General Ophthalmology
and Medical Eye Care Guidance
We provide expert care for a wide range of eye concerns, offering medical treatment, monitoring and personalised guidance.
From minor irritations to chronic eye diseases, you will receive clear explanations and a care plan that suits your needs.
Routine Eye Examinations
Routine eye examinations help detect vision changes early, ensure your eyes stay healthy and allow your doctor to identify concerns long before symptoms appear. During your check-up, your vision is tested, your eye pressure is measured, and the overall health of the front and back of your eyes is assessed. These examinations are recommended every 1 to 2 years, or sooner if you notice changes in your vision.
Children’s Eye Evaluations
Children rely heavily on clear vision for learning, reading and development. A children’s eye evaluation checks how the eyes focus, move and work together, and screens for common childhood concerns such as squints, lazy eye and refractive errors. These assessments are gentle and age-appropriate, done with child-friendly tools and simple tests. Early detection helps prevent long-term vision problems, so these evaluations are recommended if a child struggles at school, squints often, rubs their eyes, or complains of headaches.
Comprehensive Eye Care Services
We provide diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care for a wide range of eye conditions, ensuring personalised, professional support tailored to your needs.
Cataract Assessment and Surgery
Cataracts cause cloudy or blurry vision when the natural lens of the eye becomes opaque. A cataract assessment includes a full vision test and measurement of the eye to plan surgery if needed. Treatment involves cataract surgery, a quick day-procedure where the clouded lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens. Visit the full page to learn about symptoms, lens options and recovery.
Glaucoma Testing and Management
Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to high eye pressure. Testing includes pressure measurement, visual field testing and scans of the optic nerve. Management may involve eye drops, laser treatment or surgery to protect vision. Because glaucoma has few early symptoms, regular testing is essential. Visit the full page for a detailed explanation of risk factors and treatment options.
Diabetic Retinopathy Screening and Treatment
Diabetic retinopathy affects the blood vessels at the back of the eye and is common in patients with diabetes. Screening involves a detailed examination as well as retinal scans (OCT’s) or retinal photographs. Treatment depends on severity and may include laser therapy, injections or monitoring. Early detection is key to preventing vision loss. Visit the full page to learn about stages, warning signs and long-term care.
Strabismus (Squint) Assessment and Management
Strabismus occurs when the eyes do not align properly. Assessment includes measuring the type and extent of the misalignment and evaluating how well the eyes work together. Treatment may include glasses, patching, or surgery depending on the cause. Visit the full page for a look at symptoms, treatment paths and when to seek help.
Pterygium Treatment
A pterygium is a growth on the white part of the eye that can cause redness, irritation and blurry vision. Treatment options range from lubricating drops to surgical removal when the growth affects comfort or vision. Visit the full page for more details on causes, prevention and what to expect during treatment.
Red or Irritated Eyes
Red or irritated eyes can be caused by allergies, infections, dryness or inflammation. An examination helps identify the exact cause so the correct treatment can be started, whether that includes drops, medication or further testing. Visit the full page for guidance on common causes and when redness may indicate a more serious problem.
