About the eye clinic

Our team at Sapphire Eye Care East Grinstead has some of the most highly qualified eye care specialists in the country, with a global reputation. Our surgeons use the very best technology and, perhaps more importantly, are supported by experienced medical specialists. We cover a wide area of eye care including cataract surgery, vitreoretinal, wet AMD, dry AMD, cornea, glaucoma and oculoplastics.

We only look after eyes. From the staff who answer our phones and deal with your queries, to the nurses who care for you during and after your procedure, you are in the safest of hands. We even have our own team of anaesthetists to ensure your comfort and safety during your operation. Some of the things we do might seem unnecessary to other specialists, such as having our own team of dedicated anaesthetists. Or providing our cataract patients with lubricating eye drops for improved diagnostics. Or even ensuring you are always offered a private room on the day of your operation. But it’s the combination of these small extras that give our patients the consistently excellent outcomes that make such a difference.

We give every patient complete choice over their eye care at Sapphire Eye Care East Grinstead. From the hospital you have your treatment in to the type of lens we use in cataract surgery, your needs and your expectations are at the centre of how we work. We keep you fully informed from the outset of your treatment journey, ensuring your comfort and care throughout.

We’re a warm, friendly and approachable team, here to help you get your eyesight back to where you want it to be. We’re here to help you make the most of your life. That’s why you can choose where and when to have your treatment, so it fits around your plans. And because few of us have an endless pot of money, we give you clear pricing in advance, with no hidden fees.
