External eye disorders

If conservative methods to treat lacrimal disorder are not successful, a consultant may recommend surgery.

If glasses or contact lenses no longer suit your day-to-day life, laser eye surgery can offer a more permanent way to correct short-sight, long-sight and astigmatism. At Nuffield Health, your care is consultant-led from first consultation onwards, with no time limits on your aftercare.

Lumps and bumps on the eyelid are common, and most are harmless. Some clear up without treatment, but others need removing if they are sore, affecting your vision, or you simply want them gone. At Nuffield Health, our ophthalmology consultants can diagnose what you have and, where treatment is needed, remove it as a day case, so you can go home the same day.

Squint surgery is a commonly performed procedure to correct eye misalignment, where the eyes do not move or focus in the same direction. At Nuffield Health, our highly skilled ophthalmic surgeons combine clinical expertise with a personalised approach, providing clear support throughout your treatment and recovery.
