Many eye diseases develop gradually, sometimes without noticeable symptoms until vision is affected.

For patients in Kingston and Linstead, Jamaica, an OCT eye scan provides detailed information that helps us detect, diagnose, and monitor various eye conditions.

If your child is becoming increasingly nearsighted, you may be looking for an alternative to relying on glasses or daytime contact lenses.

Jamaica’s sea breeze may feel refreshing, but it can also leave your eyes feeling red, dry, gritty, or irritated. Wind, salt, dust, pollen, and bright sunlight can all affect the tear film that protects the surface of your eyes. When that tear film becomes unstable, your eyes may feel scratchy even if you do not have an infection.
