Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Thanks to highly sophisticated eye tracking systems and the latest lasers, our surgeons have been able to virtually eliminate “haloes” or “glare” effects that some people experience after laser eye surgery.
Read our blog written by Professor David Gartry, consultant eye surgeon.

Patients with smaller pupils are less likely to experience “haloes” or “glare” after #LaserEyeSurgery.
However, thanks to modern lasers and techniques these effects are almost a thing of the past and can be corrected.

In the early days of #LaserEyeSurgery, some people experienced “haloes” and “glare” after the procedure. Thanks to modern techniques they are virtually a thing of the past.
Professor David Gartry, consultant eye surgeon, explains why in his blog.

It's so important to look after your eyes in the sun. UV damage may not be immediate or obvious and can build up over time.
Apply sunscreen around the eyes and wear quality sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat when the UV index is high. ☀️😎🧢

“I think it is human nature to fear change. I believe tidal changes in healthcare present unique opportunities for inclusion, and learning how to harness change builds a more robust organisation.
"I’m really pleased to receive this recognition as a “champion of change” alongside my colleagues. I hope this opens doors for Moorfields to democratise specialist eye care for everyone.” - Dawn Sim, consultant ophthalmologist at Moorfields Private

Ever wondered what it feels like to have #LaserEyeSurgery and whether it’s painful?
Consultant eye surgeon Romesh Angunawela offers his reassurance in our blog.

The Care Quality Commission recently visited the admission suite at Moorfields Private during an inspection of private and NHS services at Moorfields Eye Hospital.
Inspectors recognised that our patient outcomes in many specialities were better than national and international targets and there was a drive to improve and identify best practice in care and treatment for patients.
Inspectors commented that the care within surgery services for patients is “innovative” and provides “excellent emotional and practical support to patients.”

Did you know that some types of laser eye surgery are used to treat patients with keratoconus - a condition that causes the cornea to weaken, get thinner and change shape?

Ms Alison Davis, consultant paediatric ophthalmologist, urged everyone to perform a simple test on children to check for the red reflex during her talk on children’s eye conditions.
The red reflex test is a non-invasive test that can show early warning signs of serious eye conditions in children and is usually performed by a GP or optometrist.
There are some things you can look out for at home, such as an abnormal white, yellow or black reflection in one or both eyes when using a camera flash.

Six of our consultants have been named on the prestigious Ophthalmology Power List 2019.
Congratulations Declan Flanagan, Prof Ted Garway-Heath, Pearse Keane, Mariya Moosajee, Prof Sir Peng Khaw and Dawn Sim. 👏👏👏

Did you know that Moorfields was one of the first eye centres in the UK to offer highly effective CXL treatment to patients with keratoconus?

“For patients having LASEK or TransPRK, there is no pain during the surgery as the surface of the eye is typically completely numbed by local anaesthetic drops.”
Read our latest blog on #LaserEyeSurgery by Romesh Angunawela, consultant eye surgeon.

#Keratoconus is a condition that causes the cornea to weaken, get thinner and change shape. It can lead to severe sight loss and affects around 1 in 450 young people.
