Moorfields Eye Hospital

Moorfields Eye Hospital, founded in 1805, is the oldest and largest eye hospital in the world. Based in London with over 30 satellite sites across London and surrounding areas, Moorfields is the UK's premier ophthalmic healthcare provider and a world-class center for eye research and education. Over half of all UK ophthalmologists have received specialist training at Moorfields. With more than 2,300 staff, the hospital treats more patients than any other eye hospital or clinic in the UK, handling everything from routine complaints to rare conditions not treatable elsewhere in the country. This extraordinary volume means Moorfields clinicians have unparalleled expertise and experience. The hospital's partnership with the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology forms one of the most productive and influential ophthalmic research programs in the world. Moorfields has been recognized by The Independent as the UK's best specialist eye hospital, noting its world-leading research and highest standards of specialist care. Key services include the Eye Prosthesis Department (the largest of its kind in the UK), Ocular Oncology (one of only four UK centers treating eye tumors including uveal melanoma), comprehensive pediatric ophthalmology, and specialist clinics for glaucoma, retinal disease, corneal disease, and neuro-ophthalmology. The hospital is also a major training center for ophthalmologists from around the world. Website: www.moorfields.nhs.uk
