Age related macular degeneration (AMD)
The part of your eye that controls your central vision (seeing what is directly in front of you) is called the macula. Macular degeneration occurs when the macula is damaged.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis is a common condition where the edges of the eyelids become red and swollen (inflamed).
Detached retina
The thin lining in the back of your eye is called the retina. Your retina changes light coming into your eye into images that are sent to your brain.
Diabetic eye disease
In diabetic patients, high levels of blood sugar can cause the small blood vessels in the back of your eye to stretch or tear.
External eye disorders
Our experienced consultants can diagnose and treat external eye disorders in a hospital near you.
Glaucoma
The optic nerve carries images from the retina to the brain, allowing you to see. Glaucoma is the name given to a group of conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve in the area where it leaves your eye.
Impaired vision
There are many eye conditions that may cause impaired vision or loss of vision.
Lacrimal disorders
Lacrimal glands are the glands in the corners of your eyes that produce tears. These can become blocked, stop producing tears, or become inflamed.
Macular holes
The part of your eye that controls your central vision (seeing what is directly in front of you) is called the macula. A macular hole is a tear or break in this area.
Orbital disease
The socket that holds and protects your eyeball and the surrounding nerves, muscles and blood vessels is called the orbit.
Squint (strabismus)
A squint, also know as strabismus, is a condition where both eyes don’t point in the same direction at the same time. It’s more common in children than adults, and causes in children tend to be different too.
Uveitis
The uvea is the area of your eye made up of your iris, the choroid (layer of tissue that supports your retina), and your ciliary body (muscles behind the iris). Various conditions cause inflammation in this area. This is called uveitis.
