FAQ's Related to Ophthalmologist

Laser eye surgery can correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia, helping reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), which is recommended when vision is significantly impaired and interferes with daily activities.

Corneal transplantation may be required for conditions such as keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy, or corneal scarring, and involves replacing the damaged cornea with a donor cornea using advanced techniques like DMEK, DSAEK, or DALK.

Patients with blepharitis, dry eye, or contact lens-related problems undergo assessment and treatment before laser or cataract surgery to optimise outcomes and reduce post-surgical complications.

Patients are evaluated based on their eye health, corneal thickness, refractive error, and ocular surface condition; some may need treatment of dry eye or other issues before being eligible.

Advancements include femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, wavefront-guided LASIK, and minimally invasive corneal transplantation techniques, which improve precision, safety, and visual outcomes.
