- No need to travel
Hereford Vision’s unique innovative approach means that treatments previously only available in larger cities can now be accessed here in Hereford.

What others are saying...
“Simon Madge immediately put me at ease because he’s got such a professional manner, so I felt good about that.
By the time I left the consultation I really knew what was going to happen and I was perfectly at ease.”

“As soon as I met Mr While he put me at ease straight away.
I feel I’m benefitting from better eyesight than I have for many years all without the need for glasses. I couldn’t have wished for better. I’m extremely grateful to Mr While for his skill and expertise.
I feel as though I’ve got my life back.”

What’s the cost?
The fees associated with private healthcare are typically very affordable for an outpatient-based specialty like ophthalmology. We are delighted to see self-funding patients, as well as all patients with medical insurance.
Unfortunately, patients who are insured with some organisations may find themselves underinsured after unilateral reductions in reimbursements for surgical procedures nationwide. Some insurers may attempt to warn their customers that our surgeons are not ‘fee-assured’ or ‘quality-assured’; please do not be put off by such attempts to divert your care to a potentially less experienced surgeon outside of the county.
