Mr Edward Ridyard is a multi award-winning Ophthalmologist specialising in all aspects of medical and surgical Glaucoma as well as Complex Cataract Surgery. He is also qualified to treat all types of General Ophthalmic conditions.
Mr Ridyard holds a substantive Consultant post at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Leeds.
Graduating with Honours from the University of Manchester Medical School he received the JHG Holt Prize for exceptional academic performance. He went on to complete his subspecialty training in Glaucoma at Europe’s largest teaching hospital, St James University Hospital in Leeds.
A cataract is cloudiness in the eye’s lens, causing progressively blurred vision as the condition worsens over time.
Glaucoma damages the nerve at the back of the eye (the optic nerve), usually causing loss of peripheral vision first and then the central vision. Sight loss from glaucoma is irreversible which is why prompt treatment and regular check ups with a specialist is vital to prevent sight loss.
Dry Eye Disease arises when insufficient or rapidly evaporating tears cause discomfort and potential vision issues due to inadequate eye lubrication.
Mr Ridyard has a full medico-legal practice instructed by both Claimant and Defendant law firms in both personal injury and clinical negligence cases.
If you would like to make an appointment for an eye consultation, then please contact Maria Pickersgill, Mr Ridyard’s secretary.
