Waiting for a cataract surgery

"Waiting for a cataract surgery"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Ophthalmology University Hospital Wishaw / Ophthalmology

(as a carer),

My disabled sister is waiting for a cataract surgery. She has had two preassessments now but still no surgery. She was also delayed getting onto the waiting list due to someone filing the referral letter and not putting her on the waiting list which only came to light when I called to see why we had heard nothing.

Dear Scotcmac,

Thank you for providing the feedback above. It sounds like your sister's wait for cataract surgery has been a frustrating one. If you would like me look into the circumstances surrounding this then I'd be happy to do this. Please give our Patient Affairs Team a call on 01355 585325 so you can pass on your sister's details.

Kind Regards,

Cameron
