If you live in England, all you need to do is let your optician or GP know which healthcare provider and hospital location you would like to have your cataract treatment at, and they’ll send a referral to your chosen provider. You should hear back from your provider within two to three weeks following your referral. If you haven’t heard anything after this point, we recommend contacting the person who referred you—this will be your optician or GP—to check on the status of your referral.

The only suitable treatment for cataracts is surgery. It is one of the safest surgeries you can have and is also the most common operation performed in the UK today, taking up to only 20 minutes for routine cases. The cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens (implant). This is normally done under a local anaesthetic using eye drops to numb the eye.
I attended for Cataract treatment and the initial assessment, surgical treatment, overall care and attention to detail was excellent.

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens in the eye which can cause blurry vision and difficulty seeing in low light conditions.
Common symptoms of cataracts include blurry or cloudy vision difficulty seeing at night sensitivity to glare and faded colors.
A Yag Laser Capsulotomy is a procedure used to treat a cloudy capsule behind the lens that may develop after cataract surgery. The laser creates a hole in the capsule to improve vision.
