What to expect at your consultation
During your first visit, Mr Baneke will carry out a thorough examination of your eyes, discuss your symptoms and explain your treatment options. Most new consultations last around 30 minutes.
Before your appointment
You can drive to most routine follow-up appointments. However, some appointments (including your initial consultation, your first post-operative consultation, and any consultation where your symptoms have changed) may involve dilating eye drops, which blur your vision for around 3 hours. You should not drive during this time.
Mr Baneke is a consultant ophthalmologist specialising in cataract surgery and glaucoma. He trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital and sees patients from across Essex, including Chelmsford, Writtle, Great Baddow, Broomfield, Danbury and the surrounding villages. No GP referral is needed for a private appointment.
