We work hard to make your experience of cataract surgery as simple and as straightforward as possible. With that goal in mind, we have pioneered an approach to assess you for cataract surgery over the telephone, with a comprehensive eye examination on the day of surgery. This means less travel, less disruption to your life and that of your family, and reduced waiting times for cataract surgery.

What is cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in the UK and offers a reliable solution for enhancing your vision. During the surgery, conducted through small incisions in the front of the eye, ultrasound is employed to eliminate the the cloudy lens (cataract), which is then replaced with a clear plastic lens.

Typically completed in under ten minutes, this outpatient procedure allows you to return home shortly after.
