Manage and Treat your glaucoma with our 5-star Glaucoma clinic in London?
Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition which is detected by our Glaucoma specialists after careful and regular assessments for your eyes.
We call Glaucoma the ‘silent thief of sight’ because the condition quietly progresses over time, without any sudden noticeable signs or symptoms.
Glaucoma tends to run in families and certain groups are more at risk than others. We understand this can be worrying, which is why our Glaucoma specialists are here to help manage and treat your Glaucoma for a better and happier quality of life!
Glaucoma Conditions
- Open angle glaucoma
- Closed angle glaucoma
Glaucoma consultation
We already know that quality of life increases with the quality of clear vision, without needing to worry about losing sight in your future. Because Glaucoma is such an extensive condition with many treatment options, we carry out very comprehensive eye assessments to understand the best treatment options for your Glaucoma case.
When you first visit our Glaucoma clinic, you will meet our friendly technicians who will guide you through these detailed eye assessments. These assessments are designed to capture all angles of your eyes, measuring your corneal thickness, understanding your eyes behaviour and knowing what you can or can’t see in your peripheral vision.
On your second visit to our London clinic, your dedicated glaucoma specialist will have reviewed your assessments and made a diagnosis of your glaucoma type.
They will diagnose you privately and answer any questions you have about your glaucoma condition and the best treatment. Your Glaucoma specialist may do further pressure checks to determine the best solution to reduce high pressure in your eyes. Once you finish your consultation, you will have full confidence and awareness of the best glaucoma treatment options for your eyes.

Treatment options we provide for your Glaucoma management
Glaucoma eye drops
Glaucoma drops are the most common first-line treatment for reducing high pressure in the eyes of patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. We provide the best preservative free eye drops as our patients.
Any eye drops given to you as an ongoing course of treatment will be medically provided based on your eye assessments, medical history and any allergies you may have.
15-minute free consultation with our expert.
Glaucoma eye surgery
HFDS (High-frequency deep sclerotomy) is a surgical procedure also suited to people who have mild to moderate open angle Glaucoma (chronic Glaucoma).
Our HFDS procedure is a very minimally invasive surgery which means only a very small 1.2mm incision is required to get inside your eye.
Our HFDS procedure is a very minimally invasive surgery which means only a very small 1.2mm incision is required to get inside your eye.
Our HFDS procedure is designed to let fluid naturally drain without needing any implant inserted which lowers the pressure in your eyes.
If you also suffer from cataracts, our Glaucoma specialist can remove your cataracts, as well as treat your Glaucoma, in this one procedure.
PreserFlo
preserFO is a surgical procedure also suited to people who have mild to moderate open angle Glaucoma (chronic Glaucoma).
Our Glaucoma specialist will create a small flap in your conjunctiva (the white part of your eye) and insert a small 8mm tube called a ‘PreserFlo Microshunt’.
This tube is inserted in the space between your iris and cornea (called the ‘anterior segment’) designed to lower eye pressure by letting fluid bypass the eyes tissue and drain out of the eye.
Our Glaucoma specialist will treat your eye with anti-scarring medication before the procedure is finished.
Glaucoma trabeculectomy
Glaucoma Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure most suited to people who have open angle Glaucoma (chronic Glaucoma).
In this procedure, our Glaucoma specialist makes a small incision into the white part of your eye called the ‘conjunctiva’ (just above your iris) and removes some trabecular meshwork (eye tissue) to form a small flap.
This flap serves as a trapdoor and will allow fluid to escape the eye and reabsorb into the body safely without any further damage to your optic nerve.
You cannot see this flap after the surgery has finished because the flap is very small and unnoticeable. Our Trabeculectomy procedure allows excess fluid to pass through the eye easily and lower high pressure in your eyes.
15-minute free consultation with our expert.
Glaucoma canaloplasty
Glaucoma Canaloplasty is a procedure to enlarge the drainage canal in your eye and reduce intraocular pressure for people diagnosed with open angle glaucoma.
Once a tiny incision is made to gain access to a canal in the eye, our Glaucoma specialist will insert a small microcatheter to help the pressure in your eye flow naturally.
Most patients say they wish they’d treat their Glaucoma sooner!
