Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre (BMEC)

There's no issues, it's really okay. When it's kids, it's not a problem. But as adults, we struggle. But son has had regular appointments and check ups, we've had no issues.

Overall good but insufficient Drs/Consultants.
Long wait times must affect outcomes & sight.

My 6 year old son has been suffering with constant eye infections. They are happening more or less every month. As a result he has to have a course of antibiotics and steroids.
He was put on a waiting list to hear from a consultant months ago . We are still waiting. They don't even seem worried about the fact that a young child keeps on getting recurring eye infections. As a concerned parent im very stressed about the impact this treatment will have on his eyes long term.

Get regular eye checks, they send me emails and texts to let me know when the appointment is. They are good. they also sent me an email this morning for the CT Scan.

Woke up once and went to A&E at the eye hospital as I woke up blind and they said I have a rare eye condition. I was transferred to Heartlands.

Waiting system horrendous, can’t explain it. You go there in the morning, you will be seen by someone then they tell you to come back at 3pm, it’s just weird.

Everything was good. I am happy doctor was good and checked my eyes.

Had to wait, too many people there in the A&E part. It was too busy I didn't like it so I left. I had an Ulcer in my eye and I was there 5/6 hours.

They did a scan which was the third scan I'd had on my eyes in a month or two of each other. This came back inconclusive once again. I then had another examination and eye scan. They found something wrong and had to go to go back to the doctors surgery. They've now said I have cataracts and need to wait for them to mature before they can be operated on.

I was referred to them 18 months ago and still haven't heard anything.
