Please note that most surgical treatments can be performed under local anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia with safe, conscious intravenous sedation given by a very experienced and skilled consultant anaesthetist (known as “twilight anaesthesia”) is also available where requested. Patients are monitored throughout. This form of anaesthesia is extremely popular with our patients and the effects are reversed very quickly.

Any patients requiring general anaesthesia or who are unsuitable for surgery at our day case facility will be treated by our surgeons in a local private hospital (the Spire Manchester Hospital Whalley Range, The Spire Regency Hospital Macclesfield Cheshire, The Alexandra Hospital Cheadle, or The Private Wing of Manchester Royal Eye Hospital - The Manchester Centre for Vision).
