Ophthalmology is a medical speciality focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders related to the eyes and visual system. At CRSL Multispecialty Hospital, our team of experienced ophthalmologists is dedicated to providing comprehensive eye care services to patients of all ages. We strive to preserve and enhance vision, promote eye health, and manage a wide range of eye conditions.

 

Our ophthalmologists conduct thorough eye examinations to assess visual acuity, eye coordination, and overall eye health. These comprehensive exams include evaluations of the cornea, lens, retina, optic nerve, and other structures of the eye. By utilising advanced diagnostic tools and techniques, we can accurately diagnose eye conditions and develop personalised treatment plans.

 

Many sight-threatening diseases, if detected early, can be cured or treated to prevent or slow the progression of serious vision loss.

 

The most important step in preventing visual loss is a routine examination of the eyes by a qualified eye care professional. Children should receive their first comprehensive eye examination before the age of four unless problems warrant an earlier examination. Persons ages 20 to 40 should have an eye examination every five years, 40 to 60 every two years and after 60 every year if there are no visual problems. Immediate care is required if there is visual change, pain, flashes of light, new floaters, injury or tearing, etc.

 

People with diabetes are at greater risk for several eye disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts, and should have an eye examination every year or as per their doctor's advice. Asians are more at risk of glaucoma and should have regular checkups after 40 years of age, especially with a positive family history of glaucoma.
