Ah I see .

I rang the practice months ago . Receptionist asked what was it I wanted an appt. said appointment for ,when I told her I wanted to discuss my eyes she said face to face not necessary .
That was a three weeks wait for that yes just to get a phone call from him !
When he rang he said he doesnā€™t get involved in this kind of thing I had to go through my optician .

Father Christmas has arrived early,
I received a phone call today from SpaMedica Who asked me if I would like my second cataract operation on Fridaythis week.
I am over the moon! I will full vision by Christmas Day. The best present ever ā€¦

Thatā€™s great Vlad. Iā€™ve been off the forum for a while and didnā€™t know about your cataract operations until just now. Sounds like you have had a good experience with the first one. Best of luck that the second eye goes just as well.

Thanks, I am still pretty stunned by the speed of everything, itā€™s been 10 weeks since my first consultation with SpaMedica to having my second eye done.
So I am over the moon :grinning:

Great news Vlad

Oh thatā€™s good to hear ! Glad it went well .

Wonderful news Vlad! :grinning:

Thank you all! You all looks so beautiful with my new eyes :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Iā€™m imagining itā€™s like wearing spectacles inside your eyes ?

The difference is amazing, everything is sooo sharp! I hadnā€™t realised how bad my eyes actually were, I gave up photography some years back and shooting because my distance eyesight was getting worse
I can now see milesšŸ˜€ but I am now short sighted so will need glasses to correct that, I am using a cheap pair of those supermarket reading glasses which help
For those thinking of cataract surgery and getting it down quickly, SpaMedica is the way to go.

Well thatā€™s it, all done and dusted. I had my left eye checked today by vision express after the cataract surgery last month.
Both eyes now up and running ok, prescription for reading glasses issued.
So my plan is to have my old glasses reglazed, which I might do online, apparently prices are a bit cheaper.
Anyone had prescription glasses reglazed?

Great news Vlad , pleased for you . Iā€™m waiting for transport to be arranged and a date very soon . Im going to spa medica in Dorset . Iā€™m trying not to get too anxious I know it wonā€™t hurt . I will be on my own after but am told Iā€™ll be fine and can do my drops

Great news Susan, take it from me, no pain, and SpaMedica are outstanding.
A tip if I may, re the eye drops, you can get applicators from Amazon which are quite cheap to help you putting the drops in.
Feel free to ask questions, I am an expert now :face_with_monocle:
