Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery is recommended when your vision becomes cloudy or blurred, affecting daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces. Our specialists perform a detailed eye examination to assess the severity and discuss the best time for surgery. Cataract removal is a safe, quick, and highly successful procedure to restore clear vision.
What’s the difference between LASIK and SMILE laser vision correction?
Both LASIK and SMILE are advanced procedures to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
LASIK involves creating a thin flap on the cornea and reshaping the underlying tissue with a laser.
SMILE is a newer, flapless technique that’s minimally invasive and offers faster recovery.
Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable option based on your eye condition and lifestyle.
Can my child’s myopia (short-sightedness) be controlled or reversed?
While myopia cannot be completely reversed, it can be effectively controlled to slow its progression. Our Myopia Control Program includes special lenses, atropine eye drops, and lifestyle guidance designed to protect your child’s long-term vision health.
How is glaucoma detected and treated?
Glaucoma is a silent eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often without early symptoms. Regular eye check-ups are essential for early detection. We use advanced diagnostic tools to measure eye pressure and assess nerve health. Treatment may involve medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery to preserve vision and prevent further damage.
What is diabetic retinopathy and how can it be managed?
Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the retina’s blood vessels. It can lead to vision loss if untreated. Early diagnosis through routine eye exams and timely treatments — such as laser therapy or injections — can prevent serious damage and maintain clear vision.
My child has a squint (crossed eyes). Can it be corrected?
Yes! Squint and Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) can often be treated effectively with glasses, patching therapy, or minor surgery, depending on the cause. Early intervention is key to achieving proper eye alignment and preventing vision impairment.
