About Mr Nicholas Edmeades

I am a consultant ophthalmologist with a specialist interest in cataract surgery, inflammatory diseases of the eye (uveitis) and treatments of the retina.

I treat and manage a range of general eye diseases, with additional sub-speciality expertise in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal vein occlusion, diabetic eye disease, central serous chorioretinopathy and uveitis, as well as the provision of intra-vitreal therapy, laser procedures and micro-incisional ocular surgery.

I qualified as a doctor in 2004, after which I carried out additional research and was awarded a degree in Cognitive Neuroscience. After that I completed seven years of ophthalmic surgical training in South West England, followed by a fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital, specialising in retinal disease, uveitis and genetic eye conditions.

I was more confident as this was the second eye and this made the procedure very straightforward. Mr Edmeades was patient, communicative and filled me with confidence and I am delighted with the outcome.

I thought the experience was very good however I would suggest because of retention that more questions about how to do the after-care is written down because though we are told at the time after the operation I found that it wasn’t till the next day that I could take it all in so it is that delay I think it’s called Hospital Brain that 1 needs something to refer back to

The Doctor met and spoke to me before the operation and I felt reassured he was confident with his skills to resolve my cataract problem. I felt happy with the other staff who also cared for me. I found the appointment enjoyable because it was good to improve my vision and know I was in safe hands with the surgeon.

Excellent treatment for my cataract surgery. I was very anxious but Nicks manner and professionalism made it a much better experience for me. He spoke to me throughout the operation explaining what was happening which made me feel calm
