Causes
Symptoms
The symptoms of dry eye are distressing, patients often suffer for years until they access appropriate treatment. Physical discomfort with grittiness, stinging, burning, and a feeling of “something in the eye” is often experienced. Dry eye commonly causes blurred vision due to disruption of the ocular surface, and the underlying inflammation can trigger a reflex flow of tears, causing watery eyes despite the dry eyes. The eyes and eyelid margins are typically red and inflamed which is often unsightly.

Mr Masood was excellent as was Mr Williams during my initial consultation. Both were clear about treatment options, potential risks and expected outcomes. Surgery was stress free as any worries or concerns were cleared prior to surgery. Everyone did their utmost to ensure that you felt comfortable throughout the whole process.

Really pleased with the outcome of my procedure. and the attention and work of Professor Scott. I will always recommend him. He is a brilliant man and very caring.
Prof. Scott explained the injury and that it was worse than first thought. At this present time this has left me partially sighted in my right eye. Unsure as to what the future outcome will be. Professional and courteous at all times. Hospital facilities superb.
This was no nowhere near as traumatic an experience as I was expecting. Everyone who looked after me was exceedingly kind and considerate. I would like to say a special word of thanks to reception, especially Hawa. People arrive for eye surgery very apprehensive and nervous. The staff in Reception are cheerful, reassuring, helpful and kind.
I am thrilled with the treatment carried out on my eye by Rob and his team - just not happy fully with the outcome as not what I expected but that is in no way reflective of treatment received here.