Many people who have Glaucoma do not realize how their vision has deteriorated.
Glaucoma is a gradual thief of sight which can gradually affect a person without them knowing.
Life after Glaucoma Treatment & management

Hear from our satisfied patients
The surgeon was excellent, the staff very pleasant and knowledgeable. The atmosphere in the clinic was serene and unhurried.As I said to Bola my surgeon she really is a miracle worker, making "the blind to see". I had bilateral cataract surgery, and afterwards I could see without aid which I had not been able to do for 65 years.
I have had cataract removed from both of my eyes at My-iClinic, with last surgery done yesterday 06-02-2023. On both occasions, the medical side of the surgery was carried out with level of professionalism in a state of the art environment. The clinic cleaniless is outstanding.
Brilliant Treatment resulted in Brilliant Vision After noticing that my distance vision when driving was becoming uncomfortable and driving at night was becoming more and more difficult and new prescription glasses didn’t make much difference I decided to have cataract surgery. A friend recommended I have a consultation at the I-Clinic. Their professional examination was really Impressive and I had my totally painless operation to remove the cataracts (on both eyes) completed within the next four weeks.
I was recommended to Mr Bulger by a friend and was very pleased with the entire process for removing cataracts and improving my vision remarkably. It really is a miracle. All of the staff were kind and attentive and with Mr Bulger I felt that I was in very safe hands. Follow up activity was with Ms Odufuwa who was most helpful and attentive
I cannot praise My-Iclinic enough from my initial consultation to pre op and my surgery. The staff are reassuring and extremely professional in every aspect of the process. Mrs Bola Oduwufa is a wonderful surgeon and a magician in my eyes !!!. My double cataract extraction and lens replacement has improved my eyesight 1000%.I didn’t realise how flat and dull the colours and perspective of seeing life through my eyes had become due to the cataracts.
The care taken by all the clinic staff to ensure that I was comfortable, kept informed of what was being done to my eye and made to feel relaxed during the pre op tests was of an extremely high standard The surgeon was thorough, in the initial meeting, in explaining the problems and procedure that she would use to remove my cataracts.
Fantastic results. I was so impressed by all the staff and the extensive pre and post op test and scans which has resulted in 20:20 vision. My surgeon made the double cataract operation as easy a process as possible with re-assurance at all steps. Highly, highly recommended
Absolutely fantastic team, highly recommended! I was extremely nervous about my LASIK surgery but the girls looked after me and put me at ease, everything from the consultation to surgery to the follow ups checks was a smooth process, phone calls and emails answered quickly, clinic easy to find, free parking onsite, clinic and equipment all very clean, thank you ladies x
Excellent service. Mike Charman set up my contract easily with a very competitive price. He was friendly and answered all my questions. Thank you
My daughter have myopia and she received a wonderful care from all the team I recommend this clinic to all parents who have a child suffering from myopia now my child in a safe hands thank you Mr. Bolger and thanks to all the team 🌹🙏
My-iClinic was recommended by my optometrist. Both eyes were done quickly, painlessly and by a friendly team and one of two expert eye surgeons. Mr Bolger inspires confidence. I think I've had mine done early before the cataracts developed too much, which I recommend. The clarity is wonderful. Don't wait for your vision to get worse.
I am a absolutely terrified of anybody going near my eyes, it took a lot of courage to go ahead with treatment. During treatment the nurses and everybody concerned made great efforts to give me confidence. The staff were very friendly and thorough in their approach with attention to detail at every stage. I could have had the treatment in Cyprus at a much lower cost - but finally decided that My-iClinic from reports I had read and comments made to me was the best option. All the time remember you only have one set of eyes - and I have always felt it is your most important sense

How vision correction saves our planet
Almost 800 million plastic contact lenses are used by 4 million people each year.- 100,000 tons of plastic are wasted from glasses.
How restoring your natural sight with vision correction treatment is helping the climate change crisis
By 2050 the World Health Organization predicts 4.9 million people will suffer from Myopia which not only affects people's natural sight and quality of life, but also contributes to the masses of plastic waste in our climate.
We understand how vision correction treatment is a healthier and natural way to not only restore your clear vision, but as an opportunity to see our climate become clean and bright for future generations to come!
