5 Reasons to Have Private Cataract Surgery in North Wales

Are you considering cataract surgery? If so, you may be wondering whether to have the procedure done privately or through the NHS. Here are 5 reasons to opt for private cataract surgery in North Wales at Nguyen Vision

1. We’ll see you sooner

Waiting times for cataract surgery on the NHS can be long. By opting for private treatment, you can generally be seen much sooner. This is important because, if left untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness.

2. You’ll be able to discuss all your options with a consultant

Your surgeon will sit down with you before the procedure and explain all of your options in detail. They’ll also answer any questions you may have about the surgery and the different types of implants available. This level of service isn’t always available on the NHS.

3. You’ll benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and lenses

We use the latest technology and equipment available to ensure that your surgery is performed with the utmost precision. Private cataract surgery also gives you a choice of multifocal, trifocal or EDoF (Extended Depth of Focus) lenses. Multifocal, trifocal and EDoF lenses are all types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) that can be used during cataract surgery. Furthermore, all of these lenses come in toric versions, which provide correction for astigmatism.

IOLs are artificial lenses that are placed in the eye to replace the natural lens that has been removed. Multifocal lenses allow patients to see clearly at multiple distances (and especially at near distances), while trifocal lenses provide clear vision at three different distances. EDoF lenses give patients a wider range of focus than multifocal or trifocal lenses but don’t provide as clear of vision as traditional monofocal IOLs. If you opt for cataract surgery on the NHS you will only be offered a standard monofocal IOL.

The takeaway is that you can be relatively free of glasses and contact lenses after premium cataract surgery, whereas you’ll need to continue wearing glasses/contact lenses after cataract surgery on the NHS.

4. You’ll receive personalised care and tailored scheduling

We understand that each patient is unique and requires personalised care. That’s why our team will take the time to get to know you and your individual needs before performing your surgery. Opting for private cataract surgery, unlike the NHS, where appointment times are often rigid and may not align with your preferences, private surgery offers flexibility. At Nguyen Vision, we understand the importance of accommodating our patients’ busy lives. We can arrange private consultations and surgery scheduling to suit your calendar, minimising disruptions to your daily routine. This flexibility ensures that you can undergo cataract surgery at a time that is most convenient for you, providing a level of personalised service that goes beyond the standard offerings of public healthcare.

5. You’ll access five-star rated care

When you choose to have your private cataract surgery in North Wales with Nguyen Vision Ltd, you can rest assured that you’ll be in good hands. We are backed by a five-star rating from our patients, so you know you’ll be receiving the best possible care.

Although cataract surgery is available on the NHS, there are several advantages to having the procedure done privately – especially if you’re looking for a quick, hassle-free service with experienced surgeons and comprehensive aftercare provision.
