Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that involves the study and treatment of eye disorders and diseases.

Your eyes are complex organs, made up of many different parts, and there are numerous eye diseases and conditions that can affect them. Common problems include: cataracts, cornea conditions, glaucoma, and retinal disease.

Our highly skilled consultant ophthalmologists diagnose and treat many eye diseases and perform eye surgery.
