Eye surgery and treatments we offer

Our UK private clinic provides a consultant-led pathway for common and specialist eye conditions—focused on safe decision-making, realistic outcomes and attentive aftercare. If you’re researching treatment options, we can advise whether surgery is appropriate, whether monitoring is safer, or whether a referral to another specialist service would be better.

Cataract surgery

Cataracts can cause blurred, misty or faded vision, glare from headlights and reduced contrast. We assess vision, lifestyle needs and ocular health before recommending surgery and lens options.

  • Modern phacoemulsification with IOL implant
  • Guidance on lens choices where clinically suitable
  • Aftercare plan and follow-up included in your pathway
Check suitability

Oculoplastics & eyelid procedures

Eyelid heaviness, drooping, under-eye bags and eyelid malposition can affect comfort, eye health and sometimes vision. We provide careful assessment and explain what is medical vs cosmetic.

  • Ptosis assessment and treatment options
  • Upper/lower blepharoplasty where appropriate
  • Ectropion/entropion and eyelid lesion assessment

Other private eye procedures

If you’re unsure what you need, start with a specialist assessment. We can advise on appropriate investigations and treatment routes, including conservative management where best.

  • Dry eye evaluation and treatment planning
  • Assessment of floaters, flashes and visual changes
  • Second opinions and post-operative reviews

Why choose private eye treatment?

Choosing private eye care is often about clarity and control—knowing what the problem is, what your options are, and what will happen next. We focus on clinical suitability first, then on convenience.

Faster access

Get timely assessment, diagnostics and treatment scheduling—especially helpful when cataract symptoms are affecting daily life or driving confidence.

Consultant-led decisions

You’ll see a specialist who explains findings in plain UK English and sets out options, expected benefits, limitations and risks.

Structured aftercare

Recovery support matters. We provide clear post-treatment advice, safety-netting, and follow-up where clinically indicated.

Already under NHS care? You can still book a private second opinion or proceed privately. We’ll advise on what information to bring (e.g., optician report, hospital letters, medication list).

Your treatment pathway: what to expect

Whether you’re considering cataract surgery or an oculoplastics procedure, the steps below help you plan. Your clinician will confirm the most appropriate pathway for your eyes, health and goals.

  1. Enquiry & booking: Tell us what you’re experiencing. We’ll confirm the right appointment type and what to bring.
  2. Specialist consultation: Eye history, medications, lifestyle needs (e.g., driving, screens), and a full examination.
  3. Diagnostics: Where needed, we arrange measurements and imaging to guide safe planning (especially for cataracts and lens decisions).
  4. Shared decision-making: You’ll receive a clear recommendation, alternatives, and an explanation of risks and benefits.
  5. Treatment: Procedure performed with appropriate anaesthesia and a focus on comfort and safety.
  6. Aftercare: Written instructions, medication guidance, and follow-up scheduling with safety-netting advice.

Common questions we’ll cover in your consultation

Is surgery necessary now?
Sometimes monitoring is safer, or symptoms can be managed with other treatments.

What are the realistic outcomes?
We discuss what should improve, and what may not (depending on eye health).

What’s the recovery timeline?
Expected downtime, drops/aftercare, driving guidance and follow-up.

What are the risks?
Every procedure has risks; we explain how we reduce them and how to spot issues early.

Costs, pricing and what’s included

Private eye treatment pricing in the UK varies based on complexity, diagnostics required, theatre time and aftercare. We aim to be transparent: you’ll receive a clear explanation of expected costs after your clinical assessment.

Item Typically includes Notes
Consultation History, examination, discussion of options Further tests may be recommended depending on findings
Diagnostics Measurements and imaging as needed Particularly important for cataract/lens planning
Procedure Surgeon, theatre, anaesthesia, consumables Complexity and clinical risk can affect fees
Aftercare Post-op guidance, review schedule, safety-netting We clarify what follow-ups are included in your plan

Good to know: We will never recommend a procedure that isn’t clinically appropriate. Your consultation is the right place to ask about outcomes, lens options (for cataracts), scarring (for eyelids), and recovery timelines.

Eligibility and safety considerations

Suitability depends on your eye health, general health and what you want to achieve. During your assessment we review your medical history, current medications and any previous eye surgery to reduce risk and set safe expectations.

You may be a good candidate if…

  • Your symptoms affect daily life (driving, reading, screens, comfort)
  • You can attend follow-up and use prescribed drops (if needed)
  • Your eyes are healthy enough for the recommended procedure
  • You understand likely outcomes and limitations

We’ll take extra care if you have…

  • Diabetes, glaucoma, macular conditions or significant dry eye
  • Blood-thinning medication (we’ll advise what to do pre-op)
  • Previous eye surgery or complex prescriptions
  • Symptoms that could indicate urgent eye disease (we’ll direct you appropriately)

Treatments FAQ

Can I book directly without an optician referral?

Yes. Many patients come to us after noticing glare, blur or eyelid changes. If you have an optician report, bring it—if not, we’ll assess you and advise next steps.

How quickly can I be seen?

Availability varies by clinician and appointment type. Submit the form and we’ll offer the earliest suitable slots and explain any pre-assessment tests required.

Is cataract surgery painful?

Most patients describe pressure or mild discomfort rather than pain. Your surgeon will explain anaesthesia options and what you’ll feel during the procedure.

Are eyelid procedures purely cosmetic?

Not always. Drooping lids can reduce the visual field and eyelid malposition can cause irritation and watering. We’ll be clear about the medical vs aesthetic aspects and what outcome is realistic.

What if I’m not suitable for surgery?

We’ll explain why, outline alternatives (including monitoring), and advise if an NHS pathway or different specialist service is more appropriate.

Do you offer second opinions?

Yes. If you’ve been advised to have treatment elsewhere, we can review your situation, examine your eyes, and discuss whether the recommendation fits your goals and clinical picture.

Urgent symptoms: sudden loss of vision, severe pain, new flashes/floaters, or a shadow/curtain across vision should be treated as urgent. Use NHS 111 or attend A&E/your local eye casualty.

Patient experience and trust

We focus on clear communication, careful decision-making and supportive aftercare. Below are examples of the feedback patients commonly share after treatment and review appointments.

“Everything was explained in a way I could understand, including the risks. The appointment felt unhurried and reassuring.”
Private consultation patient
“The team were kind and organised. I knew exactly what would happen before and after the procedure.”
Procedure & aftercare patient
“I appreciated the honest advice. I didn’t feel pressured—just supported to make the right choice.”
Second opinion patient

Clinical governance: Your care is guided by clinical standards, informed consent, and clear documentation. Ask any question—your decision should feel confident, not rushed.

Ready to discuss treatment?

Submit the appointment form and we’ll confirm the best next step—cataract assessment, oculoplastics consultation, or a general specialist review. If you’re unsure, choose “Assessment / Unsure” and describe what’s bothering you.
