Matheson Optometrists in Hampshire work closely with ophthalmology in the area and in America. It is natural that there is overlap between these two eyecare professions.

In Hampshire, we co-manage glaucoma patients for local hospital, reducing the strain on one of the busiest hospital departments so that highly skilled ophthalmology collegues can devote their time and skills to those more complicated cases often requiring surgical intervention.

We are also part of the Portsmouth hospitals Diabetic reporting Scheme. This has been in place for several years now and has improved the standard of coordinated diabetic care in the area massively.
