June is Cataract Awareness Month and it's a timely reminder that cataracts remain one of the leading causes of vision impairment, especially as we age. Cataract treatment is highly effective and can restore clear vision for most people.

At MetWest Eye Centre, we’re proud to support patients throughout their cataract journey. Our consulting rooms are equipped with advanced diagnostic technology, and we work closely with experienced cataract surgeons to ensure every patient receives personalised, high-quality care.

From your first consultation to post-operative follow-up, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. Your vision is our priority.

Eye Injections are essential.

If you stop your eye injections, your risk permanently damaging your vision.

Even during lockdown you should still attend your appointment for eye injection.

If you’re receiving eye injections for wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular oedema or other retinal conditions, it is essential that you continue your regular eye injections with your ophthalmologist. If you stop eye injections, you risk permanently damaging your vision.

Eye injections are essential treatment, and you are not breaking any Government restrictions by attending your appointment with your ophthalmologist.
