Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses. This procedure restores clear vision for patients experiencing blurred sight due to age-related or trauma-induced cataracts. Our practice uses phacoemulsification techniques for minimally invasive outcomes, ensuring faster recovery and improved visual clarity. Patients receive comprehensive pre-operative assessments and post-operative care to optimise results.
Glaucoma Management
We provide comprehensive glaucoma management through medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions. Regular monitoring with advanced imaging technology detects early optic nerve damage caused by elevated intraocular pressure. Personalised treatment plans help patients preserve vision and manage progression. Our approach combines medication management with lifestyle advice to maintain long-term eye health.
Macular Degeneration Treatment
Our clinic offers intravitreal injections for age-related macular degeneration, slowing disease progression and preserving central vision. Regular monitoring ensures timely intervention to maintain visual function. Patients receive education on lifestyle modifications and nutritional support to complement medical treatments, enhancing overall outcomes for this chronic condition.
Diabetic Retinopathy Care
We specialise in managing diabetic retinopathy through comprehensive eye exams and targeted interventions. Early detection prevents vision loss from diabetes-related retinal damage. Our services include laser treatments and ongoing monitoring to manage vascular changes in the retina, ensuring patients maintain optimal eye health alongside their diabetes management.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery removes abnormal tissue growths from the cornea, alleviating discomfort and improving visual clarity. Our procedure involves precise excision followed by grafting techniques to reduce recurrence rates. Post-operative care includes UV protection guidance and follow-up monitoring to ensure proper healing and long-term ocular surface health.

Staff at 130 eye were very helpful in helping to co-ordinate my follow up appointments and Dr Glastonbury showed a great level of knowledge in his field with an approachable manner of explaining things without the inclusion of confusing medical jargon. Very happy to have found this practice.
