Laser surgery has become increasingly popular as an alternative method of treating pressure.
New revolutionary device for the treatment of dry eyes due to Blepharitis/Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the E-Eye IPL machine.
About 10% of people who have macular degeneration have the wet form, but it can cause more damage to your central or detail vision than the dry form.
Wet macular degeneration occurs when abnormal blood vessels begin to grow underneath the retina. This blood vessel growth is called choroidal neovascularization (CNV) because these vessels grow from the layer under the retina called the choroid. These new blood vessels may leak fluid or blood, blurring or distorting central vision. Vision loss from this form of macular degeneration may be faster and more noticeable than that from dry macular degeneration.
Wet Macular Degeneration Treatment
The earlier that wet macular degeneration is diagnosed and treated, the better chance you have of preserving some or much of your central vision.
Treating the wet form of macular degeneration may involve the use of anti-VEGF treatment, thermal laser treatment. Treatment of wet macular degeneration generally reduces but does not eliminate the risk of severe vision loss.

Mr. Golchin and his team are wonderful, efficient, very professional and always helpful and kind. I was very nervous about having cataract surgery- I needed both eyes operated on and had them done two months apart. Everyone at the Bon Secours Hospital in Cork was reassuring and caring. Mr. Golchin came and spoke to me before each operation and was very understanding. The procedure itself was really straight forward. I can't believe the difference the operations have made to my sight, which is now really clear and sharp- it's like having my young eyes back again! A huge thank you to Mr. Golchin and his staff, I feel very lucky to have such excellent eye care.
