Tailored care when it's right for you
We have proudly been offering dropless cataract surgery to our NHS patients since 2021. We understand that daily eye drops can be challenging for some, especially if they have arthritis, hand tremors, or struggle to remember when to use them. Dropless surgery takes away that worry, but still achieves the same outstanding results.
This approach to treating cataracts eliminates the need of administering drops after surgery, but we only recommend it when it’s the right choice for our patients, ensuring every treatment is personalised and adopts the safest approach.
During surgery, we gently administer doses of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication into the eye being operated on, to negate the need for antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drops after surgery. This means the eye receives sustained antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory protection during treatment, and removes the need for post-surgery eye drops.
Dropless surgery isn’t suitable for everyone, which is why we carefully assess each patient and follow best practice guidelines to ensure everyone is receiving the best care. When it is the right choice, dropless surgery simplifies recovery by removing the need for daily eye drops, while still delivering the same excellent outcomes and peace of mind.
SpaMedica has been leading the way in dropless cataract surgery since 2021, offering a pioneering approach that makes cataract treatment simpler, safer, and more comfortable for those who need it.
By delivering the necessary medication during surgery, this approach removes the need for daily post-operative drops, eliminating the hassle and potential worry of complying to a regular aftercare routine.
