Treatment Options

Our specialists will recommend the best treatment for your specific retinal condition and its severity. Options may include:

Intravitreal injections

Intravitreal injections deliver medication directly into the eye to reduce inflammation or control abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina. These treatments are commonly used for conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease, and are performed as a short outpatient procedure under local anaesthetic.

Laser treatment

Laser treatment is used to stabilise certain retinal conditions and reduce the risk of further vision loss. It works by targeting specific areas of the retina to seal leaking blood vessels or prevent abnormal vessel growth, helping to slow disease progression.

Vitreoretinal Surgery

In more complex cases, referral for vitreoretinal surgery may be required. This specialist surgery is used to treat conditions such as retinal detachment or macular problems, with the aim of preserving or improving vision where possible.

Medical management 

Some retinal conditions can be managed with careful observation, lifestyle advice and medical treatment. Regular monitoring allows changes in the retina to be detected early, enabling timely intervention if treatment becomes necessary.
Your consultant will discuss the most suitable treatment plan and explain what to expect at each stage.

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.
