OPHTHALMOLOGY
Care for your eyes and sight — cataracts, diabetic eye checks, glaucoma, children's vision and more, from routine screening through to surgery.
Sight is worth protecting early
Your sight underpins your independence and quality of life — and many eye diseases do their damage quietly, with no early warning. At Putra Medical Centre, our ophthalmology service covers acute and chronic eye conditions for all ages, from routine screening to laser and surgery.
Being inside a hospital matters here more than most people realise: diabetes and high blood pressure directly damage the retina and optic nerve. So we work hand in hand with the diabetes, internal medicine and other clinics — treating your eyes as part of your whole-body health, not in isolation.
What we help with
Not sure whether it needs checking? Start with what you've noticed.
Blurry or cloudy vision
Often a cataract, and very treatable.
Diabetes — protecting your eyes
Regular checks catch damage before it costs you sight.
Eye pressure / glaucoma
Silent, but preventable if caught.
Your child's lazy eye or squint
Best treated while vision is still developing.
A red, painful or infected eye
Cornea and surface problems.
Floaters, flashes or sudden vision change
Worth checking promptly.
A droopy eyelid or watery eye
Eyelid and tear-duct problems.
What we can do about it
Our eye care falls into six areas. Pick the one that matches your situation.
Replacing a clouded lens — usually as day surgery, with vision back quickly.
What this includes
- Cataract evaluation
- Removal of the cloudy lens
- Artificial intraocular lens implant
- Day-surgery procedure with short stay
Restores clear vision and independence, with rapid recovery.
Protecting the back of the eye, where diabetes does its damage quietly.
What this includes
- Diabetic retinopathy screening
- Retinal photography and high-resolution imaging
- Laser therapy
- Intravitreal (eye) injections
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Hypertensive retinopathy monitoring
Prevents irreversible vision loss in patients with diabetes and retinal disease.
Eye pressure that damages the optic nerve — usually without any warning signs at all.
What this includes
- Intraocular pressure measurement
- Optic nerve evaluation
- Regular structured monitoring
- Laser treatment where needed
Glaucoma has no early symptoms but can cause permanent loss — monitoring is what prevents it.
Vision problems are best corrected while a child's sight is still developing.
What this includes
- Amblyopia (lazy eye) — patching therapy and glasses
- Squint (strabismus)
- Childhood vision screening
Protects a child's visual development for life.
The front surface of the eye — infections, ulcers and persistent irritation.
What this includes
- Eye infections
- Corneal ulcers
- Ocular surface disorders
Treats and protects the front of the eye before damage becomes permanent.
Drooping lids and watery eyes are treatable — and it's not only a cosmetic matter.
What this includes
- Eyelid disorders
- Tear duct problems
- Reconstructive eyelid surgery
Restores comfort and function, and protects the eye surface.
Glaucoma and diabetic eye disease often show no symptoms — until the damage is done.
A regular eye check with high-resolution retinal imaging catches tiny changes long before you'd notice anything. It's especially important if you have diabetes or high blood pressure, where the eye is often the first place trouble shows.
