Site last updated 14/11/2009

Welcome to the Kent Eye Surgery Web Site.  We have designed this site to be useful to our patients, to our referring GP's and optometrists and to casual web surfers looking for information.

We are lucky to be practising in a dynamic, forward-looking speciality, which allows us to offer our patients an expanding range of treatment options.

Surgical advances proceed apace. We can now implant toric intraocular lenses at the time of cataract surgery, which are capable of correcting not only short and long sight but astigmatism too. Wet macular degeneration, previously incurable, can now be treated and many of our patients, who would have become legally blind only 3 years ago, have retained their vision. Equally, advances in instrumentation and treatment protocols have improved diagnoses and outcomes for patients with glaucoma. An example is SLT, a new, outpatient treatment for glaucoma which reduces the need for drops.

You will find that the Eye Conditions and Eye Procedures pages are aimed at helping our patients understand the most common conditions and treatments, whereas the A-Z pages are more technical and directed to medical pracitioners or those looking for more in-depth information.
