Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Our advanced glaucoma program near Peakhurst includes comprehensive pressure monitoring, optic nerve assessment, and visual field testing.

Early Detection is Critical

Regular monitoring can prevent up to 95% of glaucoma-related vision loss.

Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetes can cause serious eye complications including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. Our specialized diabetic eye care in Penshurst provides essential monitoring and early intervention.
