Ophthalmology in Banbury
A consultant-led ophthalmology department within a modern Oxfordshire hospital, providing personalised diagnosis, expert treatment, and preventative care for conditions affecting the eyes and visual system.
Supporting Sensory Needs
Visual impairments can significantly affect daily life. We recognise the distress they may cause and are committed to providing timely, expert support.
Common causes include conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts, though a range of other ocular issues can also arise. Accurate diagnosis is the essential first step, guided by clinical expertise and state-of-the-art diagnostic technology.
Your consultant will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based treatments, including medication, surgery, and targeted injections for conditions such as macular degeneration.
In some cases, eye conditions may be associated with underlying medical issues, such as thyroid disorders or physical trauma. These factors are always taken into account, with multidisciplinary support provided where necessary.
