The Eye Site Clinic

A mobile sight-saving unit that will help medical consultants save the sight of thousands of patients while saving them a trip of up to 84 miles for treatment.

The medical trailer, called ‘Liberty Plus’ will be the base for eye (ophthalmology) specialists in Yorkshire treating up to 50 patients a day with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nvARMD) - a condition that causes progressive sight loss. 

The treatment unit will allow patients to visit their local hospital site for treatment, instead of undergoing a round trip of up to 84 miles to a regional unit.

“There are an estimated 26,000 new cases of nvARMD a year, and the demand on ophthalmology units has become overwhelming. The mobile unit will be extremely busy servicing the needs of patients requiring this vital sight-saving treatment. Eventually we hope to be able to offer this mobile service to hard pressed units throughout the country.” 
Richard Gale, consultant ophthalmologist at York Teaching Hospital and chairman of the Eye Site Clinic Ltd
