Information about the service |
The service provides for all types of eye conditions for both adults and children.
The service includes a full ocular examination and documentation if necessary (e.g. photography of the back of the eye), scanning and mapping, and provides orthoptic and low vision services. Any surgical or laser intervention will be explained by the ophthalmic nursing team following consultation and a provisional date for the procedure given. Surgery is performed Monday to Friday on our day case unit where the majority of patients have their surgery performed under local anaesthetic and are discharged home soon after their surgery. A referral to the service is made through your GP, Optician or the emergency department. |
