What do we do?
The service offers a comprehensive and wide-ranging number of tests in the areas of diagnostic ophthalmology. We provide vision-related electrophysiology tests for patients from Ophthalmology and Eye Casualty.
The Visual Electrophysiology Service also supports clinical research in the areas of visual function. We have a close working relationship with the university ophthalmology group specialising in eye movement disorders.
Where are we?
The Visual Electrophysiology Service is located on level 1 of the Sandringham Building at Leicester Royal Infirmary. Parking at the multi-storey carpark accessed on Havelock Street is very close by, giving easy access to the department.
