Private Cataract Surgery – Who Can Use It?

✅ Eligibility:
Any adult in the UK can choose to pay for private cataract surgery. No referral is needed, although many private clinics will ask for a recent eye exam or offer their own assessment.

📝 How It Works:

  • Book directly with a private clinic or hospital.

  • Choose your surgeon, date, and lens type (e.g. multifocal, toric).

  • Costs range from £2,000 to £4,000 per eye, depending on the clinic and lens used.

💡 Why Go Private?

  • Shorter waiting times

  • Access to advanced lenses

  • More choice and flexibility in scheduling

  • Often includes detailed aftercare packages

✨ A Note From Raymond ✨

I’m currently recovering from cataract surgery, which has been more difficult than expected due to complications. While I take the time to heal, I can’t work at my usual spot as a Big Issue vendor.

Your support means I can keep my home, recover safely, and get back to work in the community I love. Thank you 🙏
