Why private eye care with Dr Tatham?

Personalised & Continuous Care
Dr Tatham takes the time to understand your unique vision needs, lifestyle, and health history. This allows for a customised treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Unlike with some clinics, you will see your surgeon Dr Tatham from your first visit through to surgery and aftercare.
Shorter Waiting Times & Flexible Appointments
Many eye conditions require early treatment for the best outcomes. Being seen privately means no waiting times and more flexibility—making it easier to get the care you need when you need it.
Access to Advanced Technology & Treatments
Dr Tatham has access to state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and the latest laser and surgical treatment options, ensuring more accurate assessments and treatment.
