How donations have made a real difference at the Western Eye Hospital


Thanks to your generous donations, we’re able to provide extra support for patients and NHS staff at the Western Eye Hospital.

Here are just a few examples of how your support is making a real difference:

  • We’ve awarded funding to support the work of the hospital’s Imperial College Ophthalmology Research Group.
  • We’ve helped clinicians speed up treatment for patients with an eye disease known as keratoconus using a specialist ultraviolet light machine.
  • We’ve supported staff in establishing a mobile eye clinic, the i-Van, enabling many more patients to receive eye examinations without needing to attend a hospital appointment. 
  • We’ve added colourful, vibrant artworks to the hospital’s hallways and waiting areas to create a warm and welcoming environment for patients and visitors.
  • We’ve worked with hundreds of dedicated volunteers to welcome patients as they arrive, help visitors find their way around and support NHS staff.
