Conditions treated
Mr Than’s practice covers surgery inside the eye, the long-term medical care of retinal disease, and cataract surgery in eyes where it is more difficult than usual.
Vitreoretinal surgery
Retina and vitreous
Vitreoretinal surgery treats problems at the back of the eye. Most operations are a vitrectomy: the vitreous gel is removed through tiny ports so the surgeon can work directly on the retina, often finishing with a gas bubble or silicone oil to support it while it heals.

Complex cataract and lens
Cataract and lens surgery
Some eyes need more than routine cataract surgery: a pupil that does not widen, weak support for the lens, a very dense cataract, or previous retinal surgery. Careful planning and specialist techniques make these operations safer.

Medical retina
Macular and retinal disease
Many retinal conditions are managed without surgery, with detailed retinal imaging, injections into the eye and laser. These treatments are often long term, and regular monitoring protects sight.
