Eastbourne eye clinic’s new partnership brings more specialist care to the community
Residents in East Sussex are to benefit from a wider range of eye care services following a new partnership between a local clinic and award-winning, Harley Street-based specialist group OCL Vision.
Eastbourne Vision, led by Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Mr Shahram Kashani, will continue to operate from its Polegate premises, with Mr Kashani remaining responsible for all patient care.
For local people in East Sussex this means seeing the surgeon and familiar team they already trust, but now with access to enhanced technology, additional specialist expertise and more treatment options close to home.
The partnership will allow the clinic to offer expanded services across cataract surgery, vision correction, glaucoma care and complex eye conditions, helping reduce the need for patients to travel outside the area for specialist treatment.
Mr Kashani said: "East Sussex has always been at the heart of what we do. Our aim has been to provide high-quality, personalised care for our community and this partnership helps us build on that.
"Patients will continue to see the same faces in the same clinic they are used to, but they will also benefit from a wider range of treatments and specialist support, all locally."
OCL Vision supports surgeon-led clinics across London, providing resources, award-winning clinical outcomes and clinical networks, while allowing world class doctors to maintain independence in patient care.
Chief Executive Nik Rudge said: "Excellence in patient experience and clinical outcomes is the foundation of all that we do. Mr Shahram Kashani is an excellent and highly-trusted surgeon with an outstanding strong clinical reputation and the same patient-first values.
"We're pleased to support the team as they expand services for the community, helping ensure people in Eastbourne and across East Sussex can access excellent eye care and the very latest technology and treatments, without travelling further afield, benefiting from our award winning clinical outcomes and premium patient experience."
The clinic will gradually transition to the OCL Vision name over the coming months, with existing patients assured their care will continue as normal. New consultations are already available to book.
