FAQs

  • What are cataracts, and how are they treated?

    Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, affecting vision. They typically develop with age but can also result from injury or medical conditions. Treatment involves cataract surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear, artificial one. This is a common procedure carried out to restore clarity and improve vision.

  • How do I know if I need cataract surgery?

    Cataract surgery is recommended when clouded vision starts interfering with daily activities like reading or driving. Common symptoms include blurry vision, glare from lights or seeing faded colours. If these issues impact your quality of life, consult an ophthalmologist to discuss your options.

  • What services do ophthalmologists provide?

    Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat eye conditions. Their services include cataract surgery, glaucoma management, retinal care and treatments for diabetic eye conditions. They also perform eye exams to assess overall eye health.

  • What is glaucoma, and how is it treated?

    Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. Left untreated, it can lead to vision loss. Treatment options include prescription eye drops, laser treatments or surgery to lower eye pressure and prevent further damage. Regular check-ups are important for early detection and management.
