Ophthalmology team
We have a large team of allied health professionals who support the consultants. We have healthcare assistants and ophthalmic technicians. They are trained and have specialist skills to carry out diagnostic tests and assist with surgical and laser procedures.
At Torbay we have been national leaders in pioneering training and development of ophthalmic specialist nurses.
Our nurses:
- deliver the majority of our intravitreal treatments
- deliver ophthalmic local anaesthetics before surgery
- hold clinics
- triage our emergency calls
We have a team of orthoptists who care for:
- people with eye movement problems
- help assess children’s vision and visual development
