Modern diagnostic technology, OCT, fundus imaging, visual field testing, supports same-day decision making, and laser and microsurgical theatres allow most procedures as day cases.

Frequently asked

Questions before you book.

  • Most stable refractive errors with healthy corneas qualify. A pre-LASIK assessment with corneal mapping confirms suitability.

  • When the cataract limits driving, reading or daily activities. Surgery is one of the most successful operations performed.

  • Early disease can be stabilised with laser, injections and tight diabetes control. Late changes can be limited but not reversed; early screening is key.

  • Glaucoma is controlled, not cured. Drops, laser or surgery slow progression to preserve vision.

  • Sudden visual loss is a medical emergency. Our eye casualty offers same-day specialist review.

  • Yes. Paediatric ophthalmology assesses squint, lazy eye, refractive error and congenital problems in age-appropriate clinics.
