Procedures
Dr Sara is a general Ophthalmologist and has extensive experience and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of all eye related conditions. He has a special interest in the following:
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of the eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens.
Ocular Plastic Surgery
Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, often referred to as oculoplastic surgery, is plastic surgery focused on the structures surrounding the eye.
Glaucoma Surgery
The most common type of surgery for glaucoma is called trabeculectomy. It involves removing part of the eye-drainage tubes to allow fluid to drain more easily.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery involves removal of the abnormal tissue from the sclera and cornea of the eye.
Macular Degeneration
Treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may slow the disease and keep you from having serious loss of vision.
Laser Treatments
Laser treatments are used in the cases of diabetic eye disease, retinal bleeds and retinal tears.
