see THE BENEFITS

Improve Your Comfort

Treatment can relieve the discomfort associated with dry eyes, such as burning, itching, and grittiness.

Have Better Vision

Proper tear production is important for clear vision, and treatment can help improve visual clarity by ensuring the eyes remain properly lubricated.

Prevent Eye Damage

Dry eyes can lead to corneal damage and other complications if left untreated. Treatment can help prevent this and maintain overall eye health.

Dry eye is a common condition in which the eyes do not produce good quality tears.

Irritable gritty feeling eyes, red eyes, watery eyes or vision that blurs quickly are very common symptoms.

There are many causes of dry eyes including poor tear production, impaired oily layer of tears, dietary deficiencies, allergies and other medical conditions. Specialised investigations to identify these include meibography, tearfilm analysis and corneal topography. These can then help tailor a treatment plan which can improve both the speed and extent of recovery. Specialised treatments can include lipiflow, punctal plugs and microblepharoexfoliation. Some patients require specialist prescriptions for medicines not commonly prescribed.

Why Choose the Eye Surgery Hastings for your surgery?

When it comes to eye surgery, the quality of care you receive is crucial to achieving the best possible results. Choosing an experienced ophthalmic surgeon working with their own dedicated team in an operating theatre designed specifically for eye surgery offers several key benefits that contribute to consistently high quality care and outcomes.

Experienced Surgeon

Dr Alex Buller is an experienced ophthalmic surgeon who has undergone extensive training and has years of hands-on experience in performing eye surgeries. This expertise ensures that your surgery is carried out with precision, reducing the risk of complications and improving the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Skilled Team

Dr Alex Buller is supported by a dedicated team of professionals, including specialised nurses and technicians, all of whom are trained in eye care. Working together regularly, our team has developed a deep understanding of the specific needs of eye surgery, ensuring smoother, more efficient procedures.

Specialised Operating Theatre

Our operating theatre is designed specifically for eye surgery and is equipped with the latest technology tailored to the precise needs of ophthalmic procedures. This focused environment helps maintain the highest standards of sterility, safety, and efficiency during surgery.

Minimised Distractions

When a surgical team works exclusively in an eye surgery setting, it allows for a level of focus and familiarity that isn't always possible in a general operating theatre. This leads to better patient care and quicker response times in case of any issues that arise during the procedure.

Consistent Teamwork

Because Dr Alex Buller and his team regularly work together, we have developed a streamlined workflow and effective communication. This consistency helps anticipate the needs of the surgery, reduces delays, and ensures all aspects of your care are managed seamlessly.

Personalised Attention

With a dedicated team, Dr Alex Buller can focus fully on the surgical procedure while the team takes care of everything else, ensuring that your experience is smooth, comfortable, and tailored to your specific needs.

The combination of expert skills, a specialised environment, and a coordinated team leads to consistency in quality, fewer complications, and faster recovery. This ensures that you receive the best possible outcome from your eye surgery. With our focus on precision, safety, and personalised care, you can feel confident that you’re in expert hands.
