Cataract surgery in Tunbridge Wells
At Nuffield Health Tunbridge Wells Hospital, our ophthalmologists specialise in cataract surgery and are some of the most acclaimed eye experts in the south east region.
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.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
This operation is one of the treatments for glaucoma.
Squint surgery
Squint surgery aims to reduce a squint.
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.
