Times are a changing!
We now refer patients to a company, they will see/ operate within 4 weeks on the NHS.
Going private will give you choices on lens types not used by NHS and of course will be as quick as you put your card in the machine!
Also they are performing YAG lazer for those with PCO in a quick period, the days of long waiting list at hospitals are ending, of course this is North West, not sure what is going on elsewhere.
