About Vision Scotland Edinburgh
Vision Scotland Edinburgh is a leading provider of eye care services in Edinburgh, Scotland. They offer a wide range of services, including:
· Cataract Surgery: A quick and usually pain free procedure where the natural lens is gently broken down and replaced with an artificial lens. This is performed when the natural lens becomes cloudy, making it difficult to see.
· Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): Like cataract surgery, it replaces the natural lens with an artificial lens implant. RLE is performed to reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses.
· YAG Laser: After Cataract Surgery or RLE, a natural process of scarring can occur causing the posterior section of the lens to thicken, blurring vision. This is called Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) and is treated with YAG Laser Capsulotomy. The procedure is quick and painless, carried out as an outpatient with immediate
results.
· Implantable Lens Surgery: Implantable contact lenses are inserted either in front of the pupil or behind the iris for vision correction without removing the natural lens.
· Laser Eye Surgery: What are regarded as the two top forms of Laser Eye Surgery are offered here – LASEK & LASIK. Laser Eye Surgery is a quick procedure and removes the requirement for glasses.
· Oculoplasty: Includes lifts of the upper or lower lids (Blephoplasty), drooping of the upper eyelid (Ptosis), correction of eyelids turning outward or inward (Ectropian/Entropian), lumps & bumps (generally a stye or chalazion) which can usually be treated as an outpatient procedure and Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery to tighten the skin around the eyes and restore a more youthful appearance.
· Corneal Disorders: Conditions such as Keratoconus, Keratitis
& Corneal Dystrophy are treated. Treatments include Corneal Cross-linking and Photo-therapeutic Keratectomy (PTK). Other disorders are managed with medication and regular review.
· Macular Degeneration Treatment: A condition that affects a small area at the centre of the retina, affecting central vision and colour. Symptoms include blurred vision with straight lines appearing wavy and objects appearing to be an unusual size or shape. Treatments are used to slow the progression and protect you from severe
visual impairment. We offer Eylea & Avastin injections for this.
· Glaucoma Care: Diagnosis and management of Glaucoma, a condition more common with age. Symptoms are few to being with but left untreated can cause damage to the back of the eye, peripheral vision problems and blindness.
· Diabetic Eye Care: Diabetic Retinopathy occurs over a long period of time when high blood sugars damage the small blood vessels that supply the retina. Screening and treatment for diabetic eye disease is offered including laser treatment, eye injections or surgery known as Vitreoretinal Surgery.
Vision Scotland Edinburgh is committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care. Their team of experienced eye care professionals is dedicated to helping patients achieve their best possible vision and with an external contact centre available out of normal opening hours, they are available to be contacted anytime.

I have just had 2 cataract procedures done at vision Scotland Ratho. The whole experience was without doubt exceptional. I was referred by my optometrist and initial consultation done within a week, surgery arranged for 3 weeks later, unfortunately on day of operation my BP was to high. Dr Foulds was excellent in explaining why it could not be done. I had 2 follow up consultations by phone over the next 4 weeks and in conjunction with my GP an appointment for surgery was made 1-9-26. Yesterday I had surgery on both eyes by DR Foulds with excellent results. The professional and friendliness of all staff members should be congratulated as they made me at ease at all time, I would not hesitate in highly recommending Vision Scotland to anyone. Many Thanks
Exceptional, no other way to describe the whole process. From own Optician suggesting cataract surgery to both eyes completed was just 10 days.
Welcomed by friendly and helpful staff. Very little waiting time and again felt very relaxed with staff explaining the procedure. Consultant excellent. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that our friendly team made you feel welcome, relaxed and well informed throughout your visit, and that you were impressed with your consultant. Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending Vision Scotland. It means a great deal to the whole team. Thanks, Jenna

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that our friendly team helped you feel relaxed and reassured throughout, and that your surgery went so well. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. Thanks, Jenna
I have macular degeneration and it was discovered I needed cataract surgery as I am already blind in one eye due to the macular degeneration. I had a consultation in the Ratho clinic. On entering the clinic I was impressed with how spacious the clinic is the overall cleanliness and helpfulness of the receptionists. I was seen initially by Tony Minnelli who was very good at explaining everything to me and making sure I was aware that because of my macular degeneration they could not guarantee a successful outcome. I then saw Soo Park who was going to do the procedure the following week. He put me at ease and I felt very confident proceeding with the cataract op. On the day of my procedure the nurses and Soo Park were very kind and helpful. 6 weeks later I had my appointment with my optician and I no longer require distance glasses and only require glasses for reading. My eyesight is so much improved, I can even see my own face in a mirror which I could not do previously! I am delighted with the outcome it has exceeded my expectations and would recommend to anyone requiring cataract surgery.

Firstly, let me say that I am absolutely terrified of doctors etc. And although the staff and facilities were first class the process was still absolutely fraught from my point of view. The staff were incredibly patient and somehow eased me through it.
