Eyes

Ophthalmology is the medical specialty that specifically deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases affecting your eyes. This scope also covers medical conditions which affect your sense of vision. A disciplined approach towards eye health, which involves regular eye screenings from childhood and right through adulthood, can help you diagnose and treat any disorders or diseases that may occur early.

An ophthalmologist is a medical or osteopathic specialist in eye and vision care. The role of an ophthalmologist varies significantly from that of an optician or optometrist. The list of responsibilities of an ophthalmologist includes diagnosing and treating all types of eye diseases and performing eye surgeries as well as prescribing and fitting eyeglasses and contact lenses to rectify vision problems.

Vast Range of Treatment Modalities for Eye Disorders and Diseases

Our Hospitals are accredited by the Malaysian Society for Quality in Health (MSQH) for service quality excellence, which emphasises our position as one of the top health service providers for eye care nationwide.

As a leading medical facility, our attention to quality is exemplified using state-of-the-art technology such as the Heidelberg OCT Glaucoma Imaging scanner. This equipment provides specialists with a comprehensive and personalised analysis of the optic nerve head, retinal nerve fibre layer and macular ganglion cell layer. This level of detail is achieved through precision matching of unique scan patterns to the fine anatomic structures that are related to glaucoma diagnostics.

In addition, our Ophthalmology Treatment Facility also conducts visual field tests which are more commonly used to detect signs of glaucoma. These tests can also be used to detect central or peripheral diseases of the retina and eyelid conditions, which include:

  • Drooping eyes or ptosis
  • Optic neuropathy
  • Optic neuritis
  • Retinitis pigmentosa

If you are experiencing changes or disturbances in your vision, it is recommended to get an early diagnosis to prevent your condition from worsening and boost the effectiveness of treatment. Find out more about our ophthalmology services at Pantai Hospital Ampang by contacting us today.
