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.
To book a private consultation, use the "Book Online" link on our website (available for Southend Private Hospital and Spire Hartswood only), call Paige on 07398 997 592, or email info@essexeyesurgery.co.uk.
