The A&E is for eye emergencies only.
Any free nearby parking facilities at Sunderland eye infirmary?
Is disable parking free
Yes. If it is your first time to park, there is a phone inside the hospital to register your vehicle.
Watery eye is not an emergency. A&E should only be used for emergency situation. You could wait up to 4hrs in the A&E if your condition is not deemed to be an emergency. GP are quite capable of dealinf with watery eyes.
I would like to book an appointment rather than walk in and wait is this an option?
You will need a referral from your GP to book an appointment. You can't book appointments in A&E
Can you park for 24 hours and what is the charge?
Parking in the hospital car park is expensive, you can continually top up via phone or internet. Signage is everywhere and fines for exceeding your ticket are high. However, it is possible to park for free on the road alongside the hospital. I would not recommend parking at the hospital for 24hrs.
Does the clinic offer lens replacement?
If you're talking intraocular surgery, then yes, as a private patient.
Are records available of laser surgery conducted by Mr Phelan in 1997 available .I need pre operatine corneal measurements as I need cataract surgery
If the records apply to yourself they may be available. Ring Sunderland Eye Hospital admin for info or, if you're not getting cataracts done at Sunderland ( they are very good) , your medical practitioners should be able to get your info on the NHS computer system.
