Eye conditions treated in Bolton

Our ophthalmologists see patients with a wide variety of symptoms and can treat all common eye conditions, including:

These symptoms may be caused by any one of a number of eye conditions, including:

• Cataracts – These cause the lens of your eye to become cloudy, stopping light from passing through it correctly. Commonly occurs in people aged 60+
• Glaucoma – This is caused by damage to the optic nerve, often due to raised pressure in the eye. Can lead to sight loss if left untreated
• Dry eyes
• Blepharitis - Itchy and swollen eyelids
• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – Both ‘wet’ and ‘dry’
• Diabetic retinopathy – A complication of diabetes, affecting the blood supply to the retina. May lead to blindness if left untreated

• Inflammation such as uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer in the eye) and conjunctivitis
• Eyelid problems such as drooping eyelids (Ptosis) or eyebags that overhang the eye and affect vision (needing Blepharoplasty)
