The Cathedral Eye Clinic opened in Belfast in March 2008. It is one of the first organisations to be based in the business units of the newly refurbished York street campus of the University of Ulster. It is also one of the first healthcare facilities to be located in the regeneration area of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter.

New treatments for the management of keratoconus, such as automated mechanical or laser lamellar surgery and Intacs, are also available.Please contact the Cathedral Eye Clinic for further information on other treatments.
