Services

At Newmedica Birmingham, Professor Kolli provides:

• Cataract Surgery
  He performs high‑volume cataract procedures and manages complex cases involving short‑sight, long‑sight, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Furthermore, he fits premium lenses—toric, trifocal, and extended depth‑of‑field implants—to optimise visual outcomes.

  He uses precision lasers for posterior capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy, thereby restoring vision clarity and preventing angle‑closure events.

  He delivers specialised therapies for dry eye syndrome and other surface disorders. Moreover, he applies targeted treatments such as punctal plugs and Meibomian gland therapies.

• Glaucoma Management
  He diagnoses and treats all glaucoma stages with medical and surgical protocols to preserve long‑term vision. In addition, he monitors patients with optical coherence tomography.
