Cutting-edge macula centre opens its doors in Bradford

    A new state-of-the-art centre, which offers the very latest in imaging technology, is playing a leading role in eye health in Bradford.

    The Bradford Macula Centre, part of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is based on Trinity Road, Bradford, near to St. Luke’s Hospital, and features scanning equipment capable of detecting a number of eye conditions.

    The new centre means that patients with suspected wet macula degeneration – a condition that causes the loss of central vision – will be seen and treated quicker, improving the success of the treatment. They can be referred directly to the Bradford Macula Centre by their opticians via a fast-track referral system.

    The Trust’s macula service was previously based in the pain management clinic in the grounds of St Luke’s.
