Supporting Sensory Needs
Problems with vision have a huge effect on your daily life. We appreciate the stress they can bring and offer prompt support.
This is often for conditions such as glaucoma, or cataracts, although other issues can occur. The first step is careful diagnosis, through knowledge and advanced equipment.
A personal treatment plan will be formulated by your consultant. Every proven option is available, from medication, to surgery, or injections for conditions such as macular degeneration.
There are cases where a condition is related to other medical problems, perhaps thyroid disease, or trauma. This is naturally factored in and cross department support offered where appropriate.
Our hospital and our ophthalmologists in particular are here to see the most vital of senses restored. So you can set concerns aside and enjoy an important part of life again.
