History

History
The Sussex Eye Hospital has its origins in Brighton in 1832 the same year that the British Medical Association was founded

Its founder Dr James Pickford operated from a single room in Middle Street and it was known as The Sussex and Brighton Infirmary for Diseases of the Eye

Five years later it moved to larger premises which accommodated four patients beds Expansion continued with a purposebuilt hospital in 1846 in the newly constructed Queens Road

In 1881 there was a major extension to the infirmary and a change of name to The Sussex Eye Hospital

By 1932 demand for services at the hospital had outstripped the facilities in Queens Road and the hospital was moved to a new building

November 2007 is the 175th anniversary of the Sussex Eye Hospital This hospital is regarded as a national centre of excellence and continues to provide pioneering and innovative surgery and treatment
