A cataract is a condition that causes clouding of the eye’s lens. Poor vision results due this cloudiness interfering with light entering the eye. Cataract surgery is one of the most common and most effective types of treatment available, which removes the natural cloudy lens and replaces it, with a clear artificial permanent lens.
Glaucoma refers to a number of disease process that lead to damage of the optic nerve. Typically, glaucoma is associated with elevated pressure inside the eye. The main aim of treatment is to prevent vision loss by lowering intraocular pressure.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness. People aged over 50 years are at greatest risk and regular eye examinations are crucial for early detection. Early treatments are effective to slow or even stop the progression of this condition.
People with diabetes are at risk of diabetic retinopathy because small blood vessels in the retina may become diseased and damaged. The longer a person has diabetes, the greater the risk of diabetic retinopathy. Available treatments can slow or prevent further vision loss.
Paediatric ophthalmologists focus on the development of the visual system and the various diseases that disrupt normal visual development in children. There are many eye health issues prevalent in children and early diagnosis and treatments are crucial.
Oculoplastics refers to surgical procedures relating to the eye socket, eyelid and tear ducts, which treat conditions such as droopy eyelids, tumours and blocked tear ducts. A number of treatments are available depending on condition.
Pterygium is a common condition for people that spend a lot of time in sunny and windy outdoor conditions. It is an overgrowth of tissue affecting the conjunctiva (skin) of the eye. Treatments include eye drops which help relieve symptoms.
Ocular oncology is the comprehensive care and treatments for tumours of the eye. Treatments are dependent on the type of cancer and location.
