What we treat

Explained in plain English, without the jargon.

Cataract

The lens inside your eye slowly becomes cloudy. An operation replaces it with a clear artificial lens.

Glaucoma

Damage to the nerve at the back of the eye, often linked to raised pressure. Regular checks and treatment help protect your sight.

Macular conditions

Changes at the centre of the retina, the part you use for reading and recognising faces. Some types are treated with injections into the eye.
