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.

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.

I stand by everything I wrote following cataract surgery last year at the Truro clinic where I couldn't fault anything, superb treatment throughout. However, just recently have had problems with deteriorating sight in my right eye. Obviously my first port of call was the Spa medical help line for advice. The person who dealt with the call after taking my details very quickly and abruptly replied as the surgery was more than 6 months ago there was nothing he could do and said go back to your optician. This I did to be told I had PCO in my right eye that needed YAG laser treatment. I was then advised by the optician that she had to refer it to my GP surgery for them to send a request to Spa for examination and treatment. Basically starting from square one. Surely once an optician had identified a problem from cataract surgery there would be an easier route than starting from scratch and hoping for an appointment sooner rather than later.
