FAQ's

You should consider a cardiac consultation if you experience symptoms such as chest discomfort, breathlessness, unusual tiredness, dizziness, palpitations or reduced exercise tolerance. People with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease may also benefit from regular evaluation.

A cardiac consultation generally includes a discussion of your symptoms, medical history and risk factors, followed by an appropriate physical examination. Depending on your condition, the doctor may recommend tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram or stress test for further evaluation.

A 2D ECHO is a non-invasive ultrasound examination of the heart. It produces images that help assess the heart chambers, valves, muscle function and blood flow. It may be recommended for evaluating symptoms or monitoring an existing heart condition.

TTE, or transthoracic echocardiography, creates heart images using a transducer placed on the chest and is the commonly used form of echocardiography. TEE, or transesophageal echocardiography, uses a specialized probe positioned through the esophagus to obtain more detailed images when required.

A cardiac stress test may be recommended when a doctor needs to understand how the heart performs during physical activity. It can be useful when evaluating certain symptoms, assessing exercise-related heart function or monitoring selected cardiac conditions.

Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the coronary arteries and identify narrowing or blockages. The findings can help a cardiologist understand blood flow through the coronary arteries and plan appropriate treatment when necessary.

Chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, unusual fatigue and reduced ability to perform normal physical activities can be reasons to seek medical evaluation. The appropriate assessment depends on the symptoms and individual medical history.

An eye examination may be useful if you experience blurred vision, difficulty seeing clearly, frequent headaches, eye discomfort, changes in vision or difficulty with reading or distance vision. Regular examinations can also help identify certain eye conditions at an earlier stage.

Cataracts can cause gradually blurred or cloudy vision, difficulty seeing in low light, increased sensitivity to bright light, faded colours and frequent changes in spectacle power. An eye examination can determine whether cataracts are affecting vision.

Cataract treatment depends on the severity of the condition and its effect on daily activities. When a cataract significantly affects vision, cataract surgery may be considered. During surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens.

LASIK is a refractive eye procedure designed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses for suitable patients. Eligibility depends on factors such as eye health, corneal condition, refractive error and the results of a detailed eye examination.

Squint, also known as strabismus, occurs when the eyes do not align properly. Treatment depends on the cause, age and severity and may include glasses, exercises, medical treatment or surgery in selected cases. A detailed ophthalmic assessment is important before deciding on treatment.

Children should have their vision assessed when there are concerns such as frequent eye rubbing, difficulty seeing, abnormal eye alignment, headaches, difficulty reading or unusual head positioning. Pediatric eye assessment can help identify vision problems that may affect development and learning.

Pediatric ophthalmology focuses on eye conditions affecting infants, children and adolescents. Assessment may include vision evaluation, eye alignment, refractive errors and other childhood eye problems. Early identification can help support normal visual development.
