Treatments at St George's Eye Care
Cataracts
A cataract is a gradual clouding of the usually-clear lens in your eye which can result in blurry and disturbed vision. If you have a cataract you may feel as though you are looking through a frosted window.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause progressive vision loss. Early detection and treatment can prevent glaucoma from causing permanent blindness.
Retinal conditions
The retina is the nerve layer lining the inside of the back of the eye. Left untreated, some retinal diseases can lead to severe loss of vision or even blindness.
