Outstanding results

First-hand experience
We were founded by an ophthalmology patient and an eye surgeon – so we understand how our patients feel and what they need.
Getting referred to Newmedica
If you think you have an eye condition, you should see your optician or GP for a detailed assessment. They’ll go through all the options available and tell you where you can have your treatment.
The referral process will differ slightly depending on whether you want to be an NHS or private patient. You’ll find all the information you need on our NHS and private patient pages.
