Opthalmology - Eye Specialists
Medical ophthalmology surgery is a highly specialised branch of vision correction. Any diseases of the eye should be inspected by a trained ophthalmologist.
Surgical Bliss can help you in any one of these specialities listed below – if you cannot find the correct surgery for you, then contact us today and we will inquire with the ophthalmology clinic for further information on your behalf.
Cataract Surgery
Any adult who is approaching the age of 60 and above (even those in their late fifties), who is suffering from impaired cloudy vision, may be suffering from cataracts. This is a very common eye disease and one that can be corrected thanks to advanced surgical techniques. The cataracts are not a film that lies over the eye but a thickening of the lens that impairs light from travelling to your retina. The lens is replaced by another and done in a minimally invasive way. Cataract Surgery is a same day procedure.
Lasik Treatment
Lasik has become one of the most popular treatments in ophthalmology clinics the world over. The procedure is quick, painless and produces stunning results, giving patients crystal-clear vision without having to rely on a pair of thick glasses. Our Surgeons offer the best technology in Lasik Surgery. This is a ten minute surgery, with results that will be enjoyed for many decades to come. With your new eyesight, you can then enjoy the many gorgeous and scenic settings in Cape Town.
Corneal Grafts
A corneal graft or DSAEK surgery involves the replacement of a diseased cornea with healthy donor tissue. The surgeon will use precise techniques to prepare the donor tissue for the patient, and then neatly place it where the diseased posterior portion of the cornea used to be. This is a complicated surgery, yet it is accomplished in a time of two to three hours, with vision showing a remarkably improvement in less than two months. Surgery options for ophthalmology in South Africa are now made easy thanks to Surgical Bliss.
Implantable Contact Lenses
Until recently, Cape Town patients with extreme refractive errors have posed a problem to the ophthalmologist. Studies conducted on implantable contact lens surgery have shown that this intra-ocular surgical technique may be the solution. In the case of patients who display high degrees of short-sightedness and farsightedness implantable contact lenses are more suitable than laser eye surgery. Vision also returns more rapidly, often within a day or so. This procedure is very successful and has been described as “magic” by both patients and surgeons.
