Frequently asked questions

What is an Ophthalmologist?

An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specialising in eye and vision care. They have trained specifically in various aspects of eye disease and ophthalmic surgery.

How much does it cost to see an Ophthalmologist privately?

The cost to see an Ophthalmologist can vary widely based on the services required, location, and whether the care is public via NHS or private. For specific fee structures, it’s best to see our pricing page here, or simply contact Sapphire Eye Care directly.

How long is the average wait time to see a Sapphire Ophthalmologist?

Sapphire Eye Care prides itself on offering timely appointments. The average wait time can vary, but we strive to see patients as soon as possible, often within one to two weeks. For the most accurate wait times, please schedule an appointment by contacting our team here.

What is the difference between an Optometrist vs Ophthalmologist?

An Optometrist is an eye care professional who can perform eye exams, prescribe corrective lenses, and diagnose common eye conditions. An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor with the ability to perform eye exams, prescribe medications, and carry out eye surgery. They can treat more complex eye conditions and provide a higher level of medical care. For more information on our Ophthalmologists, visit our team page here.

How can I find an Ophthalmologist near me?

To find a Sapphire Ophthalmologist near you, visit our clinic locator page here. You can find detailed information about each of our locations and the services offered, ensuring you find the perfect match for your eye care needs.

What are the advantages of a private Ophthalmologist vs NHS?

Private Ophthalmologists such as Sapphire can offer shorter wait times – in some cases just weeks instead of years in the NHS system – more personalised service, flexible scheduling, higher quality materials and often more time dedicated to each appointment. They may also have access to more advanced treatments and technologies. Learn more about the benefits of choosing Sapphire Eye Care here.
