Medical treatments
A key strength of the service at St Ann’s is the close integration between Medical Retina care and cataract surgery. For patients who have both cataract and retinal disease, assessment and treatment can be coordinated to reduce unnecessary visits and delays. A Medical Retina consultant is always present on site during surgery, as well as experienced ophthalmic trained nurses.
All services are provided within a single, easily accessible building at St Ann’s Hospital with good transport connections.
Our eye care unit is on ground level with no stairs, making it easily accessible for our patients.
There are two operating theatres, and all surgeries are performed under local anesthetic. Sedation is available if required and an anesthetist is always on-site during surgery.
A cataract consultant is always present and experienced ophthalmic trained nurses are also always present on site. The same Moorfields cataract expertise is provided at St Anns, as at the main site in City Road.
The discharge process is streamlined to avoid unnecessary delays.
