eye examination

For patients

The resources and information we provide for patients should not replace advice given by medical and other healthcare professionals supporting patients and their eye care programme.

The Royal College of Ophthalmologists works with regulatory health bodies, heath services and charities within the eye sector. We lead on recommendations and guidance, based on research and evidence, for the best patient outcomes.  We provide FAQs and patient leaflets to help you understand more about eye diseases, and what those involved in the management of eye care do.

We do not provide clinical advice as that is best managed by the health care professional or consultant that you are seeing.
