Consultations

Why Should You Consult An Ophthalmologist?

You should see an ophthalmologist if you experience:

• Persistent eye pain
• Persistent redness of the eye
• Loss of vision, sudden or gradual
• Distorted vision or double vision
• Flashes or floaters in your vision
• Bulging of the eye or swelling of eye tissues
• Changes in the color of the iris
• Crossed eyes or problems with eye coordination
• Excessive tearing or unusual sensitivity to light
• Signs of infection including discharge, crusting or excessive blinking

What To Expect During An Ophthalmic Examination?

A basic eye examination by an ophthalmologist includes:

• Visual Acuity Test: This test measures how well you see at various distances.
• Pupil Function Test: This test checks the pupil's reaction to light and object proximity.
• Visual Field Test: This test measures your peripheral (side) vision.
• Eye Pressure Test: This test, also known as tonometry, measures the pressure inside your eye.
• Retinal Examination: In this test, your doctor will dilate your pupils and check the back of your eyes, including your retina, optic disk, and underlying blood vessels.

Our Specialized Treatments

At Duna Medical Center, we provide advanced, state-of-the-art treatments including:

• Retinal Argon Laser Treatment: This is a non-invasive procedure used to treat several eye conditions, including retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema. The laser helps to seal off leaking blood vessels, prevent further vision loss, and even improve vision in some cases.
• Pterygium Removal (Surfer's Eye Surgery): Pterygium, commonly referred to as surfer's eye, is a benign growth on the surface of the eye. We provide expert surgical removal of the pterygium to restore normal appearance and function to the eye.
• Intraocular Lens (IOL) Design: Using advanced technology such as optical biometry or ultrasound, and in certain cases Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), we can accurately measure the eye to design a custom intraocular lens (IOL) for cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange.
• Computerized Visual Field Examination: This test helps detect dysfunction in central and peripheral vision which may be caused by various medical conditions such as glaucoma, stroke, brain tumors or other neurological deficits.
