Moorfields Eye Hospital FAQs
Which are the walk in hours to come?
Moorfields A&E department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are based in Moorfields Eye Hospital in City Road, central London.
Please note that we are not a general A&E and can only help with eye conditions.
Do you need to be referred by gp?
If it's an emergency, no just walk in accident and emergency
Can I come and make an appointment
If you have a problem with your eyes, go asap to A&E at Moorfields. You will be seen by a Triage nurse and then directed through into 1 of 2 sitting areas. Yes, it maybe quite a wait if they are busy but their professionalism and the quality of the care they give you is second t none. Brilliant hospital. Amazing staff. I know.. I'm a patient there having walked in with a sore eye 4 years ago. If you have an urgent need to see an eye doctor you do not need to be referred. Go asap to A&E. It may take some time but you will receive help.no you don't , you go to the Moorfields a&e dept.
They will assess what is wrong & you will then have a follow up appointment.
Is emergency clinics open on Saturday evening ?
Yes indeed, they are open
Can you turn up for a second opinion on your eyes?
According to them no. It's no for second opinions. You'll have to get your GP to send a referral through for outpatients
I want to know is this serious or not ,
My optician's has told me I've got a tear and a hole in my retina my doctor's is not taking it seriously and I'm still waiting because they said this is not urgent
It does sound bad. It may be you should try A&E.
Go back to the hospital, either see your original consultant, or go to their A+E department.
Hi, do they have parking?
Thanks
There is no parking at thr hospitsl (unless youre a Blue Badge holfer). The hospital is just within the Congestion Zone, which is also the Ultra Low Emission Zone. There is a daily charge for both of these, but you need to be aware or you could get a Penalty Charge Notice for entering the Zone. Also, if your car is not compliant to emission standards (eg, a diesel car that is not Euro 6) you have to pay an hourly diesel surcharge. It really is bonkers but if you sre on City Road outside the hospital and don't enter the hospital by car, you'll be fine to quickly drop off the patient.
There is a car park on the other side but it is not free.
After eye surgery can I cover the eye with tissue?
You need to call the hospital for correct answer
Yesterday, my optician told me I have a macular hole, stage 4 . He will write to my GP. This could take ages, more than a year to "be seen by a specialist." Could I attend Moorfields AE Dept or could I phone for an appointment?
I am sorry but I don't speak Portuguese.
What is the nearest tube station to the hospital
Old Street station. When you tap out of the station you will see a green line on the floor. Follow it all the way to the hospital (5 min walk)

Please can I go to moorfields Eye Hospital for prosthetic eye?
Talk to your health care professional or gp as this does seem like something Moorfields can help with but you would probably need a referral.
