Eye surgery for patients in Glasgow

Glasgow patients are seen at the Belfast clinic in Malone — a one-hour flight from Glasgow Airport and often the fastest consultant appointment available.

NHS Scotland routine ophthalmology waits have lengthened considerably, and premium intraocular lenses are not funded. Glasgow patients come to us for lens choice as much as for speed.

Around one hour by air from Glasgow to Belfast City, then 15 minutes by taxi to Derryvolgie Avenue. Appointments are grouped so the trip is a single day.

Patients travel from: West End · Shawlands · Bearsden · Newton Mearns · Paisley · East Kilbride · Hamilton
