  He offers LASIK and PRK to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, employing precise excimer lasers for predictable outcomes.

• Corneal & Anterior‑Segment Care
  He treats keratoconus and corneal dystrophies using collagen cross‑linking and lamellar grafts, which preserve structural integrity.

• Glaucoma Management
  He provides medical therapy, laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) to lower intraocular pressure and protect the optic nerve.

• Medical Retina & Macular Treatments
  He administers anti‑VEGF injections for diabetic retinopathy and age‑related macular degeneration, guided by OCT imaging to monitor progress.

• Comprehensive Eye Examinations
  He conducts visual‑field testing, tonometry, and dilated fundus exams, ensuring early detection of ocular disease.

• Laser Therapies
  He utilises YAG capsulotomy and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for posterior capsule opacification and glaucoma, respectively.

Each procedure unfolds in laminar‑flow theatres and dedicated exam rooms equipped with digital retinal cameras and optical coherence tomography.
