The doc continued: “During post-surgery appointments, our patients often comment that the ‘cloudiness’ in their eyes has all gone and they’re enjoying being able to see bright colours again.
“As our research shows, there is also a hugely positive impact on life quality – patients frequently tell us they’ve got their lives back; the surgery means they can get out to see friends and family, and are able to drive again.
“Cataracts can rob people of their independence, cause isolation and even lead to trips or falls, so it’s important we support the NHS in reducing waiting times for surgery. Our target referral to treatment time is just four weeks, and we offer a free transport service to help those who might struggle to travel to get the treatment they need.
“The risk of serious complications developing as a result of cataract surgery is very low. We risk assess every patient, and if they are considered at increased risk due to their past medical history, they are put under the care of one of our specialist teams. Data from the latest National Ophthalmology Database Audit found that SpaMedica has complication rates well below the national average, with 99.5 percent of patients complication-free.”
