If you find yourself in need of a cataract operation, your first thought may be to use your hospital’s eye service for your treatment. While treatment is usually offered by the NHS if your cataracts are preventing you from performing day-to-day tasks such as driving, long waiting lists have resulted in thousands of patients having to delay treatment whilst their vision continues to deteriorate. As studies have shown prolonged vision impairment can lead to age-related cognitive declines such as dementia**, and can make patients more prone to trips and falls. Opting for surgery sooner means you can avoid the risks associated with prolonged loss of vision. What’s more, while patients with early-stage cataracts often still experience a decline in their quality of life, treatment is usually not offered until the cataracts progress to a certain stage. This means that your vision will need to have advanced or deteriorated to a certain level, with many patients that have an identifiable cataract not being offered NHS surgery in both or even one eye. As early-stage cataracts can still cause changes to your vision, such as loss of colour perception and reduced quality of vision such as the development of glare and a loss of contrast, opting for surgery might still be favourable, even if you are not eligible for treatment by the NHS. If surgery through the NHS is not available to you or you would like to receive treatment quicker, it is worth considering opting for private cataract surgery. Optical Express is the UK’s leading private provider of cataract surgery.
