Ophthalmology

Our eye surgeons treat conditions that affect your vision and the health of your eyes and eyelids, using modern equipment and techniques. Most eye procedures are done under local anaesthetic, and you go home the same day.

Replacing a cloudy lens
The cloudy natural lens of the eye is gently broken up with ultrasound and removed, and a clear artificial lens is put in its place. Most people notice clearer vision within days.

Removing a growth on the eye
A fleshy growth on the white of the eye that can spread onto the cornea and affect vision is removed.

Lowering pressure in the eye
Creates a new drainage path for fluid in the eye, or places a small valve, to lower eye pressure and protect your sight.

Treatment for retina conditions
Medicine is injected into the eye to treat conditions such as macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.

Surgery at the back of the eye
The gel inside the eye is removed to repair the retina, for example after a retinal detachment, bleeding or diabetic damage.

Straightening the eyes
The eye muscles are adjusted so that both eyes line up and work together.

Removing excess eyelid skin
Removes extra skin and fat from the eyelids, which can improve appearance and, in some cases, clear the field of vision.

Lifting a drooping eyelid
Raises an upper eyelid that droops and covers part of the eye.

Correcting an eyelid that turns in or out
Fixes an eyelid that turns inward (so the lashes rub the eye) or outward (causing dry, irritated eyes).

Removing an eyelid lump
Removes a painless lump on the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland.

Replacing a damaged cornea
A damaged or cloudy cornea, the clear front window of the eye, is replaced with healthy donor tissue.

Unblocking a tear duct
Opens a blocked tear duct that causes constant watery eyes, often in babies and young children.

Full eye check while asleep
A complete eye examination done under anaesthetic, usually for young children who cannot sit still for testing.
