Cataract surgery in Hampshire at Wessex Hospital
A cataract is an eye condition that makes it difficult to see. In a normal eye, there is a clear lens which helps you to focus. The Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital is home to a number of highly regarded professional cataract surgeons who can assist if cataracts are making it difficult for you to see.
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.

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.
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.
