Overview of Our Treatments
-
Irregular Astigmatism
Irregular astigmatism is an astigmatism of the cornea that cannot be corrected by glasses or normal contacts lenses.
-
Post Corneal Transplant
Patients can sometimes experience reduced vision or a need for complex contact lenses after corneal transplants procedures.
-
Corneal Scarring
Corneal scarring can be caused by infections, pterygium surgery, trauma, chemical injuries and Salzman’s Nodular Degeneration.
-
Recurrent Erosion Syndrome
Recurrent erosions of the cornea occur when the superficial layer of the cornea called “epithelium” breaks down.
-
Corneal Dystrophy
Corneal dystrophies are a group of inherited genetic disorders that cause the cornea to become opaque over time.
-
Keratoconus & Corneal Cross-linking
Corneal collagen cross linking is a procedure that is used to strengthen corneas that are weak due to keratoconus.
-
CAIRS Eye Surgery
CAIRS act to regularise the irregular corneal surface, essentially acting as internal braces to reinforce the thinning, bulging cornea.
