About this clinic
The Galashiels clinic offers a convenient and supportive environment for patients living in the Scottish Borders. Here, optometrist-led consultations are available for cataract assessments, laser vision correction, and refractive lens exchange. This appointment is typically the only one required before surgery, which takes place at Vision Scotland’s surgical facilities in Edinburgh or Glasgow. After treatment, patients can return to Galashiels for their follow-up care, or work with their own local optometrist, allowing for minimal disruption and easy access to ongoing support. With easy parking, approachable staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, the Galashiels clinic makes high-quality eye care more accessible to those outside Scotland’s major cities.
Vision Scotland has been providing consultant-led ophthalmology services since 2013, with clinics across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Aberdeen, and Galashiels. The team carries out over 4,000 procedures a year, including cataract surgery, refractive lens exchange, laser vision correction, and treatments for glaucoma and other eye conditions. Patients see the same consultant from their first appointment through to surgery and follow-up, and receive guidance on a wide range of lens types tailored to their lifestyle. Consultations are comprehensive and unrushed, with a focus on honest communication, transparent pricing, and patient choice. Across all clinics, Vision Scotland is committed to making high-quality eye care accessible, prompt, and personal.
