I have had 2 cataract procedures over the past 10 weeks in Basingstoke and both have been carried out with extreme care and brilliant support. I was so nervous in preparation for the first one but I had a lovely lady who held my hand during the whole procedure. They were so kind on arrival and throughout. This made my second procedure less worrying for me - same again another kind lady held my hand through the procedure and so kind. - reassuring me all the time.
Its so worrying having someone touching your eyes but trust in them as they are the experts. Took around 1 hour for the dilation - that's the longest part !! Then no more than 10 minutes for the actual procedure - so absolutely brilliant. Follow aftercare and you should have no issues - they go through this in great detail to ensure you understand. And yes you can see straight afterwards albeit a little blurry for up to a week but mine was pretty clear after 24 hours. So pleased I had it done with CHEC.
Thank you to the team for looking after me so well.
