Is it for me?
A good fit, and an honest no
Usually right for
- Any cataract, at any stage
- Anyone facing an NHS wait
- Second eye after NHS first eye
- Choosing a lens that also removes glasses
We would suggest something else if
- Nobody is turned away for age; the scan decides the lens
How it works
What happens, in plain words
No waiting list. The consultant you meet is the consultant who operates, and the lens choice is yours: monofocal, toric or trifocal.
How it works
- Biometry and lens discussion
- Surgery under local anaesthetic
- Second eye a week later if needed
- Twelve months of consultant aftercare
Every price is per eye, fixed in writing at your consultation, and includes the surgeon's aftercare for twelve months.
What the price covers
From £2,950 per eye includes
- Consultant surgeon, every step
- Standard monofocal lens; trifocal and toric options priced in writing
- One eye per visit, a week apart
- All drops and reviews for twelve months
- YAG laser polish if ever needed
All prices are per eye and fixed in writing at consultation. The consultation fee is credited to any treatment. Twelve months of consultant aftercare is included; laser patients receive lifetime laser aftercare.
