Optometry | Wendy Ho Optique

Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Early detection is essential to protect your long-term vision. We use advanced diagnostic technology to assess eye pressure, examine the optic nerve, and monitor changes over time. If signs of glaucoma are detected, we provide clear guidance, ongoing monitoring, and tailored management plans. Our approach focuses on early intervention, professional expertise, personalised care and giving you confidence that your eye health is in trusted hands.

Laser eye surgery referral is a significant aspect of optometric care, especially for individuals seeking alternatives to glasses or contact lenses for vision correction. It is crucial in assessing a patient's suitability for laser eye surgery, such as LASIK, PRK, or SMILE procedures. This process involves a thorough evaluation of the patient's ocular health, including corneal thickness, curvature, and overall eye condition, to determine if they are good candidates for laser vision correction. A review of the patient's medical history, current vision prescription, and lifestyle needs to ensure that laser surgery is a safe and effective option.

Paediatric optometry focuses on the visual health and development of children, a vital aspect of their overall growth and learning. This specialty of optometry addresses the unique eye care needs of infants, toddlers, school-age children, and adolescents. Paediatric optometrists are skilled in detecting and managing various visual disorders in children, such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes), refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), and focusing difficulties.

Cataract screening is an essential component of preventive eye care, primarily aimed at the early detection and management of cataracts, a common condition characterised by the clouding of the eye's natural lens. Early detection of cataracts is crucial, as it allows for timely intervention, which can range from prescription changes in eyewear to cataract surgery, depending on the severity and impact on vision. Regular screenings are recommended, especially for individuals over the age of 60, to monitor eye health and ensure timely treatment, thereby maintaining good vision and quality of life.
