All Optegra Hospitals operate on an average Referral to Treatment Time (RTT) of only 4-6 weeks from the moment we receive the referral.
We provide the following treatments and pathways:
-
-
- NHS Cataract treatment
- NHS YAG
- Private Vision Correction.
-
Approximately 80% of NHS Post-operative checks are sent out into the community; we do this by either sending the patient back to the referring practice via the Primary Eyecare Opera platform or for those practices not on Opera we provide our own post-operative care scheme in which a practice can choose to accredit themselves to receive their referred patients back without onboarding onto a referral platform.
We can receive NHS cataract referrals through several channels such as directly to us via email, GP and E-referral.
