If your optometrist or GP has referred you for cataract surgery, you may be wondering what happens next.
The cataract referral process can vary depending on where you live and the local NHS services in your area. This means the steps you need to take after your referral may be different from those in other parts of the UK.
We’ve created a series of local guides to help make the process clearer and easier to understand. Each guide explains what happens after your optometrist or GP refers you for cataract surgery, including what to expect when you’re contacted and any steps you may need to take before your pre-assessment.
We’re working on creating guides for more areas across the UK. If you can’t see a guide for your area yet, please check back soon as we continue to add new local information.
