Ophthalmology

The eye is a complex organ, and “general” ophthalmology is no longer enough. Our department is divided into specialized units to treat specific structures of the eye.

Retina and Macula Unit

The retina is the “film” of the camera. Damage here is often irreversible if not treated quickly.

• Diabetic Retinopathy: We use Argon Laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF injections to stop leaking blood vessels.
• Macular Degeneration: Advanced management for both “wet” and “dry” types.
• Vitrectomy Surgery: A complex microsurgery to repair retinal detachments and clear vitreous hemorrhages.

Cornea and Keratoconus Unit

• Keratoconus: A progressive thinning of the cornea. We arrest this progression using Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL), a procedure that strengthens corneal collagen fibers using UV light and riboflavin.
• Transplantation: For advanced cases, we perform DSAEK and DMEK (partial thickness transplants) which have much faster recovery times than full transplants.

Glaucoma Unit

Glaucoma is the “silent thief of sight,” damaging the optic nerve often without pain.

• Diagnostics: We use OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) to measure nerve fiber layer thickness with micron-level precision, detecting damage years before vision loss occurs.
• Treatment: From SLT Laser therapy (which unclogs drainage channels) to MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) implants.

Pediatric Ophthalmology

Children are not just small adults. Their vision development is critical in the first 7 years of life.

• Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Early detection and occlusion therapy.
• Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Surgical correction of eye muscles to restore binocular vision and depth perception.
