About this clinic
Specialist eye care at The Forbury, Reading
Our Forbury clinic on Craven Road, in central Reading, offers consultant-delivered private ophthalmology for patients across Berkshire and the Thames Valley — including Caversham, Wokingham, Henley-on-Thames, Newbury and Maidenhead — usually with an appointment within one to two weeks and no NHS waiting list.
You are seen by the same consultant ophthalmic surgeon throughout: from your first assessment and biometry, into theatre, and on to your follow-up reviews. There are no rotating clinicians and no junior handovers, so you never have to repeat your history.
The clinic provides the full pathway for adult eye conditions — most commonly cataract surgery and oculoplastic (eyelid) procedures, alongside glaucoma care, vitreoretinal surgery and treatment for age-related macular degeneration. Self-pay patients and all major UK insurers are welcome.
