How do I make an appointment with this service?
You should see your GP or optician to assess your condition. If he or she decides that your eye condition needs to be investigated by more specialist staff, they will arrange for you to have an outpatient appointment. If you choose to be treated at Bournemouth Ophthalmology Department, we will send you a letter confirming the date, time and location of your appointment with us.
Other useful contacts
For treatment for urgent, sight-threatening problems and for issues that cannot wait for a routine appointment, your GP can refer you to our Eye Emergency department in Royal Bournemouth Hospital.
If you have already been referred to the unit, you can also get information from our secretaries who work with the Oculoplastic consultants
