One of Scotland’s most advanced eye clinics has opened in Glasgow, introducing high-spec technology, experienced surgical leadership, and a patient-first approach to the heart of the city.
With over a decade of experience and more than 30,000 patients treated, Vision Scotland has expanded its services with a purpose-built private clinic in Glasgow.
Led by two of the country’s most experienced eye surgeons - Mr Sanjay Mantry and Mr Jonathan Ross - the new facility aims to raise standards in ophthalmic care across the central belt.
The Glasgow site has been carefully designed to support positive patient outcomes in laser eye surgery, cataracts, vision correction treatments and other specialities such as vitreoretinal surgery, oculoplastics and corneal disease.
But it’s not just the building that’s new - the clinic also integrates Scotland’s first Schwind Amaris laser system, widely regarded for its advanced precision and safety features.
Raising standards
The new facility, located in the heart of Glasgow, has been built specifically for eye health, combining modern surgical environments, comfortable patient areas, and a teaching and training space.
Vision Scotland’s founders say the investment reflects growing demand for timely, effective, and affordable eye treatment in Scotland.
Mr Mantry said: “We’re proud to bring a facility of this quality to Glasgow. We’ve always believed that the people of Scotland should have access to the most advanced vision care available - and this new clinic supports that goal.”
Patients can expect streamlined appointments, expert clinical support, and some of the most sophisticated diagnostic and treatment technologies currently available in the UK. You can read more about the Glasgow clinic here.
Respected surgeons at the helm
Mr Mantry and Mr Ross are among Scotland’s busiest eye surgeons. Both bring extensive NHS and private experience to Vision Scotland’s expanding team, and together they have performed tens of thousands of procedures.
The opening of the new clinic has also created over 30 local jobs, taking the organisation’s workforce to more than 100 across Scotland.
Both surgeons are committed to supporting and training the next generation of ophthalmic professionals through the new Vision Scotland Academy.
Over the next few years, Vision Scotland aims to enhance education for practice managers and support staff through ophthalmic courses, including dispensing optics.

Common questions include:
How does laser eye surgery work?
A precise laser reshapes the cornea to correct short sight, long sight, or astigmatism. Vision Scotland’s Schwind Amaris laser system tracks eye movement during surgery to help enhance accuracy.
What makes Vision Scotland Glasgow unique?
It’s believed to be the first private, purpose-built eye surgery clinic in Scotland, combining consultant-led care with access to internationally recognised technology.
How long is recovery?
The eye often recovers relatively quickly after surgery. For instance, following laser surgery, many patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Cataract surgery recovery typically takes a week to two, although this can vary depending on individual circumstances.

Supporting Glasgow and beyond
Vision Scotland’s expansion into Glasgow strengthens its longstanding connection with the West of Scotland.
Patients across Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire and Argyll now have access to private ophthalmic treatment closer to home.
The clinic also continues to engage with local communities, offering public education and supporting charitable initiatives - including recent fundraising events by the Vision Scotland team. Find out more about their community work here.
A decade of growth, a future of clarity
The Glasgow facility marks a major milestone as Vision Scotland celebrates over ten years of service in eye health.
With rising demand and a focus on quality, the team aims to continue developing accessible, patient-centred care for people across Scotland.
Mr Mantry concluded: “This really feels like the next step in a decade of growth and a shared vision for the future of eye care in Scotland.
“From day one, our focus has been on providing excellent care without unnecessary delays - and this new clinic helps us do just that for more people.”
