Eye Care Services

Care at Cape Town Eye Centre covers the full scope of ophthalmology. Dr Dony Mathew provides a structured assessment for both routine and more complex eye conditions.

Cataracts

Clouding of the lens can affect how clearly you see. Assessment helps determine how this is impacting your vision and whether further steps are needed.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma usually develops slowly, and many people do not notice any changes at first. Regular checks help pick up signs before they start affecting your vision.

The cornea is the window to the eye, and its clarity and shape play a key role in your vision. When affected, it can lead to changes in vision that require careful evaluation.

As a diabetic I need regular eye check-ups. Dr Mathew has been wonderful in monitoring my eye health and explaining how diabetes affects my vision. The practice is modern and well-run. I always feel like I'm in good hands at Cape Town Eye Centre.
