Miss Megan Jeffries is a highly experienced Consultant Ophthalmologist and Ophthalmic Surgeon who specialises in diagnosing and treating eye conditions in both adults and children. Based in West Sussex, she is dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centred care and helping every patient achieve the best possible vision and eye health outcomes.
With extensive training from some of the UK's leading medical institutions, Miss Jeffries has developed expertise across a wide range of ophthalmic conditions. She is known for her thoughtful approach, clear communication and commitment to delivering personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's individual needs.

Education and Specialist Training
Miss Jeffries began her medical education at the prestigious University of Cambridge before completing her clinical medical training at Nottingham University Medical School. After qualifying as a doctor, she pursued a career in ophthalmology and undertook specialist ophthalmology training within the South London Deanery.

During her specialist training, she gained valuable experience at some of the country's most respected eye hospitals and teaching centres. These included Moorfields Eye Hospital, internationally recognised for excellence in eye care, St Thomas' Hospital, The Royal London Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital, one of the UK's leading children's hospitals.
Working in these specialist centres allowed Miss Jeffries to develop advanced skills in both adult and paediatric ophthalmology. She trained alongside leading experts in the field and gained experience in managing both common and complex eye conditions.

Clinical Experience
In 2020, Miss Jeffries joined University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, where she continues to provide specialist ophthalmic care. She currently serves as the Clinical Lead for the Department of Ophthalmology, a role that reflects her leadership, expertise and commitment to maintaining high standards of patient care.
As Clinical Lead, she works closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure patients receive safe, effective and up-to-date treatment. She is actively involved in improving services and supporting the ongoing development of ophthalmology care across the region.

Areas of Expertise
Miss Jeffries diagnoses and treats a broad range of eye conditions affecting both adults and children. Her specialist interests include cataract surgery, paediatric ophthalmology, glaucoma management and the treatment of squint disorders. She see’s patients from Worthing, Pulborough, Horsham and beyond

Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are one of the most common causes of blurred vision, particularly in older adults. A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, making vision appear blurred, misty or dim.
Miss Jeffries has extensive experience performing cataract surgery, a highly successful procedure that removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens. She carefully assesses each patient to determine the most appropriate treatment and guides them through every stage of their care, from initial consultation to post-operative recovery.

Adult Squint (Strabismus)
A squint, also known as strabismus, occurs when the eyes do not align properly and point in different directions. This condition can affect both children and adults and may impact vision, depth perception and confidence.

Miss Jeffries has significant expertise in assessing and managing squint conditions. She provides comprehensive evaluations and offers treatment options that may include monitoring, glasses, exercises or surgery, depending on the individual's needs.

Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure within the eye. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.

Miss Jeffries provides comprehensive glaucoma assessment, monitoring and treatment. She works closely with patients to detect problems early, preserve vision and create long-term management plans tailored to their individual circumstances.

Treatment of Common Eye Conditions
Alongside her specialist interests, Miss Jeffries manages many common eye conditions and concerns. These include:

• Dry eyes
• Watery eyes
• Irritated or uncomfortable eyes
• Eyelid conditions
• Eye inflammation
• Vision concerns
• General ophthalmic assessments

Many patients seek advice for ongoing eye discomfort, watering, redness or irritation. Miss Jeffries provides thorough assessments to identify the underlying cause and recommends effective treatment options to improve comfort and eye health.

YAG Laser Capsulotomy
Some patients develop cloudy vision following cataract surgery due to a condition known as posterior capsule opacification. This can occur months or years after a successful cataract operation.

Miss Jeffries performs YAG laser capsulotomy, a quick and effective laser procedure used to restore clear vision. The treatment is typically carried out as an outpatient procedure and usually requires little recovery time.

Commitment to Education and Training
In addition to her clinical work, Miss Jeffries is passionate about medical education and professional development. She has played an active role in teaching and mentoring medical students, junior doctors and ophthalmic practitioners throughout her career.

She has led educational programmes designed to improve training standards and support the development of future healthcare professionals. Her commitment to education helps ensure that the next generation of eye specialists receives high-quality training and guidance.

Patient-Centred Care
At the heart of Miss Jeffries' practice is a commitment to delivering compassionate, individualised care. She believes that patients should fully understand their condition and feel confident about their treatment choices.

She takes time to listen carefully to patient concerns, explain diagnoses in clear language and discuss all available treatment options. This collaborative approach helps patients make informed decisions about their eye health and contributes to the best possible outcomes.

Whether treating a routine eye condition, managing a complex glaucoma case or caring for a child's visual development, Miss Jeffries is dedicated to providing exceptional care in a professional, supportive and welcoming environment.
