Cataract surgery
Cataracts can make everyday life harder—driving at night, reading, recognising faces, or coping with bright light. A consultation confirms cataract severity and discusses the safest surgical route.
- Assessment of vision and cataract impact on daily activities
- Lens (IOL) discussion where clinically appropriate
- Clear expectations for recovery and follow-up
Oculoplastics (eyelid & tear duct)
Eyelid position and tear drainage problems can affect vision, comfort and confidence. A specialist review checks function as well as appearance.
- Blepharoplasty for heavy upper lids (where appropriate)
- Ptosis assessment (droopy eyelid) and correction planning
- Watery eyes and eyelid malposition assessment
Second opinions
If you’ve already been told you need surgery—or you’re unsure—an independent assessment can help you make a confident decision.
- Review of diagnosis and options
- Clarification of risks and benefits in plain English
- Documentation you can keep and share
Other specialist procedures
We can advise on suitability for a range of private ophthalmology procedures and refer internally as needed.
- Clinical assessment and signposting
- Pre-op checks and medication guidance
- Aftercare planning and follow-up schedule
Important: Any procedure is recommended only after an in-person clinical assessment. If you have sudden loss of vision, eye pain, flashing lights, a curtain/shadow in vision, or a new severe headache, seek urgent medical help.
What happens next: consultation to treatment
If you’re travelling from Portsmouth, it helps to know the usual pathway so you can plan work, transport and support at home. The exact steps depend on your condition and treatment type.

Preparation checklist for Portsmouth patients
Bring the right info
Medication list, relevant letters, your current glasses prescription, and a note of symptoms (when they started, what worsens them).
Plan transport
You may need someone to accompany you, particularly if your eyes are dilated or you’ve had a procedure. Arrange a lift/taxi in advance.
Allow time
Diagnostic testing and discussion can take longer than a standard appointment. We’d rather be thorough than rushed.
Costs, what influences pricing, and how to compare options
Private eye treatment costs vary based on the complexity of your case, required diagnostics, procedure type and aftercare needs. We aim to be clear about likely costs once you’ve had an assessment and a clinician has confirmed suitability.
| What you’re paying for | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Consultation & diagnostics | Confirms diagnosis and ensures the safest plan (e.g. cataract grading, eyelid function assessment). |
| Surgery/procedure fee | Covers clinical team time, theatre use (where applicable) and procedure-specific consumables. |
| Aftercare & follow-ups | Ensures healing is monitored and concerns are addressed quickly—important for outcomes. |
| Medication (if required) | Post-procedure drops/medication may be required depending on the treatment and your eye health. |
How to choose a provider (especially if travelling from Portsmouth)
Look for clinical transparency
You should understand what’s recommended, why it’s recommended, and what alternatives exist—before you commit.
Prioritise aftercare
When you’re coming from South Hampshire, follow-up scheduling and access to advice can be just as important as the procedure itself.
Want a tailored estimate? Submit the appointment request and mention your concern (cataracts/eyelids/other). We’ll advise what assessment is needed and discuss costs after clinical review.
FAQs – Portsmouth private eye surgery
Do I need a GP referral?
Not always. Many patients can self-refer privately. If you already have NHS letters or optometry reports, include that information in your form submission.
How quickly can I be seen?
Availability varies, but private appointments are often faster. Use the booking form and add preferred dates/times.
Can cataracts be treated without surgery?
Cataracts are typically managed with updated glasses early on, but surgery is the definitive treatment when cataracts significantly affect vision and daily life. Suitability is confirmed in consultation.
Is eyelid surgery purely cosmetic?
Not always. Heavy upper lids or ptosis can reduce your visual field and cause eye strain. An oculoplastics assessment considers both function and appearance.
Will I need someone to travel with me from Portsmouth?
For many appointments, dilation drops can blur vision temporarily, and procedures may require a chaperone. We’ll advise you in advance based on your planned visit.
What if I’m not suitable for surgery?
You’ll still benefit from clarity. If monitoring or another pathway is safer, we’ll explain why and outline what changes should prompt reassessment.
What patients value most
Every case is different, but patients commonly tell us they want the same essentials: clear explanations, respectful care, and a plan they can trust.
“I finally understood what was happening with my vision and what my options were. The explanation was calm and thorough.”
“The appointment felt organised. I received a clear next step rather than being left unsure.”
“Good aftercare guidance and practical advice for recovery. I knew what to do if I had concerns.”
Trust & safety: Your suitability is assessed clinically. We explain benefits, risks, and alternatives so you can make an informed decision.
