Department of Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology
The Department of Ophthalmology at Unicorpus Health Foundation is committed to delivering high-quality, affordable, and ethical eye care for individuals of all ages. Our consultants provide expert management of a wide range of ophthalmic conditions, combining clinical excellence with advanced diagnostic and surgical capabilities. With a strong emphasis on community outreach, we aim to make essential vision care accessible to all, particularly those in underserved regions.
Conditions We Manage
Our team is highly skilled in diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of ocular conditions, including:
- Refractive Errors (short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia):
Vision problems caused by improper focusing of light on the retina, often corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
- Cataracts:
Clouding of the natural lens of the eye, leading to blurred vision and glare, commonly treated with surgical lens replacement.
- Glaucoma:
A group of eye conditions characterised by optic nerve damage, often due to increased intraocular pressure; early detection is key to preserving vision.
- Diabetic Retinopathy:
Damage to the retinal blood vessels caused by long-standing diabetes, which can lead to vision loss if untreated.
- Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD):
A degenerative condition affecting the central part of the retina (macula), impairing central vision essential for reading and recognising faces.
- Corneal Diseases and Dry Eye Syndrome:
Disorders affecting the clarity and health of the cornea, or inadequate tear film causing discomfort, irritation, and visual disturbances
- Uveitis and Ocular Inflammation:
Inflammation of the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, and choroid) which may result from autoimmune conditions or infections, requiring urgent management.
- Paediatric Eye Disorders (e.g., squint, amblyopia):
Early-onset vision issues that may impair development if not corrected, including misalignment of the eyes and reduced visual acuity in one eye.
- Allergic and Infective Conjunctivitis:
Inflammation of the conjunctiva due to allergens or infections, presenting with redness, irritation, discharge, or itching.
- Ocular Trauma:
Eye injuries ranging from surface abrasions to penetrating trauma, requiring prompt attention to preserve structure and vision.
