Appointment Day

Process for new and returning patients visiting Moorfields Eye Hospitals UAE.

If you are attending Moorfields Eye Hospitals UAE for a consultation for the first time, we would like to inform you that, in order for us to provide you with the most comprehensive eye health assessment possible, and in line with our clinical guidelines and standards of care, the below process is followed for all new patients. If you are a returning patient, only some of the below may apply, on a case-by- case basis, depending on your treatment history, initial findings, and advice from your treating health care professional. Please note that all information obtained is recorded electronically and reviewed by the doctor prior to your consultation.

  • The nurse will check your general vital signs: weight, blood pressure and their ophthalmology
    equivalent: vision, eye pressure and measures your glasses prescription, if you wear glasses.

  • As per treating doctor (ophthalmologist) request, the nurse will carry out necessary investigations such as visual fields, eye photography, and/ or other tests, to be completed before your consultation with your doctor.

  • You may then need to be assessed by an optometrist, and/or an orthoptist, who will check your vision, movement of your eyes and your glasses or contact lenses.

  • The nurse or optometrist may need to instill dilating drops into your eyes prior to your consultation with your doctor to allow a proper check of the back of your eye, this may take up to 50 minutes.

  • Once dilation is complete, the doctor will review the findings and complete the eye assessment by shining bright light in your eyes, check the overall health of the eyes, and explain your results in detail.

 

We strive to keep your wait time at a minimum, and we appreciate your patience and trust in us.
