The Department
of Opthalmology in Fathima Hospital encompasses all aspects
of both medical and surgical ophthalmology. Surgical operations
carried out at the hospital include modern small incision
cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, glaucoma filtering
operations and minor lid procedures. All surgeries are
performed using the latest micro-surgical equipment. Patients
have their cataracts removed using phacoemulsification
with small incision and no-stitch techniques using local
anaesthesia. Multidisciplinary approach is used to treat
patients presenting for cataract surgery so as to address
their complicating medical conditions too. |
