see THE BENEFITS

Improve Your Vision

The treatment of macular degeneration can help improve vision and slow down the progression of the disease, allowing individuals to maintain their ability to see fine details and perform daily tasks.

Maintain Your Independence

Early treatment can help maintain independence by preserving the ability to perform daily tasks, such as driving, reading, and watching television.

Slow Down The Progression

By treating macular degeneration, the progression of the disease can be slowed down. This can help individuals maintain their quality of life and avoid the need for additional treatments.

Macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease that affects the central vision. Currently, there is no cure for this condition, but there are treatments that can help slow down its progression and improve vision. One of the most common treatments is the use of antioxidant vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and zinc. In wet Macular Degeneration, injections of medicines can be used to block the growth of blood vessels that contribute to the degeneration of the macula.

The Eye Surgery Hastings tests every patient at every visit, tailors care to each individual case, and routinely uses both aflibercept and bevacizumab (Avastin) injections. The single level site with wide doors and non-slip flooring is ideal for patients with low vision or mobility challenges.

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.
