Frequently asked questions

For most healthy adults, a complete eye examination every one to two years is reasonable. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, have diabetes, are over 40, or notice any change in vision, more frequent checks are advised. Dr. Shah will recommend an interval suited to you.

Children benefit from an eye examination before starting school, and sooner if you notice squinting, sitting very close to screens, frequent headaches or a turned eye. Conditions such as lazy eye respond best to early treatment.

Persistent dryness, grittiness, watering or tired eyes are worth evaluating. A dry eye assessment can identify the cause and guide simple, effective management. Book a general eye check-up to have it looked at.

No referral is needed. You can request an appointment directly through this website, by calling the clinic, or via WhatsApp.

Common signs include gradually blurring or hazy vision, glare from lights, faded colours and needing more light to read. Only an eye examination can confirm a cataract — surgery is considered when it begins to affect your daily life.

The surgery itself typically takes only 3–5 minutes per eye. It is performed as a day-care procedure under anaesthetic eye drops, and you go home the same day.

Vision usually starts to clear within a day or two. Many patients return to light routine work the next day, with most normal activities resumed within about a week. You will receive a personalised recovery plan.

That depends on your eyes and your lifestyle. Options include standard monofocal lenses, Toric lenses for astigmatism, and Multifocal lenses that can reduce dependence on glasses. Dr. Shah will explain the choices honestly so you can decide.

Suitability depends on your spectacle power, corneal thickness and shape, and overall eye health. A detailed LASIK screening is needed to confirm candidacy — and Dr. Shah will tell you directly if LASIK is not the right option for you.

LASIK is performed under anaesthetic eye drops and is generally painless, though you may feel mild pressure during the procedure. Some dryness or scratchiness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few weeks.

Conventional LASIK uses a standard treatment profile; Customised (wavefront-guided) LASIK maps the treatment to your individual eye; and Bladeless LASIK uses a laser rather than a blade to create the corneal flap. The right approach is discussed at your screening.

Use the appointment request form on the Contact page, call the clinic, or message us on WhatsApp. The clinic will call you back to confirm a time within one business day.
