Consultations / Specialist Consultation

When the answer needs subspecialty depth.

Some questions go beyond a general consultation. Cataract planning, retina disease, glaucoma, and refractive surgery decisions require subspecialty training and experience. Both our doctors have a subspecialty, and every consultation is designed so the recommendation matches the expertise in the room.

What we cover

What a specialist consultation covers

Refractive vision correction

LASIK, PRK, SMILE — planned by Dr. Artem after corneal topography and full anterior segment review.

Cataract

Lens-based surgery with biometry, IOL choice, and the conversation about what each lens type actually does.

Presbyopic Lens Exchange

eye surgery is an advanced treatment designed for individuals experiencing difficulty with near vision, especially due to aging.

Retina

Detachment, tears, macular disease — assessed with OCT and indirect ophthalmoscopy by the vitreo-retinal lead.

Diabetic eye disease

Screening, staging and treatment of diabetic retinopathy and macular oedema, with imaging that maps the change over time.

The recommendation is only as good as the imaging behind it. We don't shortcut that part — for any patient, ever.

Subspecialty work means the difference between a workable answer and the right one. The imaging takes the time it takes; the conversation that follows is built on what the scans actually show.

Common questions about specialist consultation

A general consultation answers most questions for most people. A specialist consultation is for cases that need subspecialty depth: surgical planning, retinal disease, refractive suitability, complex glaucoma. The doctor in front of you is the one who treats those conditions weekly — not a generalist who refers them on.

Yes, that's a reasonable use of a specialist visit. Bring the imaging and reports from the first opinion if you have them. We'll review what was found, take our own measurements, and tell you whether we'd suggest the same plan, a different one, or watchful waiting. The honest answer matters more than agreeing with a colleague.

At a partner hospital nearby, equipped to international surgical standards. The same EEC doctor who plans the case operates and follows up. We'll walk you through the theatre, the team, and the equipment well before any decision is made.

A referral is never needed. You can book a specialist consultation directly. If you've been referred, please bring the letter and any imaging — both help us start from where the previous doctor finished, rather than from scratch. Without a referral, we simply build the picture from the visit itself.
