Acerca de

Mr Gareth Higgins is an ophthalmologist.
As an ophthalmologist, Mr Higgins is a specialist in medical and surgical eye care. Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders of the eyes. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who have completed specialised training in the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions. They are qualified to perform eye exams, diagnose eye diseases, prescribe medications, and perform eye surgery.
Ophthalmologists play a crucial role in maintaining and restoring vision. They work with patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly, addressing a wide range of eye conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
