Facilities

 

We have a wide range of diagnostic and surgical

equipment (bio-microscope or slit lamp, tonometer,

ultrasound, operating microscope, phaco-emulsification

machine, Nitrous Oxide Cryo).  Operating microscopes

help us to carry out very detailed work.

DIAGNOSTIC:  

Biomicroscopy, Ophthalmoscopy, Tonometry,

Gonioscopy (examination of the drainage angle – see heading ‘images’),

Ultrasound, Electroretinography (ERG).

 

 

EXTRA-OCULAR SURGERY:

 

Eyelid surgery: entropion, ectropion, eyelid masses, eyelid defects,

distichiasis and ectopic cilia.  For multiple distichia our preferred

treatment method is cryosurgery.

 

Corneal surgery: ulcer debridement, keratectomy, conjunctival and

corneal grafts.

 

Parotid Duct Transposition (PDT).

 

 

INTRA-OCULAR SURGERY:

 

Lens luxation, cataract (with lens implantation).  Cataracts and some lens luxations

are treated using phaco-emulsification.
