Manage and Treat your glaucoma with our 5-star Glaucoma clinic in London?
Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition which is detected by our Glaucoma specialists after careful and regular assessments for your eyes.
We call Glaucoma the ‘silent thief of sight’ because the condition quietly progresses over time, without any sudden noticeable signs or symptoms.
Glaucoma tends to run in families and certain groups are more at risk than others. We understand this can be worrying, which is why our Glaucoma specialists are here to help manage and treat your Glaucoma for a better and happier quality of life!
Glaucoma Conditions
- Open angle glaucoma
- Closed angle glaucoma
Glaucoma consultation
We already know that quality of life increases with the quality of clear vision, without needing to worry about losing sight in your future. Because Glaucoma is such an extensive condition with many treatment options, we carry out very comprehensive eye assessments to understand the best treatment options for your Glaucoma case.
When you first visit our Glaucoma clinic, you will meet our friendly technicians who will guide you through these detailed eye assessments. These assessments are designed to capture all angles of your eyes, measuring your corneal thickness, understanding your eyes behaviour and knowing what you can or can’t see in your peripheral vision.
On your second visit to our London clinic, your dedicated glaucoma specialist will have reviewed your assessments and made a diagnosis of your glaucoma type.
They will diagnose you privately and answer any questions you have about your glaucoma condition and the best treatment. Your Glaucoma specialist may do further pressure checks to determine the best solution to reduce high pressure in your eyes. Once you finish your consultation, you will have full confidence and awareness of the best glaucoma treatment options for your eyes.
Treatment, aftercare and monitoring Glaucoma
Treatment options we provide for your Glaucoma management
Glaucoma eye drops
Glaucoma drops are the most common first-line treatment for reducing high pressure in the eyes of patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. We provide the best preservative free eye drops as our patients.
Any eye drops given to you as an ongoing course of treatment will be medically provided based on your eye assessments, medical history and any allergies you may have.
Glaucoma eye surgery
HFDS (High-frequency deep sclerotomy) is a surgical procedure also suited to people who have mild to moderate open angle Glaucoma (chronic Glaucoma).
Our HFDS procedure is a very minimally invasive surgery which means only a very small 1.2mm incision is required to get inside your eye.
Our HFDS procedure is a very minimally invasive surgery which means only a very small 1.2mm incision is required to get inside your eye.
Our HFDS procedure is designed to let fluid naturally drain without needing any implant inserted which lowers the pressure in your eyes.
If you also suffer from cataracts, our Glaucoma specialist can remove your cataracts, as well as treat your Glaucoma, in this one procedure.
PreserFlo
preserFO is a surgical procedure also suited to people who have mild to moderate open angle Glaucoma (chronic Glaucoma).
Our Glaucoma specialist will create a small flap in your conjunctiva (the white part of your eye) and insert a small 8mm tube called a ‘PreserFlo Microshunt’.
This tube is inserted in the space between your iris and cornea (called the ‘anterior segment’) designed to lower eye pressure by letting fluid bypass the eyes tissue and drain out of the eye.
Our Glaucoma specialist will treat your eye with anti-scarring medication before the procedure is finished.
Glaucoma trabeculectomy
Glaucoma Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure most suited to people who have open angle Glaucoma (chronic Glaucoma).
In this procedure, our Glaucoma specialist makes a small incision into the white part of your eye called the ‘conjunctiva’ (just above your iris) and removes some trabecular meshwork (eye tissue) to form a small flap.
This flap serves as a trapdoor and will allow fluid to escape the eye and reabsorb into the body safely without any further damage to your optic nerve.
You cannot see this flap after the surgery has finished because the flap is very small and unnoticeable. Our Trabeculectomy procedure allows excess fluid to pass through the eye easily and lower high pressure in your eyes.
Glaucoma canaloplasty
Glaucoma Canaloplasty is a procedure to enlarge the drainage canal in your eye and reduce intraocular pressure for people diagnosed with open angle glaucoma.
Once a tiny incision is made to gain access to a canal in the eye, our Glaucoma specialist will insert a small microcatheter to help the pressure in your eye flow naturally.
Most patients say they wish they’d treat their Glaucoma sooner!
Many people who have Glaucoma do not realize how their vision has deteriorated.
Glaucoma is a gradual thief of sight which can gradually affect a person without them knowing.
Life after Glaucoma Treatment & management

Hear from our satisfied patients
I had Cataract surgery, amazing, life changing. I have worn glasses for most of my life now glasses free. Friendly, professional and reassuring , can’t thank them enough.
