We have recently welcomed Dr. Emmanuel Cadet a highly experienced ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon to our team. With Dr. Cadet’s expertise, we are now offering a comprehensive range of advanced surgical procedures, including anterior eye surgery, surgical management of Cataracts, Glaucoma, Corneal trauma/eye lid and peri-orbital trauma, along with management of Retinopathy, including Avastin injections. Dr Cadet is not a visiting specialist but rather resident in the islands.
Our commitment to providing high-quality medical care remains unwavering, as we strive to enhance the medical services available to our patients within the Turks and Caicos Islands. We are committed to delivering exceptional ophthalmic care that aligns with the highest standards of quality and professionalism.
Our goal is to ensure a seamless experience for physicians and patients seeking specialised ophthalmic care at Grace Bay Medical Centre; in addition to our clinical services, I am pleased to inform you that we have implemented a streamlined referral system to facilitate patient transfers and consultations with our ophthalmology department.
Ophthalmologists treat a wide range of conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, conjunctivitis (pink eye), dry eye syndrome, refractive errors (such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), and eye injuries.
The frequency of eye exams depends on age, health, and risk factors:
Common signs include blurred vision, sudden vision loss, eye pain, double vision, flashes of light, floaters, redness, excessive tearing, or discharge from the eyes. Regular eye exams are also important, even if you do not have symptoms, to detect early signs of eye disease.
To schedule an appointment, please contact our clinic by phone at 941-5983. Our staff will assist you in finding a convenient time for your visit and provide any necessary pre-appointment instructions.
