We deliver our specialist services across the Liverpool and Sefton regions – as well as the Epsom, Ashtead and Leatherhead regions in South-West London.
Private eyecare is significantly faster.
NHS eye services are slow – waiting lists of 18 weeks to even 1 year are common, losing valuable time and allowing your condition to worsen.
With our private care at London Eye Doctors, we can have you looked at straight away, and you are able to get your treatment at the date and time that you want.
By going private with us, you will get the most thorough care available.
We provide clear and detailed post and pre-operative consultations, ensuring you are completely informed and comfortable about your treatment.
We allow for much longer consultation times than the NHS (between 2 and 3 times longer), so that patients can feel reassured about their eye care.
The NHS does not guarantee you will get the surgeon you want.
You may be operated by another consultant you don’t know or even by a trainee (a junior doctor).
By going privately, you get the reassurance that you are being operated upon by a highly qualified surgeon of your choice.
You will have an initial consultation and assessment by Dr Saeed, and he will develop a tailored plan for your treatment.
After he has planned out the best course of action, you will be treated rapidly – whether this includes surgery or not.
Post-operative consultations will be held to ensure that your aftercare goes smoothly (and so any questions you may have are addressed in full), ensuring your vision is improved as much as possible.
A cataract is an opacity in the lens of the eye.
It causes gradual blurring of vision over a period of months and years.
The only treatment is cataract surgery, in which the old lens is removed and a new plastic lens is inserted in its place to restore vision.
Diabetes can progressively damage your eyes.
Diabetes can cause bleeding in the retina, as well as leakage, which can cause permanent damage to the retina and your vision.
However, this can be limited by treatment, which includes diabetic control, laser procedures, injections, or surgery – all of which are provided at London Eye Doctors.
It is vital that you see a doctor as soon as possible to prevent the harm to sight.
A red eye can be caused by inflammtion, infections, allergies or trauma – only an examination can diagnose you correctly.
The examination will often require a slitlamp examination, which will be done by one of our doctors before treatment is started.
Do not hesitate to contact us should you experience any of the following:
Consistent care by the same highly qualified doctor. You get consultant delivered consultation, treatment, surgery and post-operative care with the highest possible standards of medical knowledge and care.
The NHS may not get you the surgeon you want. You may be operated by another consultant you don’t know or even by a trainee (junior doctor). By going privately you get the reassurance that you are being operated upon by the surgeon of your choice.
Private treatment is significantly quicker. You get your treatment at the time and date you want. Your treatment can be scheduled most days of the week. NHS care usually means being at the end of a long waiting list which can be variable. An 18 week wait (on the NHS) is common these days and may become longer in the future.
Premium lenses are only available with private care. The NHS usually works with a selected few lenses – the best quality lenses are usually not available on the NHS. The only way to get these lenses after cataract surgery is by having cataract surgery privately.
