nose. They then create a new opening between the tear duct…

DCT (Dacryocystectomy)

A dacryocystectomy (DCT) is a surgical procedure to remove the lacrimal sac. This sac is located at the junction of the tear duct and the nose. The lacrimal sac stores tears that are produced by the lacrimal gland. Tears drain from the eye through the tear duct and into the lacrimal sac. From the lacrimal sac, tears drain through the nasolacrimal duct…

Medical Retina

The retina is the innermost layer of the eye that is responsible for vision. It is a thin sheet of nerve tissue that lines the back of the eye and converts light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The retina contains two types of light-sensitive cells, rods, and cones, which are responsible for night vision and colour vision, respectively.…

UVR (Ultraviolet Radiation)

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength in the range of 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays. It is present in sunlight constituting about 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun. It is also produced by electric arcs and specialized lights, such as mercury-vapor…

Globally, over 2 billion have impaired vision or some kind of blindness, out of which at least 1 billion cases could have been prevented with medical intervention. The major causes of impaired vision across the globe are refractive errors and cataracts which have been left untreated. Most vision impairment cases are among people who are above 50 years of age.
