What is ophthalmology?

Ophthalmology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye diseases and visual disorders. It encompasses a wide range of eye conditions, including refractive errors (such as near-sightedness and far-sightedness), cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal diseases.

At St Stephen’s Hospital, our skilled ophthalmologists are committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for your eye health. They not only prescribe corrective lenses and medications but also perform surgical procedures to treat complex eye conditions. We use cutting-edge technology and innovative techniques to enhance diagnosis and treatment. Our compassionate team is here to guide you through every step of your eye care journey.
