Treatments

Anterior segment

The front part of your eye including your iris (coloured part of your eye), cornea and lens are called the anterior segment.

At Nuffield Health Guildford Hospital you can get rapid access to cataract surgery. Our highly regarded ophthalmologists regularly achieve fantastic clinical outcomes for cataract surgery, restoring eye sight for suffering patients.

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.

Lacrimal surgery

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

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.

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

A vitrectomy is the surgical removal of the vitreous humour (jelly-like substance) inside your eye.
