We are committed to preserving and enhancing your vision through personalized and effective treatment plans.
Our Expertise
Dr. Ghulam F. Dogar brings extensive experience and a profound commitment to the field of retinal treatment, backed by advanced training from prestigious institutions in Ireland and the UK. His expertise encompasses the management of diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and retinal vascular occlusive disorders.
Diagnostic Services
Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to accurately diagnose and monitor retinal conditions:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT Angiography (OCT A): These non-invasive imaging tests provide detailed images of the retina, helping in the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the retinal layers.
Wide Angle Fundus Photography: Essential for documenting the current status of the retina and for monitoring disease progression over time.
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography: Used to evaluate blood circulation in the retina and to identify any leakage or abnormalities in the blood vessels.
Treatment Options
We offer comprehensive treatment strategies tailored to the specific needs of each patient:
Intravitreal Injections: Effective for conditions such as AMD, diabetic macular edema, and retinal vein occlusions. These injections deliver medication directly to the area affected by disease.
Retinal Laser Therapy:
Panretinal Photocoagulation: Used primarily for proliferative diabetic retinopathy, this laser treatment helps shrink abnormal blood vessels in the retina.
Focal Laser Treatment: Targets specific areas of the retina to treat localized leakage, often used in diabetic retinopathy.
Managing Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a common vascular retinal disease that affects individuals with diabetes. At Huron Perth Eye Clinic, we emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and regular monitoring to prevent vision loss. Treatment options vary from laser therapy to intravitreal injections, depending on the severity and type of diabetic retinopathy.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Management
AMD is one of the leading causes of vision loss in older adults. Our clinic offers treatments for both dry and wet AMD, utilizing dietary supplements based on the latest research for dry AMD and advanced wet AMD treatments like intravitreal injections to help maintain vision and slow disease progression.
Commitment to Patient Care
At Huron Perth Eye Clinic, your vision is our priority. We strive to provide not only the best clinical care but also a compassionate environment where patients feel supported and informed about their treatment options.
