Our Skills
Your Doctor’s training was intense and prolonged. Seemingly insignificant tests are being tracked, collated and integrated into the vast stores of Opthalmological and biological knowledge with your individual history & unfolding test results. Did you know for example that to you, the seemingly simple Glare Test, can elucidate, when coupled with other test results, your cataract progression, glaucomatous retinal damage, macular degeneration & other eye disorders? We understand that our responsibility & duty is to educate our patients on the nature of their eye disorders, after some potentially uncomfortable eye tests. Doctor Lyon’s exquisite microsurgical skills were finely honed through the years as a PHD Electron Microscopist & developed with thousands of corneal, cataract & refractive surgeries, using diamond knives & laser on the eye. You may benefit from his incorporation of these tactile skills and attention to detail into your OculoFacial reconstructive surgery. We blend the tried and true with newest mini procedures & original techniques developed by Doctor himself. You can enjoy the benefits & results of this experience whilst freshening your looks, and rejuvenating the face you present to the world each day.
