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.
