Caring for Glaucoma in our communities, in partnership withAyrshire Eye Clinic
We are proud to launch our new partnership with Ayrshire Eye Clinic, to manage patient’s Glaucoma care in the community. Introducing this pathway means patients can be reassured by regular appointments solely caring for their Glaucoma.
Although there is no cure for Glaucoma, early detection and treatment is crucial to slow progression and preserve sight. With our new clinic, we can monitor patients Glaucoma and treatment more thoroughly, through shared care by their chosen Urquharts Optometrist and by Professor Srinivasan, Consultant Ophthalmologist at Ayrshire Eye Clinic.
Glaucoma must be diagnosed by a Consultant who will provide a course of treatment including prescribing any medications, and patients would then be seen by Professor Srinivasan at Ayrshire Eye Clinic annually.
Between these yearly appointments, a treatment plan would be determined by the Consultant and patients will be seen by our team at 3- or 6-month intervals.
We work in constant communication with Ayrshire Eye Clinic to ensure the best treatment and outcome for our patients.
This means we can give even more comprehensive care in the community to those with Glaucoma, without hospital waiting times.
This service is available privately, with the initial consultations at Urquharts and then with Professor Srinivasan, costing £255.
This includes:
Ongoing management then consists of monthly payments of £43, which includes all appointments here at Urquharts and an annual check-up with Professor Srinivasan.
