Cataract surgery in Plymouth
At Nuffield Health Plymouth Hospital our ophthalmologists can provide you with rapid access to cataract surgery, with consistently excellent patient outcomes, but without the wait.
Drooping eyelids (Ptosis correction)
Drooping eyelids (ptosis) is when the muscle that lifts the eyelid can be weak or lose strength over time.
Excimer laser treatment
Laser eye surgery is a form of treatment for short-sight, long-sight and astigmatism (blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea) by reshaping the cornea using a laser.
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.
Oculoplastic surgery
Oculoplastic surgeons carry out surgery on the eye lid and facial plastic 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.
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.
