London Medical
Ophthalmology
Based in the heart of London, our private eye clinic offers first-class care for patients with a wide range of eye symptoms and conditions. London Medical brings together state-of-the-art equipment and diagnostics, a friendly and caring team and prompt treatment tailored to your needs — all in our welcoming and accessible ground-floor clinic.
Although it’s natural for our eyesight to deteriorate over time, there are many things we can do to protect our eye health. One of those things is to have regular eye exams — especially if you are at higher risk of developing an eye condition because of an underlying health condition or a family history of eye disease.
If you are concerned about a change in your eyesight or worried about troubling symptoms such as pain or discomfort, we offer prompt appointments so that you can find answers and relief without delay. We run a daily clinic with leading optometrists and ophthalmologists so you can quickly access an expert opinion.
Unrivalled imaging
Access to cutting-edge treatments
World-class ophthalmologists
Personalised and compassionate care
Comprehensive care for all eye conditions
At London Medical, you’ll receive the very best care from leading ophthalmologists located at the leading-edge of ophthalmic research. Your personalised treatment plan will reflect the latest advances in this rapidly developing field.
We believe in taking a whole-person approach to your eye health. A complete eye exam can reveal the first signs of underlying health problems, such as hypertension or high cholesterol. We can help you manage and control any chronic conditions affecting your eye health, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or autoimmune diseases, and provide expert lifestyle advice to keep you healthy and protect your vision.
Everything is connected at London Medical. Here, you’ll be offered end-to-end treatment from leading experts across a range of related disciplines – all under one roof.
We specialise in treating:
If you don't use glasses or contact lenses, you may not give much importance to your eye health. But as we age, we all become susceptible to eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.
Even if you are healthy, it's a good idea to have regular eye exams because many eye conditions don't have any early symptoms or warning signs. A complete eye exam with dilating drops allows an ophthalmologist to check the back of your eyes for any signs of eye disease. Many reasons for vision loss are preventable, so early detection and treatment are critical.
You should have regular eye exams with dilation if you:
- are over the age of 50
- are diabetic
- have a family history of eye diseases, such as glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration
- take steroids for another health condition
- have hypertension
We'll work with you to create a personalised treatment plan to protect and preserve your vision.
Unrivalled diagnostics and imaging
Our state-of-the-art imaging suite features the latest technology for extensive and rapid ophthalmic investigations. Our expert technicians will ensure your comfort whilst taking accurate scans for a quick and accurate diagnosis.
When you are worried about your eyes, it’s natural that you don’t want to wait for answers. At London Medical, we offer same-day imaging, which means that your consultant can provide a swift diagnosis and even start treatment on the same day.
For the best results, your consultant will examine the back of your eyes by administering dilating eye drops. These drops will affect your vision for a short time, so it’s a good idea to come with a trusted friend or family member.
At London Medical, you will benefit from:
- our full suite of equipment for extensive ophthalmic imaging
- access to the latest diagnostic machines, including the CLARUS 500 and SPECTRALIS OCT
- high-quality, same-day imaging
- a seamless, joined-up experience that includes all your scans, consultation, and treatment in the same clinic
- warm and friendly staff who will make the experience as comfortable as possible
