Book a private eye appointment from Romsey
This page is for patients in Romsey looking for a trusted private route for eye surgery and specialist eye procedures. Whether you’ve been told you have cataracts, you’re noticing worsening glare and reduced night vision, or you’re concerned about eyelid droop or irritation, the safest first step is a consultant assessment.
We’ll take time to understand your symptoms and day-to-day impact, review previous prescriptions or reports if you have them, and confirm whether surgery is appropriate now—or whether monitoring or non-surgical treatment makes more sense.

What to expect: assessment to aftercare
Patients travelling from Romsey often want to know how many visits are needed and what happens at each stage. While every plan is individual, the pathway below describes a typical private experience.
- Appointment request – Submit the form and tell us your symptoms and availability.

FAQs – Romsey private eye appointments
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-refer using the form on this page. If you have optician notes or previous letters, they can be helpful but aren’t essential.
How soon should I book for cataract symptoms?
If glare, blur, or reduced contrast is affecting driving, reading or daily tasks, an assessment is sensible. We’ll confirm if symptoms are cataract-related and whether timing is right.
Can you help if my eyelids are drooping?
Yes. Oculoplastics consultations assess lid position, comfort, and whether the issue is functional (affecting vision) or primarily cosmetic. We’ll explain options and suitability.
Will I be able to drive home?
Often, dilation drops used during assessment can blur vision for several hours. Plan for someone to drive you, or use public transport/taxi if needed.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring your current glasses, a list of medications, and any relevant letters or scan results. If you use eye drops, bring the names (or the bottles).
What if surgery isn’t suitable for me?
We’ll explain why and outline alternatives—such as monitoring, prescription changes, or other treatments—so you still leave with a practical plan.
