Bristol Eye Hospital

The Bristol Eye Hospital is one of the pre-eminent
institutions specialising in eye surgery in the United Kingdom. The hospital
is a purpose built eye hospital constructed in 1986, on the site of the
original hospital first established in 1815.
Bristol Eye Hospital is a centre of excellence for
both clinical practice and academic research and is a University Teaching
Hospital linked to the University of Bristol with a staff of 15 Consultant
Ophthalmologists including an academic Professor and Senior Lecturer. The
medical staff also include 16 junior doctors training to be future
Consultants. In addition medical students, optometrists and nurses also
undergo training at the hospital.
Bristol Eye Hospital is a tertiary referral centre
for the South West of England and covers the whole range of sub-specialties
within ophthalmic medicine. It provides an A+E service and a continuous
general and vitreoretinal on-call service.
My role is to perform ‘high volume fast track
cataract surgery’ and to treat Vitreoretinal conditions including retinal
detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular diseases, severe eye trauma and
complications of cataract surgery including dislocated cataract fragments
and severe infection. I also undertake general, cataract and specialist
vitreoretinal clinics at Bristol Eye Hospital.