I have attended the my-Iclinic for a number of years and always found them to be excellent. When I needed a cataract operation they were the obvious choice. The whole procedure went like clockwork and was completely painless. My eyesight is vastly improved. I would highly recommend the I clinic to anyone as the equipment they use is cutting edge and there is a continuity of care as you always see the same consultant. The staff are very friendly and approachable.
I saw Mr Bolger for cataract surgery with lens implants earlier this year. This is a word-of-mouth clinic, well worth the journey quite far into north London. The whole place feels 100% clinically led by its two consultants. Close attention to detail is in evidence everywhere, from reception right through to follow-up. No one relishes eye procedures, but this was a good experience, with clear and patient communication, plus excellent written information to take away. I was so glad to be there in purpose-built surroundings, under the care of an experienced surgeon and his own team, rather than in a rushed NHS setting, or in the typically more commercial atmosphere of Harley Street.
Look no further! I researched for over a year to find the best laser eye clinic for my complex astigmatic eyes to see if laser surgery would benefit me and this clinic is it! Great service from all the team, especially optician Bharvi and John himself. Lovely comfortable practice, super modern equipment with some incredible machines! The superb surgeon John Bolger has been practicing for decades, is top of his field and lectures all over the world. To top it all off there is tea and coffee on tap! There are chepaer surgeons out there but these are your eyes so you want the best! And its worth it!
I have had double cataract removal and my vision was adjusted. I cannot praise My-iclinic highly enough. It was a stress free experience from pre-op to surgery then post-op. I felt extremely reassured and was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner with much care and attention. I can see without glasses for the first time in 30 years, and everything is so clear and bright. Many thanks to Bola Odufuwa-Bolger who performed the surgery.
I had the SMILE procedure in July - it’s now September and my vision is perfect. The procedure was painless and I recovered quickly (I could see clearly after a few hours and completely the day following the procedure). John Bolger was thoughtful, honest and professional. Even though the clinic is quite out of the way for me, I’m glad I made the effort to travel for the level of care.
I had cataracts removed in both eyes and was very pleased with how the operation went and the results. I can see! The operation itself was painless and there was only a day or so of mild discomfort afterwards. The initial consultation, operation and follow-up appointment were all efficiently run and consultant Ms Bola Odufuwa-Bolger and team were friendly, helpful and informative, putting me at ease at all times. I would recommend My-iClinic to anyone considering cataract surgery.
Can’t recommend enough! Every single member of staff has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable! Very clean and welcoming too.
Great surgery, excellent team, deep knowledge of eye business - no wonder Dr.Bolger was chosen by Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth. He literally gave me ability to read again glasses free, although other clinics couldn’t do it
Some years ago I chose My-iClinic to have a double Cataract operation which has changed my life considerably. I now have almost perfect vision without needing glasses or lenses. From the initial consultation right through to post-op, I couldn't have been cared for any better. Mr Bulger has created an excellent team. Recently, I revisited the clinic for my annual examination which revealed that one of my eyes had become a little lazy. I met with the very thorough Fatima, the resident Optometrist & Orthoptist who quite simply put my eyes in the gym with a series of exercises to be completed at home I am happy to report that after 3 weeks I am beginning to notice improvement. Without hesitation, I would unreservedly recommend My-iClinic.
It has been a few months since I had Presbyond eye surgery at My-iClinic, and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I no longer need glasses and can see the world with my own eyes, which has given me an incredible sense of freedom—something I didn't fully appreciate until after the surgery. Mr. Bolger, the surgeon, clearly and calmly explained every aspect of the process, from the results of the various tests to what would happen on the day of the operation. This put my mind at ease and made me feel confident in my decision. The operation went very smoothly thanks to Mr. Bolger's expertise. I'm glad I was operated on by one of the top eye surgeons in the country. The staff were also professional and kind throughout my visits. This summer, I took my daughter to a planetarium, and it was just incredible to experience it without glasses. I highly recommend My-iClinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery.
Hello - I came with Glaucoma problem - i done a clear lens extractions as treatment for my problem - Dr . Bala Odufuwa - Borger was amazing - she is great and she gave me lots of confindence from the begining - I AM VERY WELL NOW After surgery !! Thank you Doctor and i wish you all the best !

How vision correction saves our planet
Almost 800 million plastic contact lenses are used by 4 million people each year.- 100,000 tons of plastic are wasted from glasses.
