Patients at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead will now benefit from the purchase of high-precision laser technology.

The £200,000 investment in a femtosecond laser allows the specialist team in the eye unit to use ultra-short infrared laser pulses to treat a range of conditions, including cornea transplants and cataract surgery, with an exceptional degree of precision.

According to a clinical audit, eye surgery at Queen Victoria Hospital performs well above national average standards.
