Eye Specialist (Ipoh)

Ophthalmology is based on a Greek word which translates to ‘the science of eyes’.

There are many diseases that can affect the eyes. Some are minor and temporary while others may lead to persistent blindness.

Your best defence is to go for regular eye check-ups as eye diseases do not always present early. Early detection and treatment can help prevent eye conditions that can lead to vision loss.

Our experienced eye specialists can help you manage conditions related to your eyes.
