History
The hospital was founded in 1808 by Dr William Henry Goldwyer as "The Institution for the Cure of Disease of the Eye Amongst the Poor" in Lower Maudlin Street.{{Cite web|url=http://archive.org/details/bha056|title=The Voluntary Medical Institutions of Bristol|date=27 November 1984|publisher=Bristol Historical Association|via=Internet Archive}} In 1839, and again in 1898, it expanded into adjoining buildings. In 1935 a new building was completed, which was in turn replaced in 1982 creating the present hospital which opened in 1986. A refurbishment and expansion took place between 2010 and 2011.{{cite web |url=http://www.uhbristol.nhs.uk/about-us/our-heritage/ |title=Our heritage – Bristol Eye Hospital |publisher=University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust |year=2012 |accessdate=22 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117074722/http://www.uhbristol.nhs.uk/about-us/our-heritage/ |archive-date=17 November 2015 |url-status=dead }}
