Ophthalmology

The Ophthalmology Department at Barbados' Queen Elizabeth Hospital began its function in the 1970s and ever since that time, it has been easily considered one of the busiest departments in the Martindales Road facility.


With its ultra-modern equipment, including a YAG* laser, this department is able to accommodate those patients who have gone through surgeries for cataract and also acute and angle closure glaucoma.

 

*YAG is an acronym for yttrium-aluminum-garnet, the YAG laser produces short-pulsed, high-energy light beams to cut, perforate, or fragment tissue. This laser may also be called a neodymium-YAG or ND-YAG laser.

 

The extensiveness of this department is such that it also provides oculoplastic services which is a form of plastic surgery of the eye, eyelids and ocular muscles. This form of surgery caters to patients with droopy eyelids, those who need repairs done to tear duct obstructions and with tumours in the vicinity of the eyes.

 

This high level of eye care on the island of Barbados is as a result of the exposure consultants have to first world technology and their consistency in keeping abreasts with updated technologies.
