What we do

When you come to see Dr Malatt, she asks that you to take the time to be with yourself, so that you can make the most of the opportunity. She asks you questions and listens to your answers. She examines your eyes, and explains your eye problems in the context of your general health and wellbeing. She then offers you advice and suggests treatment.

She tests you for glasses, glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration. She prescribes gentle healing remedies where possible; drugs for the treatment of eye diseases where required; and performs surgery if needed. She will refer you to other treating practitioners if she feels this is in your best interests.
