Solasta Healthcare have opened their new eye clinic at the Boulevard in Banbridge in a £1.7 million investment in local healthcare. Equipped with the latest cutting-edge imaging, diagnostic, surgical and lens technologies, Solasta Healthcare will specialise in cataract surgery provision.

M&H delivered the 4,500 sq ft clinic which has been designed with patient accessibility in mind. The facility includes private access to the clinic, extensive free car parking and dedicated space for blue-badge holders. Martin & Hamilton delivered alteration & fit-out works complete with curtain walling, bespoke joinery fit-out, finishes and high spec services for state-of-the-art ophthalmic surgery equipment. The new Clinic now offers two operating theatres, four consultation rooms, screening space and a dedicated recovery area, all equipped with the latest ophthalmic technology.

Led by local consultant ophthalmologist Michael O’Gallagher, the clinic will provide an immediate solution to those impacted by the growing NHS waiting list for cataract surgery, with the average patient being 76 years old and forced to endure a delay of over 26 months for treatment in Northern Ireland.
