OPHTHALMOLOGY
At Safarian and Simon, we prioritise eyecare.
After investing heavily in diagnostic equipment, we are able to refer even more accurately to the correct Ophthalmologist for further investigation or treatment. Rather than being told to go a particular hospital or search out your own Ophthalmologist, we have recommended surgeons, who have worked closely with Safarian and Simon for over a decade, to give you the best eyecare possible. They refer to us for Dry eye and Dry AMD treatments.
