Temporarily closed for face to face consultations

Ophthalmology is classed as a high risk specialty due to the unavoidable close proximity to the eye and we have therefore taken the decision to cease face to face consultations until it is safe to resume them.

We are available for virtual consultations and advice by telephone if you have an urgent  eye problem – please call on our usual numbers

We are advising all patients to follow the latest NHS and Public Health England advice and guidance.

  • Thank you so much for your kind and sympathetic treatment yesterday afternoon, when i gate-crashed your busy clinic. I am especially pleased with the magnifying glass you gave me – I had tried one before but had not found it satisfactory, this is obviously a superior model made for the purpose and works well…
