Appointments for cataracts, oculoplastics and more
Not sure which appointment type you need? That's common. Use the form and select “Not sure”, and we'll guide you. Below is a helpful overview of common reasons patients book a private eye consultation in the UK.
Cataract appointments
If you've noticed cloudy vision, glare from headlights, or colours looking faded, a cataract assessment can confirm whether cataracts are the cause and what your options are. Request a cataract consultation and include any prior optician notes if available. Learn more about cataract surgery.
Oculoplastics (eyelid) appointments
Eyelid concerns can be functional (affecting vision or comfort) or cosmetic. We assess the underlying cause and outline suitable treatment routes. Request an oculoplastics consultation and describe what's changed and how long it's been present. Read about oculoplastics.
General ophthalmology & second opinions
For ongoing eye discomfort, changes in vision, or if you want clarity on a diagnosis, a specialist appointment can help you make an informed decision.
Follow-up care planning
If you have already had an assessment elsewhere, we can discuss next steps, timings and how follow-ups typically work in a private pathway.
Consultation costs, payment & what's included
Private eye care is an investment in your vision and confidence. Costs vary depending on the clinician, tests required and the complexity of your case. We aim to be clear about what's included and what may be optional.
Typical inclusions (consultation)
- Specialist review of symptoms and medical history
- Discussion of likely diagnosis and treatment options
- Explanation of benefits, risks and recovery expectations
- Next-step plan (tests, follow-up, or procedure pathway)
How to get an accurate quote
The quickest way is to submit the appointment form and briefly describe your needs. If you already know the procedure you're considering, mention it and include any prior assessments. If finance or staged payments are important to you, note that in your message so our team can explain what options may be available.
Important: A consultation is a clinical assessment. Any procedure is only recommended if appropriate for your eyes and overall health.
Make an appointment: FAQs
Do I need a GP or optician referral?
Not always. You can request a private appointment directly. If you do have a referral or optician letter, it can be helpful—mention it in your message.
How quickly can I be seen?
Availability varies by clinician and appointment type. Submit the form and we'll confirm the next suitable options based on your needs.
What if I'm not sure which procedure I need?
That's exactly what the consultation is for. Choose “Not sure” in the form and describe your symptoms. We'll direct you to the right appointment type.
Can I book cataract surgery without a consultation?
A specialist consultation and appropriate assessment are essential to confirm suitability, discuss lens options, and plan safe treatment.
Is eyelid surgery always cosmetic?
No. Some eyelid issues affect vision, comfort, or eye health. Your appointment will clarify the underlying cause and suitable treatment routes.
What should I write in the message box?
Include symptoms, how long you've had them, any diagnosis you've been given, and your preferred days/times. If you wear contact lenses, mention that too.
