to eye specialists

Sudden loss of vision or a serious eye injury is an emergency. Go to an eye casualty department or call 999. This clinic is for common, non-emergency eye problems.

What we help with

Everyday eye problems

  • Conjunctivitis and eye infections
  • Styes and eyelid problems (blepharitis)
  • Red, gritty or watery eyes
  • Dry eyes
  • Foreign body or minor irritation
  • Allergic eye symptoms
  • Advice on when specialist care is needed

How it works

Assessed and treated quickly

  1. A same-day GP appointment.
  2. Examination of the eye and eyelids.
  3. Treatment — drops, ointment or advice.
  4. Fast referral to an eye specialist (ophthalmology) or eye casualty if needed.

What we don’t do

GP-led, not full ophthalmology

Know the limits — and when it’s urgent

This is GP-led care for common eye problems; we don’t provide full ophthalmology, cataract surgery or laser eye treatment (we refer for those). Sudden loss of vision, a serious eye injury, or severe eye pain with a headache is urgent — go to an eye casualty or call 999.

Good to know

Safe, joined-up care

GMC-registered clinicians, CQC-registered clinic

You’re seen by GMC-registered clinicians at our CQC-registered Whitechapel clinic. We keep clear, confidential records and, with your consent, share a summary with your NHS GP so your care stays joined up. A chaperone is available for any examination on request, at no charge.

You don’t need to be registered with us, and private care complements — it doesn’t replace — being registered with an NHS GP.

What we don’t do here

  • We are not an emergency service. For anything serious or life-threatening, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent advice any time, NHS 111 is available 24/7.
  • We are an outpatient clinic and do not provide hospital admission or inpatient care.
  • Private care and screening complement, and do not replace, being registered with an NHS GP or national NHS screening programmes.

Fees

Clear, up-front pricing

Consultation and assessment fees are set out on our price list, and any tests or treatments are explained and priced clearly before you go ahead — no surprises. Some services are priced on enquiry; just ask the clinic team.

Common questions

Can you treat an eye infection today?

Yes — same-day assessment and treatment for common infections.

Do you do eye tests or glasses?

No — that’s an optician; we assess and treat eye problems and refer where needed.

Can you remove something from my eye?

Minor surface foreign bodies, yes; anything deeper or high-risk is referred urgently.

When should I go straight to eye casualty?

Sudden vision loss, a penetrating injury, or severe pain — don’t wait for an appointment.
