Glaucoma

While many ophthalmologists and perhaps other eye care professionals can support glaucoma sufferers, receiving advanced or complex treatments (especially surgery) from a glaucoma specialist could provide a more advantageous outcome.

In many instances many aspects of your eye care may be managed by both an optometrist and an ophthalmologists working together.

The glaucoma specialist at Dublin Ophthalmic provides the full-spectrum of care—ranging from medical therapy and traditional surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS)—for patients of all ages. He also provides second-opinion consultations to ensure that you have the correct diagnosis and/or treatment plan in a team approach with your optician and general practitioner.

Regular integrated testing is required to correlate the form and function of the eye/s involved to determine that intervention is appropriate and effective over the short and long term. The many different types and severities of glaucoma and its spectrum would never be treated the same way.

Treatments must be individualised according to the lifestyle and requirements of the person who might be diagnosed as having glaucoma.  Regular integrated testing is required to correlate the form and function of the eye/s involved to determine that intervention is appropriate and effective over the short and long term.

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.
