Had my bad eye cataract removed and new lens inserted on Friday. Stunning vision now. Can see eveything. Uncomfortable for 15 minutes but the effects are more than well worth it.

Downside is I can see Everton getting beat again!

People have their moans about the NHS but I have had a broken wrist and the cataract done recently both treated expertly. God bless them all.

Diagnosed severe Cataract on a Monday. Assessed the next Monday. Cataract surgery the next Monday. All sorted in 2 weeks. If they let the NHS staff get on with it, it would Bloody work every time?? 💙💙💙

Nobody Died!!

I had both of mine done 3 years and, as you say, it's a game changer and a relatively straightforward process ( says he whose only medical knowledge comes from being married to a nurse!). Just a little tip, however, if at some point your vision goes a bit blurry, with what can only be described as a shadow across the lower part of your eye, then that's not linked to your cataract. That's a detached retina and that's a whole new level of ballache. Trust me on that one!

Hope you don't mind me asking but how long were you on the waiting list? Mine were diagnosed 6 weeks ago and they told me 2 to 6 months. I know they're opening a new cataract ward in st Paul's soon which should bring down the waiting time.

Re: Cataracts

Went to opticians for check up and a few hours later got a call to go in for consulation. Then 2 days later done. Remarkable. They reckon it will be 6 weeks before my left eye done. Only due to the healing process. Wonderful and deffo a game changer.Good luck mate
