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 was impressed with the personal care and attention to detail shown by everyone concerned with my treatment. Everyone involved was very friendly and time was taken to explain in detail what my options were, all my questions were answered prior to both my operations taking place. Due to the complexity of my cataract operation a specialized eye surgeon was arranged to ensure any difficulties were addressed in a safe and efficient manner considering I had lost all sight in one eye, he was first class and I had a lot to thank him for.
My treatment was excellent in every respect. I can now see clearly without glasses, which I have been wearing since I was 10 years old. Thank you very much.
Very please with my visit to Vision Scotland Edinburgh. All of the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, nothing too much trouble. The centre is immaculate, I would highly recommend them to all my friends and relatives. Mr Soo Park , my surgeon was brilliant.

Had a cataract procedure after being refered by my optician Excellent care and attention, everything clearly explained and all seemed to go well and much smoother than I had feared

I had RLE surgery Oct 25 with Consultant Jonathan Ross. I returned to VS Edinburgh after my eye recovered, for Vitrectomy on both eyes for floaters 7 weeks apart March/April 26 with Consultant Shohista Saidkasimova. My initial appointment with the Optician Sept 25 in VS Edinburgh, was most informative when she clearly explained to me the outcome I could expect with my personal eye prescription. I found this most helpful on making my decision. Deciding to travel from Aberdeenshire to VS Edinburgh was well worth the journey for a private 5 star patient experience. I now have the optimal outcomes for my personal vision that seemed unimaginable 5 years ago. Thanks to everyone involved in the professional friendly care I received on all my visits to Vision Scotland Edinburgh.
