Ophthalmology Website Design for UK Private Practices
Specialist websites for eye surgeons, LASIK clinics, and vision correction practices. Built to convert patients researching cataract, corneal, and laser eye surgery.
Patients considering vision correction surgery undertake extensive research before choosing their surgeon. Your website is often their first impression – and frequently the deciding factor between an enquiry and a click away to a competitor.
At Los Webos, we specialise in ophthalmology website design and marketing that builds trust, showcases your expertise, and converts website visitors into booked consultations. From cataract surgery marketing to LASIK, refractive lens exchange, and corneal surgery practices, we understand what makes patients choose one surgeon over another.
The ophthalmology sector presents unique marketing challenges. Patients are making high-stakes decisions about their eyesight – arguably their most valued sense. They need reassurance about safety, confidence in your surgical track record, and clear information about treatment options. Generic healthcare marketing doesn't address these specific concerns.
Our ophthalmology websites are designed around the patient journey: from initial awareness of vision problems, through extensive research of treatment options and surgeons, to the decision to book a consultation. Every element – from credentials display to outcome statistics to patient testimonials – is strategically positioned to build trust and reduce barriers to booking.
Why ophthalmology practices need specialist websites
The private ophthalmology market in the UK is highly competitive. Patients have multiple choices for cataract surgery, laser vision correction, and specialist eye care. Your website needs to do more than simply exist – it needs to actively differentiate your practice and convert visitors.
Many ophthalmologists are still using outdated websites that don't reflect their clinical excellence. Template sites that look generic. Poor mobile experiences that frustrate patients. Missing trust signals that leave potential patients uncertain. Slow loading times that erode confidence before your expertise can be demonstrated.
The cost of a poor website isn't just missed opportunities – it's actively losing patients to competitors who have invested in their digital presence. When a patient searches for 'cataract surgeon near me' or 'best LASIK surgeon London', they're comparing practices side by side. Your website is your 24/7 sales representative.
A specialist ophthalmology website understands these dynamics. It positions your credentials prominently, displays outcome statistics confidently, presents patient testimonials strategically, and makes booking a consultation frictionless. It speaks the language patients use when searching, addresses their specific concerns, and guides them naturally toward engagement.

Websites for every ophthalmic subspecialty
Whether you specialise in cataract surgery, LASIK, or complex corneal conditions, we create targeted websites that speak to your specific patient population.
Cataract Surgery
Websites that educate patients about lens replacement options – monofocal, toric, multifocal, and extended depth of focus – and build confidence in your surgical expertise. We help patients understand the difference between NHS and private cataract care.
LASIK & Laser Eye Surgery
Showcase your laser technology, surgeon credentials, and patient outcomes to convert visitors researching vision correction. Effective LASIK marketing addresses common fears while demonstrating safety track records.
Refractive Lens Exchange
For patients over 45 seeking spectacle independence, RLE requires careful patient education. We create content that helps patients understand when lens replacement is preferable to laser correction.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
Marketing phakic IOLs to patients unsuitable for LASIK requires explaining the reversibility advantage and high-myopia suitability. We position ICL as a premium, safe alternative.
Corneal Surgery
Specialist marketing for keratoconus treatment, corneal transplants (DALK, DMEK, PK), and complex corneal conditions. Building patient confidence for these advanced procedures requires expert content.
Glaucoma Management
Patient education and trust-building for both medical and surgical glaucoma management. Websites that explain monitoring protocols, laser treatments, and surgical options clearly.
Oculoplastics
Before/after galleries and confidence-building content for cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery. Marketing oculoplastics requires balancing aesthetic appeal with medical professionalism.
Paediatric Ophthalmology
Parent-friendly websites that build trust for children's eye care, squint surgery, and developmental vision concerns. Content that reassures parents while remaining clinically accurate.
Built specifically for ophthalmology practices

Frequently asked questions
Do you specialise in ophthalmology websites specifically?
Yes, ophthalmology is one of our primary specialisms. We've built websites for cataract surgeons, LASIK clinics, corneal specialists, and comprehensive eye care practices across the UK. We understand the patient journey for vision correction – from initial research through surgical decision – and how to build the trust required for patients to choose your practice.
How do you help with cataract surgery marketing?
Cataract surgery marketing requires a specific approach. We help you educate patients about lens options (monofocal, toric, multifocal, EDOF), explain the difference between NHS and private care, build confidence in your surgical expertise, and address common concerns about the procedure. Our websites position your practice as the clear choice for patients seeking premium cataract care.
Can you handle LASIK and refractive surgery marketing?
Absolutely. We understand that LASIK marketing is highly competitive and requires building trust around safety, outcomes, and technology. We create websites that showcase your laser technology, display outcome statistics, feature patient testimonials, and address common fears. Suitability quizzes help pre-qualify leads and demonstrate your consultative approach.
How do you handle before/after images for eye surgery?
We implement secure, GDPR-compliant before/after galleries with proper consent documentation. For ophthalmology, this often includes outcome statistics, patient satisfaction scores, and video testimonials alongside clinical imagery where appropriate. We advise on best practices for medical imaging display.
Can you integrate with Doctify and other review platforms?
Yes, we integrate with Doctify, Google Reviews, Trustpilot, and other platforms relevant to private healthcare. Reviews are automatically pulled into your website and displayed with proper schema markup for SEO benefit. For ophthalmologists, patient reviews are particularly powerful in building trust.
What SEO do you provide for ophthalmologists?
We implement comprehensive ophthalmology SEO including local search optimisation ('cataract surgeon near me', 'LASIK London'), treatment-specific keyword targeting, condition-based content, and structured data for medical practitioners. We help you rank for the searches your ideal patients are making.
Do you understand the compliance requirements for eye surgery marketing?
Yes, we understand GMC guidance on marketing medical services, ASA requirements for advertising claims, GDPR requirements for patient data, and sector-specific considerations for ophthalmology marketing. We help ensure your website builds trust while remaining compliant.
What makes ophthalmology marketing different from general healthcare marketing?
Vision correction is a considered, high-value decision – patients research extensively before choosing a surgeon. Ophthalmology marketing needs to educate patients about complex procedures, build trust through credentials and outcomes, address specific fears (surgery on eyes requires particular reassurance), and guide patients through multiple treatment options. We understand this patient journey deeply.
