Not everyone wearing spectacles can have Laser correction. We will do a comprehensive eye examination to check your suitability. Should these tests indicate a good chance for Laser, a final consultation with Dr Van Aswegen will be arranged at a later date to suit you. See laser for more information
Cataract surgery is the most common operation in persons over 60 years world wide! Surgery is done through a 2 – 2.5mm wound that heals without suturing. Mostly these operations are done under local anaesthetic and usually take no longer than 15 – 20 minutes. We offer the latest lens technology – Multifocal, Accommodative, Astigmatic and Monofocal.
Pterygium surgery has always been difficult because of the chance that it would recur, or be worse than before. Dr Van Aswegen uses the latest technique –sutureless conjunctival grafting with tissue glue. Results are so good that pterygium surgery can be done no matter the size, large or small, symptomatic or cosmetic.
