Ophthalmology

• Mydriatic fundus camera and fundus fluorescein angiography

  A method used to assess the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of retinal and choroidal circulation.

• Optical coherence tomography (OCT)

  A technique for generating cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve with high resolution.

• Immersion A-scan biometry

  A technique for calculating the power of the intraocular lens to be implanted in very dense and mature cataracts.

• B-scan ocular ultrasound

  An imaging method to examine the posterior segment of the eye for conditions, such as mature cataract and vitreous haemorrhage.

• LenSx cataract surgery

  Femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery for added precision, accuracy, and reproducibility of certain critical steps of the surgery, which help reduce the risks associated with the surgery and improve the visual outcomes.

  A technique that allows for visualisation of the anterior chamber angle to evaluate for angle closure and to diagnose glaucoma.

Our patient education and support programmes are designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to manage their eye health effectively. We offer a variety of educational materials, workshops, and one-on-one consultations to help patients understand their conditions, treatment options, and the importance of eye care. Our dedicated team also addresses individual concerns, explaining procedures, and offering advice on managing symptoms or side effects. Our programs also provide emotional support, ensuring patients and their families feel informed, confident, and supported throughout their journey.

LipiFlow treats dry eye disease by warming and massaging the inside of the eyelids to restore healthy oil production and improve tear quality. Before the procedure, eye-numbing drops are applied. Once the eyes are fully numb, sterile activators are placed around your eyelids without touching the eye. Once the activators are in place, the procedure takes about 12 minutes. The process begins with the activators exerting a constant pressure for the first 2 minutes as they warm to a temperature that begins to dissolve the gland obstructions. Over the next 10 minutes, the activators cycle through differing levels of pressure, providing the massage that starts the natural flow of oil.

Features:

• Quick procedure: Done in just 12 minutes.
• Tolerable: Safer and less painful than the traditional method of clearing blockages in the meibomian glands by physically squeezing the eyelid.
• Immediately noticeable results: Many patients will notice an improvement in symptoms right away but optimal results are generally noticed in 6–8 weeks.

Treatment and procedure:

• Dry eye (Meibomian gland dysfunction): Treats dry eye disease in just 12 minutes by warming and massaging the inside of the eyelids.

With the incidence of myopia (nearsightedness or shortsightedness) rapidly increasing among children and adolescents, it is important to monitor for myopia early on in life. Myopia Master is an efficient device that detects myopia in children at a very early stage, allowing monitoring its progression and management easy and reliable. It is the first all-in-one device that simultaneously measures refraction, axial length, and keratometry (the three most important myopia-related parameters) in just 2 minutes. The procedure is also contactless and completely painless.

Features:

• Early identification: Facilitates early myopia detection and management.
• All-in-one device: Facilitates the simultaneous measurement of refraction, axial length, and keratometry.
• Quick and non-invasive procedure: The total testing time is just 2 minutes!

Treatment and procedure:

• Myopia (shortsightedness): The earlier myopia is detected, the better it is for treatment. Myopia Master helps us detect myopia at a very early stage. Children should ideally be regularly tested for shortsightedness from the age of 4 years.

Verion is a state-of-the-art device designed to enhance cataract surgery planning and execution. By taking high-resolution images of the eye, Verion helps surgeons determine the optimal incision placement and intraocular lens (IOL) power to get precise refractive outcomes. This is particularly useful for planning surgery with premium IOLs like toric and trifocal lenses. Verion seamlessly integrates with surgical microscopes and LenSx laser systems, providing surgeons with a real-time reference image for accurate and efficient cataract surgery.

Features:

• Precise: Designed to improve accuracy and reduce the potential for errors.
• Customisable: Creates a personalised blueprint of the procedure to optimise the results for each patient.

Treatment and procedure:

• Cataract surgery: This system of integrated surgical planning and digital guidance technologies helps eye surgeons achieve their refractive targets during cataract surgery effectively and precisely.

Pentacam AXL wave is the first device to combine Scheimpflug tomography with axial length, total wavefront, refraction, and retro illumination. It is particularly useful for cataract surgery planning, especially with premium IOLs. Meanwhile, Corvis ST is an innovative tool that measure corneal biomechanics and biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure. The combination of these two devices is effective in diagnosing corneal disorders, evaluating corneal biomechanics, and guiding treatment decisions. The Pentacam AXL Wave enables the surgeons to decide the treatment, while the Corvis ST enables them to determine the safety of the treatment.

Features:

• Preoperative benefits: Performs optical biometry and IOL power calculations and identifies high-order aberrations (irregularities in the shape of the cornea or lens that can cause blurry or distorted vision).
• Postoperative benefits: Rechecks for high-order aberrations, evaluates IOL position and inclination, and checks postoperative visual performance.
• Comprehensive and time-saving: Provides different sets of data for each patient, saving time for both the doctor and the patient.

Treatments and procedures:

• Refractive surgery planning: Data from these two tools ensure the right procedure choice for maximum safety, accuracy and good surgical outcomes.
• Cataract surgery planning: By evaluating corneal parameters, these devices help select the right intraocular lens and ensure surgical success.
