Book a consultationEye conditions
What each condition is, what people notice first, and when it needs to be looked at.
Clouding of the eye’s natural lens — the commonest reason for surgery in adults over sixty.
Damage to the optic nerve, usually painless, and irreversible once vision is lost.
Deterioration at the centre of the retina, affecting the detailed vision you read with.
Gritty, watery, tired eyes — extremely common, frequently misdiagnosed, and very treatable.
Focusing errors that spectacles correct — and that surgery can sometimes remove the need for.
Damage to the retinal blood vessels, which is why annual screening exists.
Usually harmless and age-related — but a sudden change needs to be looked at quickly.
Appointments
Consultations are with a consultant ophthalmologist. Allow up to two hours: most examinations involve dilating drops, and you should not plan to drive afterwards.
