<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision Express Medical , private surgery facility,  is located in Karlione Court, Rodney Bay, St Lucia. Head Surgeon Dr Alejandro Garcia makes weekly consultation visits to all branches of Vision Express. To make it easier for patients in Castries and Vieux Fort to make full use of the diagnostic equipment and treatments available in the Rodney Bay Surgery Centre, Vision Express now offer free accompanied transport from Vieux Fort and Castries once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a patient is diagnosed, for instance, with diabetic retinopathy,  a full diagnosis and treatment plan can be made using the New Zeiss Cirrus OCT in Vision Express Medical, Rodney Bay. Follow on treatment, with laser to seal the blood vessels, damaged by diabetes, can be done using the new  Iridex yellow laser equipment , or injections of Avastin or Lucentis can be given to help prevent further damage , both options also available in Vision Express Medical in Rodney Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glaucoma laser treatment is also sometimes an option, and the extent of damage for high intraoculat pressure can be checked with a full visual fields test or by using the OCT. Again both the visual fields equipment and the laser for glaucoma are available in Rodney Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you, or a loved one, are diagnosed with Cataracts, or decide to do Lens Replacement Surgery, the surgery facility at Rodney Bay offers full cataract removal with the Phaco equipment. On the surgery day it is preferable if a relative or friend accompanies the surgery patient, so this isn\u2019t normally offered by Vision Express. But, prior to the surgery day a full check up is needed and measurement taken for the intraocular lens to be ordered. This is done using an ultrasound scan in Vision Express Medical in Karlione Court and the patient will be accompanied by their local Vision Express branch Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

None of the above diagnosis and treatments are painful, and being accompanied to do them with  the local branch supervisor is the easiest way. As several patients will be traveling for treatment an early arrival in Rodney Bay and leaving mid afternoon is the preferred time frame. Patients who have had treatment are free to visit the Rodney Bay Malls and Vision Express Team will provide lunch and drinks throughout the day .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision Express work to provide the best service to all patients and are delighted to offer this new accompanied transport option to their customers in Vieux Fort and Castries to make full use of the range of the latest equipment for diagnosis and treatment of various  eye problems under the excellent care of  Retinal Surgeon , Dr Alejandro and his Professional Team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
