When making an appointment please let us know if you prefer to attend on a weekend date.
When your optometrist referrs you for NHS cataract surgery, you will be contacted by DORA to help arrange an appointment at your preferred choice of hospital. Here’s what will happen…
You may like to get an idea of your hospital preferences before speaking to Dora – if so the NHS have created a “Find my Hospital” post code search https://www.myplannedcare.nhs.uk/find-my-hospital/postcode-search/
(if n/a is written in the wait time box, the hospital may not offer Opthalmology services)
You can speak naturally to Dora- just like you would a nurse.

If you would prefer to pay, or have health insurance, to be assessed and treated privately, please let your optometrist know, by emailing us at eyecare@patriciahayseldenandpartners.co.uk
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve partnered with OcuPlan. We’re now part of the largest joined-up network of optometrists and ophthalmologists in the UK, collaborating to provide affordable, accessible care for patients with long-term eye conditions. If you or anyone you know is living with glaucoma, AMD or diabetic retinopathy and want added peace of mind that your sight is being protected, visit ocuplan.co.uk to find out more, or speak to one of our representatives in store.

As COVID and other seasonal viruses are still prevalent in Oxfordshire, we ask that you bring a mask (we can supply one to you if required) – to wear during the parts of the examination where we need to get close to you.
To protect you, the optometrist will continue to wear a mask. Please let us know if you would like all staff to wear one whilst you are in the practice.
We ask that you rearrange your appointment, if you have current symptoms that could be contagious, such as a new fever, cough, runny nose.
Our practice team is available Monday to Friday (and some Saturdays) to look after you, for all aspects of your eye care requirements.
Due to a large backlog of reminder letters, we are significantly behind schedule with sending these out to you. Please do not wait for a letter – just get in touch when you would like to see us. If you feel that you are having any difficulties, or if we have not seen you within the past 2 years – please contact our friendly reception staff on 01491 835466, who will be able to check your records and arrange for your next appointment to be scheduled into our diary, at the earliest opportunity.
We continue to invest in the latest technology, most recently purchasing an OCT scanner and camera. OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) captures a 3D cross-sectional scan of the back of your eye as well as taking a high definition retinal image. This helps us to monitor and detect any changes and abnormalities, which may indicate early signs of disease, such as macular degeneration and glaucoma.

After 12 years with the practice, optometrist Nita Mahalingham has moved away from Oxfordshire, so will no longer be working with us. We wish her much happiness as her family begin a new life in Dubai.
We welcome Mri Bali to our practice, a full time optometrist with a specialism in Orthoptics.
We are also delighted to say part time receptionist Katie Ansel has now joined us full time.
