If you’re struggling with any of the below, we want to help provide a clear and low stress solution
Eye conditions can cause a vitreous haemorrhage, where blood leaks into the vitreous ‘gel’ inside the eye. We can treat this condition with laser treatment, therapy and surgery.
Sjögren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease with symptoms that include dry eyes, mouth and skin. We can treat this condition with medication and surgery.
Short-sightedness – also known as myopia or nearsightedness – makes it difficult to focus on objects in the distance. We can correct this common eye problem with the latest vision correction treatments.
A retinal vein occlusion or ‘eye stroke’, is a block between your blood vessels to your retina. It can cause sudden blindness. We can treat this condition with injections, laser treatment and therapy.
A detached retina can cause sudden blindness. We need to treat it with immediate surgery to avoid permanent damage.
Ptosis is a drooping or sagging of the upper eyelid, which may affect one eye or both. We can treat this condition with surgery.
Both a pterygium and a pinguecula are abnormal growths that form on the surface of the eye. While they may appear similar and have similar symptoms and causes, they are actually different conditions. We can treat these conditions with eye drops or surgery.
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes’ ability to focus on nearby objects as you age. We can correct this inevitable eye condition. We can remove your dependency on reading glasses with the latest vision correction treatments.
Sometimes called a ‘secondary cataract’, a posterior capsule opacity (PCO) is a hazy membrane that can form after cataract surgery. We can treat this condition with a very simple YAG laser capsulotomy procedure.
A macular hole is a break or hole in the macula which usually affects those aged 60 and over. It can cause blurred and distorted central vision. We can treat this condition with vitrectomy surgery.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) usually affects people over 60. It is the leading cause of vision loss in the western world. We can correct this condition with medication, injections and therapy.
Long-sightedness – also known as hyperopia or farsightedness – makes it difficult to focus on objects close up. We can correct this common eye problem with the latest vision correction treatments.
Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) develops an irregular conical shape. That causes your vision to blur. We can treat this condition with special lenses, therapies or surgery.
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight”. It affects your vision, often without you noticing. If you leave it untreated, it can cause total blindness. We can treat this eye condition with medication, laser treatment and surgery.
An epiretinal membrane is a thin layer of tissue that forms over the macula at the back of your eye. That membrane makes it harder for you to see. We can treat this eye condition with a surgery called a vitrectomy.
Diabetic eye disease can affect many parts of the eye. These include the retina, macula, lens and the optic nerve. We can treat this condition with medication, laser treatment and surgery.
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in your eye, which causes blurred vision. We can restore your vision AND reduce the need for glasses with refractive cataract surgery.
Astigmatism is one of the most common eye problems. It causes blurred vision at all distances. It usually occurs when the corneas are ‘rugby ball shaped’. We can correct this condition with the latest vision correction treatments.
