Please read the following prior to your visit and bring along A. Spectacles and spectacle prescription from your optometrist B. If you are a contact lens wearer and requiring cataract surgery, then you need to ensure that you had not used your contact lenses for 1 week for soft lenses and 2 weeks for rigid gas permeable lenses prior to your visit. This is aimed at getting accurate measurements of your eye during the consultation visit. You could bring your contact lenses in a contact lens case. C. Your routine medication list and GP referral letter if possible. A GP letter is not mandatory to initiate an eye consultation but always helpful. D. Please allow 1.30 hours for your consultation which would involve various eye tests and biometry by the clinic team prior to seeing Mr Rajan. Your pupils are likely to be dilated with eye drops during the first consultation, so it is not advisable to drive a car or motor vehicle following consultation on the same day. Please make your own arrangements for travel prior to planning a consultation. Mr Rajan will meet you in his consultation room and go through your visual difficulties, He will undertake a detailed eye exam and will discuss treatment options with you on the visit, followed by a written letter to describe the diagnosis and treatment advice. This letter will be copied to your GP and optometrist to benefit you for shared care management of your eye condition in future and for your GP records.

The surgery will take place in the operating theatre under local anaesthetic and sometimes a general anaesthetic might be required based on individual patient profile. If you require a general anaesthetic, this will be discussed and arranged for at the pre-assessment stage with instructions for fasting etc. Mr Rajan will undertake the procedure for you and the nurses will provide all post opinstructions with eye drops prior to discharge from the hospital. Please allow 4-6 hours for the surgery appointment and plan your travel arrangements. If you have a planned in patient stay in the hospital over night, you will be discharged the following day with advice and medications.

You will be advised to use eye drops as per the prescription for up to 4 weeks. It is common to expect blurred vision in the first 48 hours following surgery and vision will gradually improve over 2-3 weeks period. During this time, it is advisable to avoid any visual strain such as prolonged reading, driving or computer use. Regular application of eye drops is essential with good hygiene. There should be no pressure on the operated eye such as eye lid rubbing. You will be given an advice line to the ward and secretary (01223 266940 or 01223 266913) to call for any postoperative concerns and Mr Rajan will advice you accordingly.
