Our Ophthalmic Services

Retina Specialist

It is estimated that approximately 500 people develop this condition every year in Ireland.

Wet AMD affects the central point of the retina, the macula, which is responsible for capturing central vision to make our vision sharper. This is the area we use to read and see faces.

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts usually develop over a long period, causing progressive yet gradual deterioration of vision.  

If a cataract is left untreated, the lens will eventually become so clouded that daily activities become extremely difficult.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an umbrella term for a group of diseases that can cause serious damage to delicate retinal nerve fibres and the optic nerve, which transmits sight to the brain to be recognised as images.

Vision loss can often be slowed or stopped if the disease is diagnosed and treated early.
