Advanced Eye Disease Treatment in NSW

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that causes vision loss in the centre of your eye. We can use laser therapy to slow the progression of AMD and destroy the abnormal blood vessels contributing to your vision loss.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of new blindness. Diabetic macular oedema is a condition caused by fluid accumulation in the macula that affects the central field of vision. Laser therapy can close and destroy the leaking blood vessels to stop the progression of blindness. 

Retinal vein occlusion occurs when a vein in the retinal becomes blocked, preventing blood from draining from the retina. The increased pressure causes bleeding, swelling and fluid leaks. Retinal vein occlusion can give you blurry vision or permanent blindness in the affected eye. Focal laser therapy and injections are two treatment options that can relieve the complications of retinal vein occlusion and protect your vision.

In patients with glaucoma, the nerve that connects the eye to the brain becomes damaged. Glaucoma treatments include medications to relieve the eye pressure, laser surgery or a medical procedure called trabeculoplasty. If you are experiencing blurred vision or vision loss from glaucoma, an eye specialist can help decide the best course of treatment. 

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition in which fluid accumulates under the retina, leading to retinal detachment and vision loss. Therapies to treat chronic CSC include photodynamic laser treatment, steroid medications and eye injections.
