Friends of Bristol Eye Hospital gratefully acknowledge a new donation from the Rotary Club of Wrington Vale. They have given to the Friends five times since 2013. The total amount donated has now topped £5,000.

The club has a rural catchment area covering nearly a hundred square miles east of Weston-super-Mare, approximately centred on the Mendip Spring Golf Club, where members meet every Monday evening.

The Friends rely on donations and bequests so that we can help the hospital by purchasing much needed equipment and services that are outside the limitations of the NHS budget.

We recently paid for two indirect ophthalmoscopes, which are used to gain better imaging of eyes, particularly within paediatrics, to diagnose a range of different conditions. The Vantage Plus is the best device of its kind, providing 3-dimensional stereoscopic views of the retina through all pupil sizes, making examinations faster and easier.

One headset was for the paediatric clinic in Weston General Hospital, where the original version had been condemned by the hospital’s repair services. The second device will be used in the pre-op assessment unit.

We recently paid for a new B-Scan Plus portable ultrasound diagnostic kit to replace an old, faulty and “temperamental” predecessor.

Laura Barber, Ophthalmic Nurse Practitioner at the BEH, writes: “The B Scan is an essential diagnostic tool in ophthalmology, particularly for patients with dense cataracts, vitreous haemorrhage, or trauma where direct visualisation of the posterior segment is not possible. It allows us to assess the internal structures of the eye quickly and accurately, which is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment, especially in emergency situations. Your continued support makes a real difference to the care we can provide, and we are incredibly grateful.”

The Friends were delighted and very grateful to receive a significant donation from Jane Hughes. Jane explained that she was making the donation in memory of her late husband, Ciarán Phillips who had been a long-standing patient of the Uveitis Clinic in the Bristol Eye Hospital.

She told us that over the years the Uveitis staff had given expert care to save her husband’s sight, which he retained until his death. We pass our condolences on to Jane for the loss of her husband, and offer our grateful thanks for her kind donation to our funds.

The Friends rely on bequests and donations to enable us to continue our work of helping the hospital by purchasing much needed equipment and services that are outside the limitations of the NHS budget.
