At Sapphire, we specialise in premium eye care. Simple. Vision acts as the doorway to our experiences, underpinning nearly all of our daily interactions, and so remedying the distress that comes with any vision issue is central to our approach.

With us, every measure is taken to ensure your well-being and satisfaction — from our leading-edge treatments to our dedicated effort in making your visit as comfortable and precise as possible. We boast a team of the country’s most esteemed eye care professionals and leverage some of the most advanced technological tools and facilities worldwide.

Man being tested for his eye health ahead of cataract surgery

World-leading surgeons

Our team has some of the most highly qualified eye care specialists in the country, with a global reputation. Our surgeons use the very best implements and material and, perhaps more importantly, are supported by experienced medical specialists. We cover a wide area of eye care including cataract, refractive lens exchange (RLE), vitreoretinal, wet AMD, dry AMD, cornea, glaucoma and oculoplastics.

We only look after eyes

From the staff who answer our phones and deal with your queries, to the nurses who care for you during and after your procedure, you are in the safest of hands. We even have our own team of anaesthetists to ensure your comfort and safety during your operation.

We obsess on the small things

Some of the things we do might seem unnecessary to other specialists, such as having our own team of dedicated anaesthetists. Or providing our cataract patients with lubricating eye drops for improved diagnostics. Or even ensuring you are always offered a private room on the day of your operation. But it’s the combination of these small extras that give our patients the consistently excellent outcomes that make such a difference.

We believe your eyes, your choice

We give every patient complete choice over their eye care. From the hospital you have your treatment in to the type of lens we use in cataract surgery, your needs and your expectations are at the centre of how we work. We keep you fully informed from the outset of your treatment journey, ensuring your comfort and care throughout.

We are professional yet approachable

You might worry that because we’re so specialist, our approach could feel clinical and intimidating. However, if you read our patient reviews or case studies, you’ll see you have nothing to worry about. We’re a warm, friendly and team of real people, here to help you get your eyesight back to where you want it to be.

We’re practical, honest and fast

We’re here to help you make the most of your life. That’s why you can choose where and when to have your treatment, so it fits around your plans. And because few of us have an endless pot of money, we give you clear pricing in advance, with no hidden fees. We don’t offer special discounts for signing up on the spot, so you’ll never feel pressured to make a decision.

We’re uncompromisingly committed to excellence

Though we offer a range of specialised services, from cataract surgery to complex vitreoretinal treatments, we pride ourselves that no matter what you are engaging with us about, we deliver unbelievable service to you. From your first interaction with our team to last surgical check-up, quality care and excellence in all is what we do and what we have become known for – and proudly so.
