Cataract surgery

Posted By Aquacupar

"Cataract surgery"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Cataract Unit

(as the patient),

I recently had both cataracts removed and received my new prescription glasses.

I am so grateful to Dr Wheeldon  and her team for their care throughout the procedure.

They made me feel so comfortable and at ease as I was pretty anxious.

My stepfather was an optician, he always said there is nothing more precious than your sight.

The Ophthalmology team from referral to procedure are a very precious asset to NHS Fife.
