Overview

Ophthalmology is the specialty for eye and vision care. At VRA Health you can consult eye specialists online for common eye complaints, medicine reviews and guidance on cataract, glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, with clear advice on when a clinic examination is needed.

Conditions we help with

  • Red, itchy, watering or dry eyes
  • Eye allergies and recurring styes
  • Cataract - when to consider surgery
  • Glaucoma medicine reviews and report interpretation

  • Spectacle and vision concerns

When should you consult?

Consult an eye specialist for any persistent eye discomfort, to understand a diagnosis you have been given, or to plan cataract or other eye surgery. Sudden vision loss, severe pain, new flashes and floaters, or any eye injury are emergencies that need an eye hospital immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an ophthalmologist treat?

Ophthalmologists treat diseases of the eye - redness, irritation, dry eyes, allergies, styes, cataract, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and vision problems.

Which eye problems suit an online consultation?

Red or itchy eyes, dryness, watering, styes, lid problems, medicine reviews and interpretation of previous eye reports work well on video. Detailed vision testing and internal eye examination need clinic equipment.

I have diabetes. Why do I need eye check-ups?

Diabetes can silently damage the retina before vision changes are noticed. An annual dilated eye examination catches this early, when treatment is most effective. An online consultation can review your reports and plan the right schedule.

Which eye symptoms are emergencies?

Sudden loss or blurring of vision, severe eye pain, flashes and floaters appearing suddenly, chemical splashes or eye injuries need immediate in-person care at an eye hospital - do not wait for an online appointment.
