Urgent and sight-threatening problems

This is not an urgent service. Please use your usual urgent pathway, rather than a routine referral to us, for:

  • Sudden loss or change of vision
  • A painful red eye
  • A lesion you suspect may be cancerous

How to refer

Email enquiries@theeyelidstudio.co.uk or call 024 7641 4302. Please include:

  • The patient’s name, date of birth and contact number
  • The reason for referral and any relevant findings
  • Relevant medical history and current medication, including any blood thinners
  • Confirmation that the patient is aware of, and happy with, the referral
  • Your name, practice and contact details, so we can reply

Patients can also contact us directly using the contact form. A referral letter is helpful but not required.

What happens next

  • We contact the patient to arrange a consultation with Rupinder
  • Rupinder assesses the patient and talks through the options, including whether treatment is needed
  • Treatment prices are confirmed at the end of the consultation, as The Eyelid Studio is a private service
  • We write back to the referring clinician with our findings and plan

Common questions from referrers

Do patients need a referral to be seen?

No. Patients can contact The Eyelid Studio directly. A referral letter from an optician or GP is helpful because it tells us what you have found and why you are referring.

Where are patients seen?