How restoring your natural sight with vision correction treatment is helping the climate change crisis
By 2050 the World Health Organization predicts 4.9 million people will suffer from Myopia which not only affects people's natural sight and quality of life, but also contributes to the masses of plastic waste in our climate.
We understand how vision correction treatment is a healthier and natural way to not only restore your clear vision, but as an opportunity to see our climate become clean and bright for future generations to come!
When undergoing laser eye surgery, you may not realise it but you are already making a positive difference to the environment.
For every 10 years of contact lens wearing the amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean is roughly the same as your own body weight.
Over your tree’s long life, you can visit it, introduce it to your family and track its growth and value! Over the lifetime of the tree, it will more than offset the carbon you've used with your contacts/glasses. When the tree is harvested, its value will be yours and new trees are planted to replace it.

Glaucoma Frequently asked questions
Have a question? We are here to help.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition that causes the pressure inside the eye to be too high (called intraocular pressure or IOP). If left untreated, this excessive pressure can damage the nerve that carries the vision to the brain; in severe cases, this can lead to blindness.
What are the different types of Glaucoma?
There are many different types and stages of Glaucoma. The two main types are open-angle Glaucoma (also known as chronic Glaucoma), and narrow-angle Glaucoma (also known as angle-closure Glaucoma). Most of the time, when people talk of Glaucoma, they are referring to open-angle type (chronic Glaucoma). Open angle Glaucoma is described as the silent thief of sight because the loss of vision is painless but continues to affect the eye’s ability to see.
Am I at risk of Glaucoma and how can I check for Glaucoma?
You are most likely at risk of Glaucoma if you are:
- 60 years old or over
- Of African descent
- Have a positive family history of Glaucoma
- Have reduced corneal thickness
- Are very short-sighted or very long-sighted
- Have had prolonged use of steroid eye drops
- Have Diabetes
- Have high pressure in the eyes (High intraocular pressure)
Am I suitable for all Glaucoma treatments?
You will be suitable for all Glaucoma treatments depending on the type of Glaucoma you have. We provide a comprehensive range of Glaucoma treatments for slight to severe Glaucoma cases:
- Glaucoma Eye drops
- Glaucoma Laser Treatment
- Glaucoma Eye Surgery
Are your Glaucoma Treatments safe?
Our Glaucoma treatment options are safe but there is always a chance there can be side effects and/or risks. Depending on the type of Glaucoma treatment you are suitable for some of the risks may include:
- Scarring on the eyeball
- Infection in the eye
- Cataract (when the naturally clear lens in your eye gets cloudy)
- Need for a second Glaucoma surgery or removal of the implant
How do I know which Glaucoma treatment is best for me?
Depending on the type of Glaucoma you have, our specialists will be able to advise the most medically appropriate treatment for you. This will be appropriately advised by our Glaucoma specialist based on the detailed eye assessments we carry out for you in your private Glaucoma consultation. This will give our Glaucoma specialist the best understanding of your Glaucoma condition and its potential progression in the future and which of our treatments will provide the most successful outcome for your eye health and everyday vision.
How much does Glaucoma treatment & management cost?
Our Glaucoma treatments start from £450 (the price of your private Glaucoma consultation with our specialist). We understand that Glaucoma needs to be carefully monitored and managed throughout the years. That is why we offer our two management packages which are all inclusive of pressure checks, further eye assessments and eye drops.
What is included in your Glaucoma management packages and why might I need one?
Our Glaucoma management clinic provides two annual packages for comprehensive Glaucoma check-ups, assessment and any further checks needed when we monitor your Glaucoma and treatment. These packages include unlimited pressure checks, visual fields and OCT scans. Because Glaucoma is an ongoing disease of the eye, we will need to monitor your progress at a minimum of twice a year to understand the health of your eye and your Glaucoma symptoms after treatment.
- Glaucoma Annual Management Package
- Glaucoma Annual Screening Package
How can My-iClinic determine the type and stage of my Glaucoma?
At our London Glaucoma clinic, we use various scanning equipment and technology to investigate and capture the back of your eyes, this includes seeing any vision loss you might be experiencing without knowing. Our equipment is highly advanced in capturing the stage of your Glaucoma and how your Glaucoma may get worse without a particular treatment.
Can Glaucoma be completely cured?
Unfortunately there is no cure for Glaucoma which is why we always encourage people to get regular eye checks with their opticians to catch Glaucoma in its early stages. Our Glaucoma specialists can then help you manage your Glaucoma case by prescribing eye drops or treat serious Glaucoma conditions with our laser treatments and/or eye surgeries.
