Ophthalmology
Occular examinations.
We are able to assess and treat both medical and surgical conditions such as "cherry eye", entropion surgery and the assessment and management of challenging occular ulcers and glaucoma.
Ophthalmic Equipment
We have specialist equipment to allow more detailed evaluation of ophthalmic conditions. These include a Tonopen, which allows accurate measurement of eye pressure in a conscious patient for conditions such as glaucoma or uveitis.Our Corneal Burr is used in the treatment of unresponsive eye ulcers to remove unhealthy tissue, and we have a range of specialist surgical instruments specific for occular (eye) surgery.
The Slit Lamp
allows detailed visualisation of occular structures such as the lens
and cornea which is not possible with a conventional ophthalmoscope.
