"Only now I see how beautiful the world is"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Cataract Unit Victoria Hospital / Ophthalmology

(as the patient),

My story is a continuation of what I wrote earlier. Earlier this year, I underwent cataract surgery in my right eye. In my opinion, after this surgery I could see very well (previously I had almost no vision in my right eye). However, during a check-up at SpecSavers and a very detailed eye examination, my optician David stated that I would need a consultation with Dr. Wilson as I might need to undergo re-surgery on my right eye.

Just two days later (which was a huge surprise for me), I received a call from the hospital that I was to undergo another surgery in a few days. As usual, I was treated with due respect and care in the Cataract Unit at Queen Margaret Hospital.  A very nice, patient and kind nurse, Danielle, took care of me. Dr. Wilson did a wonderful job. The other staff were also very kind and helpful to me.

I don't know how Dr. Wilson did it, but I can now see out of my right eye as well as my left eye. This was confirmed by a check-up of my eyesight in Ophthalmology Clinic at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, which I had a few days ago. Dr. Wilson said my eyesight is fine now. My gratitude knows no bounds. Only now I see how beautiful the world is. How clear and saturated the colors are, how far my eyesight can reach, how wonderful it is to see details that I had no idea about before. Despite my other ailments, I feel as if I had been born a second time. It is a completely new, different life.

Once again, thank you very much for everything.

Dear Karioka,


Thank you for sharing an update on your recent visit to the Cataract unit it is amazing to hear that your vision has been improved so much from the initial surgery and the subsequent surgery.

It is lovely to hear the praise for Dr Wilson and Danielle and I will share this with them and the rest of the team on the care you received. We wish you well in your recovery.
