Services
Dr Gray provides a comprehensive suite of specialized eye care services. Each service uses state-of-the-art technology and a patient-centered approach:
Cataract Surgery: Phacoemulsification removes opacified lenses. Then, advanced intraocular lenses—such as multifocal and toric designs—are implanted. Consequently, patients enjoy optimal postoperative vision.
Medical Retina Care: Dr Gray treats diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusions. She uses intravitreal injections (anti-VEGF agents, steroids). Moreover, targeted laser therapy applies when needed. All treatments rely on Spectral-Domain OCT for precise monitoring.
Glaucoma Management: She performs selective laser trabeculoplasty and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) (e.g., i-Stent, XeN). In addition, she prescribes personalized medication regimens. Therefore, patients maintain optic nerve health effectively.
Pterygium Excision: The procedure uses conjunctival autograft techniques. As a result, recurrence is minimized. Patients also benefit from restored corneal integrity and improved appearance.
Floaters & Vitreous Assessment: Dr Gray evaluates posterior segment issues with high-resolution OCT. Consequently, she identifies vitreoretinal interface abnormalities. Afterwards, she recommends appropriate management strategies.
Infections & Uveitis: She diagnoses and treats endophthalmitis, keratitis, and uveitis with tailored pharmacologic regimens. Moreover, her rapid interventions preserve vision and reduce complications.
Paediatric Ophthalmology: Dr Gray screens and manages strabismus, amblyopia, and congenital cataracts. She uses child-friendly protocols to ensure healthy visual development and a positive experience.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration Monitoring: She employs digital fluorescein angiography alongside SD-OCT. Therefore, disease progression is tracked closely. This allows for timely adjustments to treatment plans.
Each service is performed in modern operating suites. These rooms feature laminar-flow systems and real-time imaging. Consequently, patients receive efficient care in a comfortable environment. Schedule a consultation today to begin your personalized treatment plan.
