Eye infections
Private GP assessment for red, painful, or irritated eyes.
Eye symptoms such as redness, discomfort, discharge, or sensitivity to light can develop quickly and affect vision or daily activities.
A private GP assessment helps identify the likely cause, assess severity, and guide appropriate treatment or further care.
Face-to-face GP consultations offer prompt clinical evaluation, clear guidance, and reassurance where appropriate. No referral required.
What are eye infections?
Eye infections occur when bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms affect the surface or structures of the eye. They may cause symptoms such as redness, irritation, discharge, swelling, or blurred vision.
Some eye infections are mild and self-limiting, while others require prompt medical assessment to prevent complications or prolonged symptoms.
Why eye infections should be medically assessed?
Eye symptoms can overlap with non-infectious conditions such as allergies or irritation, making accurate assessment important.
A GP assessment helps to:
-
Determine the likely cause of symptoms
-
Assess severity and risk of complications
-
Identify whether treatment is required
-
Avoid inappropriate or delayed care
-
Provide reassurance and recovery advice
Early assessment supports safe and effective management.
