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.

Patients find the team at Vision Scotland Edinburgh to be friendly. Patients say the clinic is clean and patients say it is calm. They say they feel safe and they feel at ease. Reviews show great care for cataract surgery and lens replacement.
The directions as to how to reach the Ratho clinic were very clear , and easy to follow. The staff in the reception area were friendly and reassuring. the seating arrangements were pleasant and comfortable. The explanation of the surgical procedure, and the time it would likely take, were clear ; I felt quite relaxed about going ahead and was not disappointed. The instructions for post-operation eye medication were clear, and with the assistance of my wife, I think we managed that quite well. I have been very pleased with result of the operation. I have had an eye test with my local optician and will have a further appointment in about 2 month's time. Meantime I am pleased to be driving without spectacles, and using plain reading spectacles for closer work. I am very happy to recommend the Ratho clinic to others. David G. D.
Friendly, professional and reassuring staff. Efficient service without any feeling of being rushed
Overall a very good experience. I was informed on several occasions after surgery that advice was on hand at any time if required. In fact, I received a telephone call only a few days afterwards to check that I was doing ok. I am delighted with my results.
I was referred for Cataract Removal. The staff were friendly and helpful from walking through the the door for my first appointment.
From initial consultation to surgery everything went swimmingly. The clinic at Ratho was a calm, friendly and professional space. Diagnostics were slick and Abby, Pauline, Catherine and Maria all made me feel at ease. Consultant Jonathan Foulds undertook my surgery which went very well. No pressure during consultation phase but great lengths to ensure I was listened to and came to best decision for me. I am 9 days post surgery and all well. My world is brighter and vision improving daily. I would certainly recommend this clinic for cataract surgery. Pre and post surgery service exceptional.

We’re delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Vision Scotland Ratho, from your initial consultation through to your surgery and aftercare.

We’re so pleased to hear that your recovery is going well and that your world is already looking brighter! Thank you for recommending Vision Scotland. Jenna
Arrived slightly early at the Clinic, but there was plenty of parking. The waiting area was clean, stylish and modern and, after the formalities, and a short wait the process began. The staff were invariably cheerful and professional. The surgeon, Mr Park, did a short examination and then explained the details of the procedure in a manner that ensured I was confident all would be well. The operation was surprisingly quick with no issues and Mr Park confirmed that all had gone to plan. I was then told about how to manage my recovery and sent home with an extensive supply of medications. Overall the experience was really good and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Mr Park and the Edinburgh clinic to anyone looking to have a lens replacement. My recovery went well and after waiting 5 weeks for a new eye test, my optician was also pleased with the results. With my new glasses my eyesight is now back to normal. Overall the experience with Vision Scotland was excellent. The only minor blip was that the clinic apparently called me to check on my progress a few days after the operation. I have no record of any such call and only became aware of it when a I received a subsequent email asking about my recovery. Given the circumstances I felt they should have tried a bit harder to obtain my confirmation that my immediate recovery was proceeding satisfactorily.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that you had an excellent experience with Vision Scotland Edinburgh and that you felt confident and well cared for throughout your lens replacement journey.

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
