12 eye-surgery providers within 10 miles of central Birmingham hold their own registration with the Care Quality Commission - independent-sector clinics and eye hospitals registered for surgical procedures, listed below from the register of 1 October 2026 with the rating the CQC has published for each. The nearest to the centre is ACES Birmingham Hospital, 0.5 miles away.
10 of the 12 belong to groups that operate across England - Optical Express (2), SpaMedica (2), CHEC (2), Optegra, Optimax / Ultralase, Newmedica, Accuvision - and 2 are run by a single-site or two-site practice. 10 of the 12 have a published CQC overall rating: 1 Outstanding, 9 Good. The ratings were published between 2 January 2018 and 16 January 2026, so check the date next to each one - a rating is a snapshot of an inspection, not a running score. Going by the clinics’ own or their operators’ websites, which we were able to read for 9 of the 12, they have pages on cataract surgery (9), YAG laser (7), lens replacement (6), glaucoma treatment (6), macular and retinal treatment (6), laser eye surgery (5).

General private hospitals within 10 miles
These are registered as acute hospitals with surgical procedures, not as eye clinics. The register does not say whether a hospital offers eye surgery, so this list is here for completeness: check the hospital’s own site before you rely on it.

How to use this list
The register tells you who is registered, for what, where and how the CQC rated them. It does not tell you prices, waiting times or which surgeon you would see; for those, go to the clinic’s own site through the link on its row. No clinic on this page has paid to appear and none is a partner of Eye Surgery Clinic - we have no partner clinic covering Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and Sutton Coldfield at present, so an enquiry made here is not passed to any of them.
