Drooping eyelids (Ptosis correction)
Drooping eyelids (ptosis) is when the muscle that lifts the eyelid can be weak or lose strength over time.
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.
Glaucoma surgery (Trabeculectomy)
The aim of glaucoma surgery is to lower the pressure in your eye to reduce the risk of further damage to the optic nerve.
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is the name given to a group of keyhole glaucoma surgeries that can be used as an alternative to eye drops or more invasive conventional glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy and tube surgery).
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.
Squint surgery
Squint surgery aims to reduce a squint.
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.
Vitrectomy
A vitrectomy is 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.
