Eyelid Conditions / Styes
Swollen, red lumps at the eyelid margin may be caused by blocked oil glands or infection. Some resolve with warm compresses, while others require medical attention.

Often caused by age-related changes in the vitreous gel, but may signal a retinal tear or detachment. Prompt assessment is recommended for new or sudden symptoms.
From workplace accidents to DIY mishaps, we manage corneal abrasions, foreign bodies, and blunt injuries, some of which may require urgent treatment.
Common in adults who spend long hours in air-conditioned environments or on digital screens. Symptoms include stinging, gritty sensation, and blurred vision that improves with blinking.
A progressive condition affecting the central part of the retina (macula), leading to difficulty reading, recognising faces, and seeing fine detail. Early diagnosis can help slow progression.
Clouding of the eye’s natural lens, often resulting in blurry vision, glare, or faded colours. Cataracts typically develop with age and may require surgical removal when they begin to affect daily activities.
We manage a range of retinal conditions, including macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and retinal detachment, all of which may impact central or peripheral vision.
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina (diabetic retinopathy) or cause macular swelling (diabetic macular edema). Regular retinal screening is key, even before symptoms appear.
Infections or trauma can lead to open sores on the cornea, resulting in pain, redness, and potential scarring. Contact lens users are particularly at risk.
A group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to increased eye pressure. Often symptomless in early stages, glaucoma requires lifelong monitoring to preserve vision.
