see THE BENEFITS

Preserve Your Vision

Early treatment of glaucoma helps to preserve your vision and prevent further damage to the optic nerve, a process which can silently cause severe and irreversible vision loss and even blindness.

Improve Your Quality of Life

Preserving vision and reducing the risk of further vision loss can greatly improve an individual's ability to perform daily tasks. Even mild glaucoma causes predictable eyesight difficulties that are not always consciously recognised.

Enjoy The Experience

Be seen on time, in a fun environment and easy access. Have plenty of time with staff, and all the time you need to ask questions.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can lead to vision loss and blindness by damaging the optic nerve. The most common treatment for glaucoma is Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, or medication in the form of eye drops to lower the pressure within the eye. In more severe cases surgery may be required, such as Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery, Trabeculectomy or Drainage Tube Implant surgery.

Glaucoma can be mimicked by many other diseases and it is important to make sure your diagnosis is accurate so that your treatment is appropriate.

It is also important to ensure appropriate intervals between glaucoma testing and reviews as sight can be lost at any stage and this is irreversible.

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.
