Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about private cataract surgery and self-pay treatment in Cheshire East.
Private cataract surgery typically costs between £1,500 and £3,000 per eye, depending on the lens type, provider and whether aftercare is included. Always ask for an all-inclusive quote so you can compare like for like.
No — you can self-refer directly to a private cataract provider. Most clinics will ask for a recent optician’s report confirming the cataract diagnosis. Some providers carry out their own initial assessment before confirming suitability.
The procedure takes around 20–30 minutes per eye. You will typically be at the clinic for two to three hours in total, including pre-operative checks and recovery time. Most patients notice an improvement in vision within 24–48 hours.
No. Choosing private cataract surgery does not affect your entitlement to NHS care for other conditions. Your GP and NHS ophthalmology team remain available to you regardless of your decision.
Check that the provider is CQC-registered, that the surgeon holds GMC registration and specialises in ophthalmology, and that aftercare is included in the quoted price.
