Ophthalmology in Aylesbury

Careful Treatment Of Vision

Our ophthalmologist treats conditions eye-related and connected to your vision. These conditions can hugely affect daily lives and we understand the stress and discomfort this can cause.

Common issues related to vision are glaucoma, cataracts, eye injuries and retinal detachment.  All patients at the hospital will be carefully diagnosed, using state of the art technologies and provided with a fully personalised treatment plan.

Treatments may include medication, surgery or injections for certain conditions such as macular degeneration.

Sometimes a symptom related to your vision can be related to another medical issue. When this is the case consultants from other specialties will be able to support you as part of your treatment. Such conditions include thyroid disease or tumours.

Patients are treated with great care and respect, with the goal to a successful outcome and recovery of your condition.
