Glaucoma Screening
Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable sight loss — and because it’s usually painless and silent in its early stages, screening matters. We assess the key markers and refer promptly to an ophthalmologist if treatment is needed.
Initial GP consultation £140
If your child is seriously unwell — call 999 or take them to A&E. We're a private outpatient service, not an emergency service. The Royal London Hospital (5 minutes' walk) has a paediatric A&E.

Why screen
Silent, but preventable
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, usually from raised pressure in the eye, and lost vision can’t be recovered — but early detection and treatment can stop it progressing. Risk rises with age, family history, short-sightedness and certain ethnic backgrounds.
- Over 40, or a family history of glaucoma
- African-Caribbean heritage (higher risk)
- Short-sightedness or diabetes
- Anyone wanting reassurance about their eye health
What we check
The three key markers
Screening looks at eye pressure (tonometry), the optic nerve (OCT imaging) and your peripheral vision (visual fields). Together these give a clear picture of your risk. It’s all quick and comfortable.
This is an assess, scan and refer service. Where treatment or specialist management is needed, we arrange it promptly through our trusted consultant and imaging partners.If we find a concern
Straight to the right specialist
If your results suggest glaucoma or a high risk, we explain it clearly and refer you promptly to a consultant ophthalmologist for confirmation and treatment (usually simple eye drops). Early action protects your sight.

Common questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
What are the signs of glaucoma?
Usually none in the early stages — that’s why screening is important. By the time you notice vision loss, damage may be advanced.
Who should be screened?
Anyone over 40, and earlier if you have a family history, African-Caribbean heritage, short-sightedness or diabetes.
Is the testing uncomfortable?
No — the pressure check, OCT scan and visual-field test are all quick and painless.
What happens if I have glaucoma?
We refer you promptly to an ophthalmologist. Most glaucoma is well controlled with daily eye drops, which protect your remaining vision.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with us. If you have a referral letter or previous results, bring them along — they help us avoid repeating tests.
How much will tests cost?
Consultation fees are published on our price list. Any test, scan or treatment is explained and priced before you go ahead, so there are no surprises.
How quickly can I be seen?
Appointments are often available within days, and we are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm. Call 020 7916 0029 if your symptoms are worrying you and we will look for the earliest slot.
Will you write to my NHS GP?
With your consent, yes — we send a clear summary so your care stays joined up. If you would rather we did not, just tell us at booking.
