There are a large number of procedures performed at their clinics. Some are defined below:

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

The Meibomian glands in our eyes stow the oil that leathers the surface of our eyes. Due to their dysfunctionality, our eyes could begin to dry. This also keeps the liquid component of tears from drying out.

Patients suffering through MGD may have the following symptoms:
·         Burning
·         Redness
·         Ocular Fatigue
·         Sensitivity to light
·         Itching
·         Excessive Tearing
·         Contact Lenses Intolerance

Cataract Surgery

There is a natural sensitive lens in our eyes that allows us to see, however; a cataract causes theses lenses to become opaque. Therefore, a surgery is performed to replace an artificial lens. These surgeries are pricey, but the total cost depends on the type of lens used in the surgery.

At our modernized clinics, you will be treated with the latest technology, Lipiflow. It is an approximately twenty minute’s procedure, through which both eyes can be treated concurrently and it involves the facilitation of the blocked Meibomian glands allowing the flow of oil to lubricate the eyes.
