FAQ
What type of eye care does BIIO provide?

BIIO provides specialist ophthalmology services for a wide range of eye and vision concerns, including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal conditions and refractive errors.

Who is the ophthalmologist at BIIO?

Dr. Vellore Chandran Parthasarathy, also known as Dr. VC, is a consultant ophthalmologist at BIIO. His specialist areas include paediatric ophthalmology, squint and micro-incision cataract surgery.

What eye conditions can BIIO assess and manage?

The clinic provides care for conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, dry eye, retinal problems, refractive errors, amblyopia and strabismus.

How is an ophthalmologist different from an optician?

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specialising in eye and vision care who can diagnose eye diseases and perform surgery. An optician primarily provides and fits eyewear such as glasses and contact lenses.

Does BIIO provide both medical and surgical eye treatments?

Yes. BIIO provides medical management alongside procedures including cataract surgery, glaucoma laser treatments, retinal treatments and laser vision correction.

Why might patients choose BIIO for ongoing eye care?

BIIO combines consultant ophthalmology with diagnostic equipment and treatment options at its Hamilton clinic, allowing patients to access specialist assessment and ongoing management locally.

Can BIIO help patients with cataracts?

Yes. Cataract assessment and surgery are among BIIO's core services, including intraocular lens options designed to improve vision following cataract removal.

Should patients have their eyes checked even if they have no symptoms?

Regular checks can be important because conditions such as glaucoma and some retinal disorders may progress without obvious early symptoms. BIIO encourages patients to arrange routine eye checks to help identify potential problems.

How can patients book an appointment with BIIO?

Patients can call 441-232-3937 to ask questions or arrange an eye appointment. The Hamilton practice is located at 129 Front Street, 2nd Floor, Ingham and Wilkinson Building.
