Taunton-based Musgrove Park Hospital received a £90k grant for equipment towards it's eye care department.
The grant purchased two new state of the art slit lamp cameras, enabling the hospital to see more patients.
Helen Evans, senior operational manager for ophthalmology at the hospital, said the grant would enable the unit to clear a backlog of cases that has built up since COVID, and also future proof the service.
The slit lamps have helped with recording images, to refer patients on for more specialised treatment, as well as with training eye care colleagues.
'The League has always supported us and this is another example of how they’ve helped us to provide the best possible ophthalmology care at Musgrove,' Evans added.
