Ophthalmology
The Eye Department at Koru Hospital is one of the leading centres for eye care in the region, offering a wide range of diagnostic and treatment services to patients of all ages. Our team of ophthalmologists, optometrists, and support staff are highly skilled and experienced in the latest techniques and technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of various eye conditions.
We offer comprehensive eye exams that can detect a range of eye conditions and diseases, including glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. These exams typically include a visual acuity test, a dilated eye exam, and other tests as needed to assess the health and function of your eyes.
For patients with more serious eye conditions or diseases, we offer a range of advanced treatment options, including laser therapy, injections, and surgery. Our team of ophthalmologists are trained in the latest surgical techniques, including cataract surgery, and retinal surgery.
In addition to treating eye conditions, our Eye Department also provides services for vision correction, such as prescription glasses and contact lenses. Our optometrists work closely with patients to determine the best course of treatment for their individual needs, taking into account their lifestyle, preferences, and overall eye health.
