Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is the medical and surgical management of conditions of the eye and its attached parts. 

The department undertakes approximately 7,000 day case procedures, 100,000 outpatient attendances and over 20,000 eye casualty attendances per year across Royal Berkshire Hospital, Prince Charles Eye Unit and West Berkshire Community Hospital.

All outpatient sites include up to date equipment: OCT with angiography and autofluorescence, HRT, anterior and posterior segment photography with FFA and ICG, ultrasound, YAG/SLT and multispot argon lasers, Pentacam scanning and IOL master biometry.

If you’re receiving ophthalmology care here at the Royal Berkshire Foundation Trust, you may be asked to receive your treatment in a hospital in Oxfordshire or Buckinghamshire if you’re able to travel there. This is to provide you with care more quickly.
