Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon
Cataract and refractive lens surgery
Carries out cataract and lens replacement surgery and sees the assessments that precede them. Assesses and operates on every one of their own patients, which is the practice’s standing arrangement rather than a preference.
Book a consultationEye conditions
Eye conditions we treat
What each condition is, what people notice first, and when it needs to be looked at.
Cataract
Clouding of the eye’s natural lens — the commonest reason for surgery in adults over sixty.
Glaucoma
Damage to the optic nerve, usually painless, and irreversible once vision is lost.
Age-related macular degeneration
Deterioration at the centre of the retina, affecting the detailed vision you read with.
Dry eye and blepharitis
Gritty, watery, tired eyes — extremely common, frequently misdiagnosed, and very treatable.
Short sight, long sight and astigmatism
Focusing errors that spectacles correct — and that surgery can sometimes remove the need for.
Diabetic eye disease
Damage to the retinal blood vessels, which is why annual screening exists.
Floaters and flashes
Usually harmless and age-related — but a sudden change needs to be looked at quickly.
Appointments
Book a consultation
Consultations are with a consultant ophthalmologist. Allow up to two hours: most examinations involve dilating drops, and you should not plan to drive afterwards.

- Somebody will come back to you with a time. Nothing is booked until you have heard from us.
- When you write
- It is how we book the right length of appointment. You do not need to go into detail.
- Urgent
- Telephone the practice rather than using the form.
