- Close and distant direct ophthalmoscopy
- Indirect ophthalmoscopy
- Gonioscopy
- Advanced diagnostic techniques i.e. ocular ultrasonography and electroretinography
What are the Most Common Ophthalmic Conditions?
Our Ophthalmologists have a broad range of interests in both medical and surgical eye conditions including:
- Eyelid disorders and reconstructive lid surgery
