Ophthalmology

About us:

The ophthalmology (eye) service is based both at Royal Stoke University Hospital and County Hospital.  We offer a comprehensive range of both general and sub-specialty Ophthalmology clinics, addressing a wide spectrum of eye conditions and visual concerns.
We provide expert care for patients of all ages, with a dedicated emergency eye service available to address urgent eye care needs. 

Our highly skilled and multi-disciplinary Ophthalmology Team includes experienced Consultant Ophthalmologists, Specialist Ophthalmic doctors; Clinical Nuse Specialists; Orthoptists, Optometrists, Ophthalmic Nurses, Nursing Assistants and dedicated imaging Technicians and Administration support staff, all working collaboratively to provide the best possible care.

Understanding the complexity of the eye, we recognise that different conditions require specialised care. Many of our clinics are sub-specialised, ensuring where possible, that when you attend an appointment, you are seen by an expert in the specific area of your eye care needs. With access to a range of diagnostic services and tests, our team works together to assess, diagnose, and manage your eye condition effectively and with the utmost expertise.
