Eyelid cyst removal

Fluid filled lumps that form in your upper or lower eyelids are quite common. These cysts normally disappear on their own. Occasionally the cyst becomes infected causing pain, redness and swelling.

Laser eye surgery (or myopia treatment)

Laser eye surgery (LASIK) is a form of treatment for short-sight, long-sight and astigmatism.

Oculoplastic surgery

Oculoplastic surgeons carry out surgery on the eye lid and facial plastic surgery.

Phacoemulsification

Phacoemulsification is a common method used in cataract surgery.

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.

Visual field testing

Visual field testing checks how well you can see in all areas of your vision, including your side (peripheral) and central vision. It's used to find and monitor vision problems, especially those that might not appear in a regular eye exam.

Vitrectomy in Brighton

At Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital, our expert ophthalmologists specialise in vitrectomy surgery. A vitrectomy involves the surgical removal of the vitreous humour (jelly-like substance) inside your eye.

YAG Capsulotomy

A small proportion of patients will develop clouding of the capsule which covers the lens following cataract surgery. This is called posterior capsule opacification or PCO and feels similar to the original cataract. If this develops we offer a laser surgery called YAG capsulotomy to correct the problem.
