In our Department of Ophthalmology, we provide comprehensive eye care for all ages, ranging from routine vision checks to complex surgery. Our ophthalmologists diagnose and treat cataracts, glaucoma, corneal disease (including transplants), retinal disorders, paediatric eye problems, and eye injuries or infections. In addition to advanced diagnostics, such as slit-lamp exams, OCT, perimetry, and imaging, we offer proven treatments such as phacoemulsification, ICLs, retinal and glaucoma surgery, as well as oculoplastic and lacrimal procedures. Care is coordinated with other specialties for safe peri-operative support and rehabilitation, and our clinics and theatres are equipped for day-case and inpatient procedures.
