The Eye Clinic Team

Raawiyah Mohamudally BA COT, Chief Ophthalmic Technician

Raawiyah worked as a pre-primary school teacher before she joined The Eye Clinic in 2017. She is gifted with great patience and will give you all the time you need! Raawiyah has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities and is the first in Mauritius to be accredited as a Certified Ophthalmic Technician by the International Joint Commission On Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (IJCAHPO). She has been awarded the IWantGreatCare Certificate of Excellence for 2021.

Abdullah Munglah, Ophthalmic Nurse Practitioner

Abdullah joined The Eye Clinic in September 2022 having recently completed his Diploma in Nursing from Polytechnics Mauritius. He has a keen interest in ophthalmology, is a quick learner and handles the slit-lamp like a pro! He is preparing for accreditation as a Certified Ophthalmic Assistant and will also be pursuing a degree in Nursing.

Nedjema Chaabane-Rajah MMedSci COA, Ophthalmic Assistant

Nedjema is a born academic. She has a Master of Medical Science from The University of Glasgow where she has also taught and conducted research. After moving to Mauritius, she worked as a Senior Lecturer at Apollo Bramwell Nursing School. A short career break later, we managed to “steal” her! Nedjema has an insatiable appetite for new knowledge and as of the 8th March 2021 is the second to hold the accreditation of Certified Ophthalmic Assistant in Mauritius.

Pamela Manikum, Housekeeping

Without Pamela's dedication to keeping The Eye Clinic at its best all the time, we quite simply would not be able to function. She is an accomplished home-maker who looks after The Eye Clinic's premises with great care and attention to cleanliness and hygiene. We are very grateful to her for her fantastic work.

Om Anand Ramphul, Logistics

Meet our inhouse superhero! He can fix anything and always responds when called to the rescue. Like all superheroes, he is rarely seen at headquarters (The Eye Clinic). You may spot him at the controls of our TECmobile, if you are lucky.

Services

Vitreoretinal Surgery

Microincisional (25G/27G) vitrectomy using the finest instruments is our standard approach. We treat retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, complications from diabetic retinopathy, amongst others.

Lens Surgery

We offer microincisional cataract and lens exchange surgery using premium monofocal, monofocal plus and multifocal implants to achieve freedom from spectacles and contact lenses.

Intravitreal Therapy

Patients with sight-threatening conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and vein occlusion require frequent injections of drugs like ranibizumab, aflibercept and dexamethasone into the eye. We only use licensed, approved medications.

Retinal Laser

Laser to the retina is required in a number of different situations. In Mauritius, advanced diabetic retinopathy is by far the most common indication. Laser is also required to treat breaks in order to prevent retinal detachment.

YAG Laser

YAG laser allows precise incisions to be made without actually resorting to surgery. It is the treatment of choice for posterior capsular opacification (secondary cataract) and in acute glaucoma.

Diode Laser

The Eye Clinic is the first in Mauritius to offer sight-saving conventional diode laser treatment; a measure of last resort for the most severe cases of glaucoma. We also offer newer micropulse treatment (μCPC) which can help to delay or avoid filtration surgery,

Optical Coherence Tomography

OCT is an indispensable diagnostic tool in managing diseases of the retina. The Eye Clinic offers an in-house service.

Visual Field Testing

We offer automated perimetry using revolutionary technology based on a virtual reality platform. Visual field testing is essential in managing glaucoma and evaluating patients with neuro-ophthalmological complaints.

Digital Ophthalmic Photography

We offer an immersive patient experience made possible through the use of sophisticated imaging devices which allow patients and their relatives to witness, in real time, findings from their visit to The Eye Clinic. We are proudly the first to have introduced Optomap ultrawide field retinal imaging in Mauritius.

Ophthalmic Ultrasound

We proudly own Sonomed-Escalon's ultrasound device which allows us to "look into" the eye when light no longer travels in. Our patients with complex vitreoretinal problems and neglected cataract benefit enormously from this technology being at hand.

Corneal Topography

We offer in-house corneal topography and aberrometry for the benefit of patients having premium cataract and lens exchange surgery. Built-in algorithms within our topographer also allow the detection and monitoring of keratoconus.

Siven, as we affectionately knew him, contributed enormously to growing The Eye Clinic into the state-of-the facility that it is. With him around, we felt we could bring anything from anywhere in the world to serve our patients. A real gem, he passed away peacefully in late 2021.
