A full assessment with a consultant ophthalmologist, including imaging where indicated.
What is involved
Anyone with a symptom, a referral, or a condition needing monitoring
The appointment everything else follows. Vision and pressure are measured, the front of the eye is examined at the slit lamp, and — after dilating drops — the retina and optic nerve are examined and imaged. You will be told what has been found and what the options are before you leave, and it is confirmed in writing.
What the appointment includes
How it works
01
Come with a letter from your optometrist or GP, or contact us directly. Bring any previous scans and your current spectacle prescription.
02
A consultant examines and images the eye in one visit. Allow up to two hours and arrange not to drive afterwards.
03
What has been found, what the options are, what each involves and what it costs — in writing, and copied to your optometrist with your consent.
04
Day-case surgery or in-clinic treatment, carried out by the consultant who assessed you.
05
Scheduled follow-up at the intervals the condition needs, with your optometrist kept informed.
No, you can contact us directly. If you do have a letter from your optometrist or GP, bring it — along with any previous scans — because it saves repeating tests you have already had.
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.
