Services
Cataract surgery
Our cataract surgery utilises modern phacoemulsification techniques with premium intraocular lens options. Consultant surgeons perform comprehensive pre-operative assessments to determine optimal lens selection. Patients benefit from rapid recovery times and improved visual acuity post-surgery.
Corneal transplants
We offer full-thickness and lamellar corneal transplants under specialist licensing. Our ophthalmologists employ advanced microsurgical techniques for treating corneal dystrophies and trauma. The procedure includes comprehensive donor tissue screening and post-operative immunosuppression management.
Laser vision correction
Our laser vision correction includes LASIK and SMILE procedures for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Custom wavefront-guided treatments ensure optimal visual outcomes with minimal night vision disturbances. Pre-operative mapping guarantees precise ablation profiles.
Glaucoma treatment
We provide medical, laser, and surgical interventions for open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma. Treatment includes selective laser trabeculoplasty, trabeculectomy, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. Regular monitoring ensures disease progression control.
Vitrectomy
Our 27-gauge vitrectomy system treats macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and vitreous haemorrhages. Consultants perform membrane peeling and internal limiting membrane techniques with post-operative gas or silicone oil tamponade when required.

Report
I cannot recommend the Ayrshire Eye Clinic highly enough - Mr Srinivasan and his team are first class. From my initial consultation to the procedure to my after care - they could not have done more, every aspect was exemplary. I travelled from Glasgow and would do so again. To have this standard of clinic in Scotland is worth the trip.
