Cataract and Refractive Eye Surgery
Alongside his corneal work, Mr Jayaswal has extensive experience in cataract and refractive surgery, providing both laser- and lens-based options for patients seeking improved vision and reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
His expertise allows him to assess patients with more complex prescriptions or corneal conditions where choosing the appropriate form of vision correction requires specialist corneal and anterior segment knowledge.
