Comprehensive Eye Care Services

Say goodbye to spectacles with Contoura Vision LASIK, which maps 22,000 points on the cornea for highly customized treatment.

  • Surgery for pterygium and nail growth on the eye
  • YAG Laser treatment for eye membrane and secondary cataract
  • OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) for retina imaging
  • NCT (Non-Contact Tonometry) for eye pressure
  • Retina Clinic with comprehensive examination

What to expect at eye OPD

Reception directs you to vision checks, slit-lamp review, and diagnostic tests such as OCT or NCT when indicated. Routine visits may include dilation—bring sunglasses and avoid driving yourself if drops are used until your doctor clears you. LASIK counselling explains Contoura mapping; cataract and retina pathways share the same diagnostics already listed above.

Prepare for your visit

  • Carry current spectacles, contact-lens boxes, and a list of systemic medicines (especially for diabetes or blood thinners)
  • For planned injections or laser days, follow the fasting or medication plan our team confirms—do not assume nil-by-mouth unless instructed
  • Bring old prescriptions or operation notes so lens choices and retina history stay consistent

When to seek urgent eye care

  • Sudden painless vision loss, curtain-like shadow, or new flashes and floaters with a shower of spots
  • Chemical splash, penetrating injury, or high-velocity metal to the eye—shield the eye and seek emergency care immediately
  • Severe eye pain with nausea and halos—call so we can prioritise you alongside other emergencies

Coordination with surgery & medicine

Patients who need cataract or retina treatment alongside diabetes control or preoperative clearance can lean on general surgery and physician colleagues on campus for shared planning. Fracture-related periorbital swelling or facial trauma can also be triaged with our surgical team when the eye department advises joint assessment.
