Blepharitis and dry eye are common conditions that often occur together, causing irritation, redness, and a gritty or burning sensation in the eyes. Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid edges, usually linked to blocked glands or skin conditions, while dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right quality of tears to stay comfortable. These conditions can be long-lasting but are manageable with the right treatment and care.

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure to restore clear vision by removing the cloudy lens inside your eye and replacing it with a clear artificial one. Cataracts develop gradually with age and can cause blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Surgery is typically quick, performed under local anaesthetic, and most people notice a significant improvement in their vision within days. It’s one of the most common and successful operations worldwide.

Pterygium surgery is a procedure to remove a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the surface of the eye, which can cause redness, irritation, or blurred vision if it grows over the cornea. Often linked to sun and wind exposure, pterygia are common in outdoor lifestyles and warmer climates. Surgery is usually recommended if the growth is affecting vision or causing discomfort. The procedure is quick and safe, and modern techniques help reduce the chance of recurrence and promote a smooth recovery.

Keratoconus is a condition where the clear front surface of the eye (the cornea) gradually thins and bulges into a cone shape, leading to distorted and blurred vision. It often begins in the teenage years or early adulthood and can progress over time. In the early stages, glasses or contact lenses may help, but as the condition advances, specialist treatments like corneal cross-linking, custom contact lenses, or in some cases, corneal transplantation may be needed. With modern care, most people with keratoconus can maintain good vision and lead normal, active lives.

Allergic eye disease is a common condition where the eyes react to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander, causing redness, itching, watering, and swelling. Symptoms can range from mild and seasonal to more persistent and severe, especially in children and young adults. Treatment focuses on relieving discomfort and preventing flare-ups, using anti-allergy eye drops, lubricants, and sometimes short courses of anti-inflammatory medication. With the right care, allergic eye symptoms can usually be well controlled and quality of life significantly improved.

Corneal infections, also known as infectious keratitis, occur when germs such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites invade the cornea—the clear front surface of the eye. These infections can develop quickly and may cause pain, redness, light sensitivity, discharge, and blurred vision. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent permanent damage or vision loss, usually involving intensive eye drops and close monitoring. Early diagnosis and specialist care are key to a good recovery and protecting long-term eye health.

A corneal transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea—the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye—with healthy donor tissue. It may be recommended for conditions such as keratoconus, scarring, or swelling that affect vision. Modern techniques allow for partial or full-thickness transplants depending on the specific problem. Most patients experience significant improvement in vision over time. With expert care and follow-up, corneal transplantation offers a safe and effective way to restore sight.

Lid lumps and bumps, such as chalazia or styes, are common eyelid conditions that often result from blocked glands. They may appear as painless swellings or tender red lumps and can cause discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concern. Many resolve with warm compresses and gentle massage, but persistent or bothersome lumps may need minor in-clinic procedures to remove them. Treatment is quick, safe, and typically leaves minimal scarring, helping restore comfort and a more even eyelid appearance.

YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is a quick and painless laser procedure used to restore clear vision after cataract surgery. Over time, a cloudy membrane (called posterior capsule opacification) can form behind the artificial lens, causing vision to become blurred again—often described as similar to the original cataract. The YAG laser creates a small opening in this membrane, allowing light to pass through clearly. The procedure takes just a few minutes, with vision usually improving within hours or days and no need for stitches or recovery time.

Refractive surgery is a group of procedures designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea to improve how light focuses on the retina. This includes treatments like LASIK, PRK, and implantable lenses, which can correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. These procedures are quick, safe, and highly effective, with most people experiencing a rapid improvement in vision and long-lasting results. A thorough consultation helps determine the best option based on your eyes, lifestyle, and visual goals.
