Cataract surgery.
I perform 500 cataract procedures per year in adults as well as about 30 in children . I specialise in offering a customised approach to each patient, which includes a dicussion about the best vision type of lens for each person. Some people have astigmatism in their glasses, which is can be corrected with special implants which replace the cataract. Some people are happy with distance vision without spectacles and wear reading glasses, and others wish to have implants which give a full range of focussing inside the eye, a bit like varifocal glasses ; Strabismus ('squint'). I operate on adult and child squint to improve the alignment of the eyes; Paediatric ophthalmology. This means that I deal with all child eye conditions from birth to adolescence.
