I had Cataract surgery over a year ago at SpaMedica Manchester. All went well and staff were all excellent ! However , occasionally, ‘ frosting ‘ takes place around the new lense , and requires YAG Laser treatment . This was done this week at the SpaMedica Clinic in Sale . Again , friendly helpful staff , particularly the Laser Operator, who managed to return my sight to what it should be !

I have yet to have the pleasure of visiting SpaMedica despite the recommendation from Vision Express. My right eye is below DVLA limit. I was referred to SpaM for cataract surgery in late January, and given an appointment for 6th March. Returning from France on 5th March for that appointment in Cambridge I got a message to say that it was cancelled and a new appointment set for 14th April, 5+ weeks later! After calling three times and narrowly missing a chance for 2nd April (it was taken by someone else online at the same moment), I was finally given on 18th March an appointment for 10th April but in Wembley, to which I must travel. Why is there not a priority list for those like me whose appointments are cancelled at short notice? Better still, a call-back service to make us feel more wanted? UPDATE - I did receive a call on Tuesday 24 March from Sheila P in Cambridge with an appointment for 31 March. I've added a star pending this welcome event.

From assessment to discharge after cataract surgery, Spa Medica Coventry staff were very efficient and caring. Being somewhat apprehensive about the surgery, having very sensitive eyes, I felt hardly anything in my eye and my fear of seeing the surgeon's actions etc with my good eye were fully allayed. I couldn't see anything! The surgeon's chat with me before surgery was very useful and excellent.

I've had my surgery over a year ago. From the start I had problems. Infection, blurriness. I've seen them but they always have a good reason and who am I to disagree. Since then I've had difficulty seeing specially towards dawn. My eyes gets very tired and everything blurryThat was to correct my nearsightedness. Wearing varyfocal glasses and now I can barely read or see this message I am writing. I have my yearly appointment with my optometrist today wish me luck my eye haven't deteriorated within a year . To be honest I wished I never had it done.

Having following my wife who had both eyes done two years ago I was still very apprehensive but my fears were unfounded as from the start in reception to my discharge everything was of the highest standard with each stage of my procedure explained with friendly staff. It was only three days ago that I had my cataract surgery but I alrady see a difference in my vision. Thank you to all the staff at Spa Mecica Preston.

I was very impressed when my first eye was done. However when my second eye was done 3 months later I was less impressed. It was obviously a busy day with 25 operations but I felt rushed and there was a distinct conveyor belt feeling. Certainly the staff were much less friendly and caring. Their job was get you in and out of the door as quickly as possible, no tea or coffee this time just a glass of water if you want it. No follow up in 4 weeks this time just phone your optician on Monday and make an appointment with them in 4 to 6 weeks. Unlikely I would recommend to family or friends. I should add that the eye has given a lot of discomfort ever since and is far from healed.

Had a cataract removal procedure carried out at the SpaMedica hospital in Wokingham on Friday 27/02/26, and what a pleasant experience it turned out to be, it was the complete opposite to what I had been expecting, all the staff were professional people, very friendly, and treated me with respect, and the surgeon who operated was very experienced, so I didn't receive any pain throughout the cataract removal, in fact it was fairly comfortable at all times during, and I would certainly recommend SpaMedca to anyone who may require their services in the future.

Lens clouded over, had to wait 3 months for 1st appointment which has been cancelled due to being an NHS patient and told it will be another 2 months b4 we can get another appointment, bearing in mind my dad is a full time carer for my mum, I think 5 months of not being able to see clearly is unacceptable.
