Cataracts
Clear the path to clearer vision: Cataracts, a common eye condition, cloud the lens, affecting eyesight. Trust us for expert care in treating both regular and complex cataracts, including specialized solutions for cases where previously done cataract surgery needs further correction.
Ocular Imaging
See beyond the surface: Our ocular imaging captures intricate details of your optic nerve and retina, including advanced services like B- scan ultrasound and fluorescein angiography.
Glaucoma
Protect your sight from silent threats: Glaucoma, often unnoticed until it’s too late, damages the optic nerve, leading to vision loss. Our comprehensive care includes effective treatments like drops and laser therapy to preserve your vision
Macular Degeneration
Preserve your central vision: Macular degeneration, a common retina condition, leads to blurry or distorted vision. Trust our retina expertise for personalized care and advanced treatments, including intravitreal injections, to safeguard your sight
Dry Eyes & Blepharitis
Combat discomfort at its source: Dry eyes and blepharitis are common culprits behind eye and eyelid inflammation. From prescribed drops to punctal plugs and antibiotics, we comprehensively address these conditions for lasting comfort and eye health.
Eye Toxicity From Medications
Protect your eyes from medication side effects: Common drugs like Plaquenil and Tamoxifen among others can cause eye and more specifically retina toxicity. Consult with our retina specialist for precise diagnosis and tailored treatment.
