Top Procedures and Treatments
Types of Ophthalmology Diseases Treated
Cataracts
Cataracts cause clouding of the lens, leading to blurred vision, glare, and
difficulty seeing at night. Our expert team offers effective lens removal and replacement procedures to restore your vision.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often resulting in irreversible blindness if untreated. We manage this condition with medications and surgical procedures to prevent vision loss
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting central vision. We offer treatments including medications, injections, and lifestyle adjustments to slow disease progression.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the retina due to diabetes. We employ treatments like laser surgery and injections to help preserve your vision, which is critical for managing diabetes.
Retinal detachment
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina peels away, risking permanent vision loss. Our team provides immediate surgical intervention to reattach the retina and preserve your sight.
Strabismus
Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes, treatable with exercises, corrective glasses, or surgery. Early intervention is crucial to prevent long-term vision problems.
Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis causes redness and discomfort due to inflammation of the eye's clear tissue. We treat this condition effectively with medication to alleviate symptoms and prevent its spread.
Dry eye syndrome
Dry eye syndrome causes discomfort and vision disturbances. We offer treatments including medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes light therapy to relieve your symptoms.
Corneal Diseases
We treat conditions like keratoconus, which distorts vision, using corrective lenses, corneal transplants, or cross-linking procedures.
Uveitis Uveitis
Uveitis Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea that can cause pain, redness, and vision issues. Prompt treatment with steroids and other medications is essential to preserving your vision.
Optic neuropathy
Optic neuropathy involves damage to the optic nerve, often causing sudden vision loss. Treatment focuses on addressing underlying causes to halt or reverse vision loss.
Refractive Errors
Refractive errors, such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, significantly improving your quality of life.
