What we do

Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is the leading provider of eye health services in the UK and a world-class centre of excellence for ophthalmic research and education. We have a reputation, developed over two centuries, for providing the highest quality of ophthalmic care. Our 2,500 staff are committed to sustaining and building on our pioneering legacy and ensuring we remain at the cutting edge of developments in ophthalmology.

 

The best in modern clinical care

Our main focus is the treatment and care of NHS patients with a wide range of eye problems, from common complaints to rare conditions that require treatment not available elsewhere in the UK.  The volume and variety of conditions treated by our clinicians means that they have a unique range of skills and knowledge.

 

Care closer to home

We treat people over 21 sites in and around London. This means that we can provide more first-class care and treatment in the community, closer to where people live and work. View our locations.
