Diagnosed or referred

You have a clear next step, and a clear plan to follow.

Many people arrive here after a diagnosis, or with a referral from their optometrist or GP. That is exactly how it should work. Dr Gupta is a cataract and corneal sub-specialist, so conditions of the lens and cornea are a core focus of the practice. Below are the medical treatments we provide in Adelaide. Some conditions, including cataract, need a referral before we can see you, and we will help you sort that out.

Cataract Surgery

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that gradually blurs vision. Surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, with premium lens options available for those who want to reduce their reliance on glasses.

Keratoconus / Cross-linking

Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision over time. Corneal cross-linking is a treatment designed to strengthen the cornea and help slow the progression of the condition.

Pterygium Treatment

A pterygium is a fleshy growth on the surface of the eye, often linked to sun and wind exposure. When it becomes uncomfortable or affects vision, it can be removed surgically, with techniques aimed at reducing the chance of it returning.
