Business Profile

About The Sight Clinic in London As a young girl, I witnessed my grandmother losing her sight from diabetic eye disease. This was my earliest experience of the distress that a person can suffer from developing visual problems, such as AMD or cataract.

If you have been experiencing problems with your sight or if you have recently been diagnosed with a disorder affecting your eyes, I will provide comprehensive care using evidence-based medicine. I will guide you and your family through the uncertainty that accompanies any problem with your eyes, from diagnosis to treatment.

I have chosen only to work in centres that utilise the latest in diagnostic and treatment technology, to provide all of my patients with the latest investigations, surgical techniques and medical therapy options that are available.

The treatment of medical retina diseases has been revolutionised by the development of new drugs and technologies. I provide the full portfolio of treatments available. These are available as one-stop clinics for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of urgent macular diseases, such as wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Most patients can be reassured the same day.

Practice Manager: Isobel Gilbert

Your care starts and stops with the administration team, managed by Isobel Gilbert. As an experienced PA and administrator, Isobel has worked and assisted several senior private medical consultants. She feels passionately that the care received by the patients is far more than excellent medical care but should be echoed throughout the whole experience, from the first call to the last written communication. Isobel and her team will ensure that you receive all the support you need to help you through your journey to better health.

Eye problems are not unusual and can often be treated easily. Though, it is important that they are treated properly. In some cases, prompt treatment might save your eyesight. Nowadays, technology is very advanced. This why the treatment of common eye problems is very successful.

Cataract

This involves clouding of the lens within your eye. Light needs to pass through the lens to get to the retina. Having a cataract makes your vision misty and colours look more dull, just like looking through a frosted window. You can read more about this here. To find out if you may benefit from cataract surgery, contact our friendly and professional staff in London to book your consultation.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

This condition affects the part of the retina that is needed for tasks such as reading and recognising faces. Early AMD is common and most people over the age of 60 will have some features of this. Vision is not usually affected. Advanced AMD does result in sight loss and only develops in about 15% of patients. The 'wet' form requires urgent treatment. More information about this disorder and treatment options can be found in the section called 'treatment of retinal disease'.

The retina is composed of a network of thousands of blood vessels. These consist of arteries and veins, just like in other parts of the body. If one of these veins develops a thrombus (blockage), it results in bleeding and swelling (oedema) of the retina. This can result in a sudden reduction in the vision an
