Ophthalmology focuses on vision and eye health, offering diagnosis and treatment for cataracts, glaucoma, retinal diseases, and refractive vision problems.

In ophthalmology, diagnosis is not just about reading letters on a wall. The human eye is a biological masterpiece of optics, and treating it requires engineering-level precision. At Liv Hospital, we believe that 90% of a successful surgery happens before you ever enter the operating room.
Our “High-Tech Vision Lab” is equipped with the latest diagnostic devices from global leaders like Zeiss, Oculus, and Alcon. We do not just measure your prescription; we map the entire landscape of your eye—from the curvature of the cornea to the thickness of the retina—down to the micrometer. For our international patients, this comprehensive evaluation is the “Green Light” that determines whether you are a safe candidate for iLASIK, SMILE, or Smart Lens implantation.
A standard eye exam at an optician checks your visual acuity. A medical eye exam at Liv Hospital checks the biological health of the entire visual system.
We start with the basics but with higher precision.
This is the ophthalmologist’s primary tool. It is a high-powered microscope with a bright slit of light that allows the doctor to see the structures of the front of the eye in 3D.
High eye pressure is the main risk factor for glaucoma. We use Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, the gold standard for accuracy. It gently touches the anesthetized surface of the eye to measure resistance.
If you are considering laser eye surgery (iLASIK, SMILE) or premium cataract surgery, the Pentacam® HR is the most critical test you will undergo.
What does it do? It uses a rotating Scheimpflug camera to take 25,000 to 138,000 distinct elevation points of the cornea in just 2 seconds.
Why is it vital?
Retinal diseases often hide beneath the surface. OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) uses light waves instead of sound waves to take cross-section images of the retina.

For patients choosing Trifocal (Smart) Intraocular Lenses, the power of the lens must be calculated perfectly. A difference of just 1 millimeter in measurement can result in needing glasses after surgery.
This test maps your peripheral (side) vision. It is subjective, meaning it requires your input.
How it works: You look into a white bowl-shaped device. Small lights flash at different intensities in your side vision. You press a button every time you see a light.
For patients with diabetes or vascular eye diseases, seeing the blood vessels is crucial.
The Procedure:
What it reveals: Leaking vessels (in diabetic retinopathy), blockages (occlusions), and abnormal new vessel growth (neovascularization) that needs laser treatment.
The endothelium is the innermost layer of the cornea. These cells pump fluid out of the cornea to keep it clear. They do not regenerate.
Why we test it: Before any intraocular surgery (like ICL or Cataract), we must ensure you have enough healthy endothelial cells. If the count is too low (Fuchs’ Dystrophy), standard surgery could cause the cornea to swell and become cloudy permanently.
Dry eye is complex. We don’t just give you drops; we find the cause.
For our guests traveling from abroad, time is limited. We have streamlined the diagnostic process into a “Same-Day Pre-Op Protocol”:
Vision is irreplaceable, and entrusting your eyesight to a medical provider is a significant decision. At Liv Hospital, the Ophthalmology Department represents the convergence of world-class medical expertise and cutting-edge optical technology. We are dedicated to providing a holistic patient experience, ensuring that every individual receives a customized treatment plan designed to protect and enhance their vision for a lifetime.
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine focused on the anatomy, function, and diseases of the eye. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in total eye care. They perform eye exams, diagnose diseases, prescribe medications and glasses, and perform surgical operations to treat eye conditions.
Eye operations treat a vast range of conditions. The most common include cataracts (cloudy lenses), glaucoma (high eye pressure), and refractive errors (need for glasses). They also treat retinal detachments, corneal diseases, eyelid problems, and crossed eyes (strabismus).
The main types include cataract surgery (lens replacement), refractive surgery (like LASIK), and glaucoma surgery (pressure reduction). Other major types are vitrectomy (retina repair), corneal transplants, and oculoplastic surgery (eyelid and tear duct repair).
You should see an eye surgeon if you experience sudden vision loss, eye pain, flashes of light, or physical injury to the eye. You should also see one if you have a chronic disease like diabetes, or if your regular eye doctor (optometrist) detects a problem that requires surgical evaluation.
The main difference is their training and scope of practice. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor licensed to perform surgery and treat all eye diseases. An optometrist provides primary vision care, such as testing vision and prescribing corrections, but generally does not perform surgery.