When undergoing laser eye surgery, you may not realise it but you are already making a positive difference to the environment.
For every 10 years of contact lens wearing the amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean is roughly the same as your own body weight.
Over your tree’s long life, you can visit it, introduce it to your family and track its growth and value! Over the lifetime of the tree, it will more than offset the carbon you've used with your contacts/glasses. When the tree is harvested, its value will be yours and new trees are planted to replace it.

Glaucoma Frequently asked questions
Have a question? We are here to help.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition that causes the pressure inside the eye to be too high (called intraocular pressure or IOP). If left untreated, this excessive pressure can damage the nerve that carries the vision to the brain; in severe cases, this can lead to blindness.
What are the different types of Glaucoma?
There are many different types and stages of Glaucoma. The two main types are open-angle Glaucoma (also known as chronic Glaucoma), and narrow-angle Glaucoma (also known as angle-closure Glaucoma). Most of the time, when people talk of Glaucoma, they are referring to open-angle type (chronic Glaucoma). Open angle Glaucoma is described as the silent thief of sight because the loss of vision is painless but continues to affect the eye’s ability to see.
Am I at risk of Glaucoma and how can I check for Glaucoma?
You are most likely at risk of Glaucoma if you are:
- 60 years old or over
- Of African descent
- Have a positive family history of Glaucoma
- Have reduced corneal thickness
- Are very short-sighted or very long-sighted
- Have had prolonged use of steroid eye drops
- Have Diabetes
- Have high pressure in the eyes (High intraocular pressure)
Am I suitable for all Glaucoma treatments?
You will be suitable for all Glaucoma treatments depending on the type of Glaucoma you have. We provide a comprehensive range of Glaucoma treatments for slight to severe Glaucoma cases:
- Glaucoma Eye drops
- Glaucoma Laser Treatment
- Glaucoma Eye Surgery
Are your Glaucoma Treatments safe?
Our Glaucoma treatment options are safe but there is always a chance there can be side effects and/or risks. Depending on the type of Glaucoma treatment you are suitable for some of the risks may include:
- Scarring on the eyeball
- Infection in the eye
- Cataract (when the naturally clear lens in your eye gets cloudy)
- Need for a second Glaucoma surgery or removal of the implant
How do I know which Glaucoma treatment is best for me?
Depending on the type of Glaucoma you have, our specialists will be able to advise the most medically appropriate treatment for you. This will be appropriately advised by our Glaucoma specialist based on the detailed eye assessments we carry out for you in your private Glaucoma consultation. This will give our Glaucoma specialist the best understanding of your Glaucoma condition and its potential progression in the future and which of our treatments will provide the most successful outcome for your eye health and everyday vision.
How much does Glaucoma treatment & management cost?
Our Glaucoma treatments start from £450 (the price of your private Glaucoma consultation with our specialist). We understand that Glaucoma needs to be carefully monitored and managed throughout the years. That is why we offer our two management packages which are all inclusive of pressure checks, further eye assessments and eye drops.
What is included in your Glaucoma management packages and why might I need one?
Our Glaucoma management clinic provides two annual packages for comprehensive Glaucoma check-ups, assessment and any further checks needed when we monitor your Glaucoma and treatment. These packages include unlimited pressure checks, visual fields and OCT scans. Because Glaucoma is an ongoing disease of the eye, we will need to monitor your progress at a minimum of twice a year to understand the health of your eye and your Glaucoma symptoms after treatment.
- Glaucoma Annual Management Package
- Glaucoma Annual Screening Package
How can My-iClinic determine the type and stage of my Glaucoma?
At our London Glaucoma clinic, we use various scanning equipment and technology to investigate and capture the back of your eyes, this includes seeing any vision loss you might be experiencing without knowing. Our equipment is highly advanced in capturing the stage of your Glaucoma and how your Glaucoma may get worse without a particular treatment.
Can Glaucoma be completely cured?
Unfortunately there is no cure for Glaucoma which is why we always encourage people to get regular eye checks with their opticians to catch Glaucoma in its early stages. Our Glaucoma specialists can then help you manage your Glaucoma case by prescribing eye drops or treat serious Glaucoma conditions with our laser treatments and/or eye surgeries.
