Do I need a referral to visit CES Medical?
+
No referral is needed for private appointments. You can contact us directly to book a consultation. However, NHS-funded care typically requires a referral from your GP or optometrist.
What happens during my first consultation?
+
Your consultant will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform any necessary diagnostic tests. You'll receive a personalised treatment plan and next steps for your care.
How long does it take to recover from cataract surgery?
+
Most patients recover quickly. You may notice improved vision within a few days, with full healing typically taking 4-6 weeks. Your consultant will guide you through post-operative care.
What are the options for glaucoma management?
+
Glaucoma can be managed through eye drops, laser treatments, or surgery, depending on the severity and type. Early diagnosis and regular monitoring are essential for preserving vision.
Can I self-pay for treatment, even if I'm an NHS patient?
+
Yes. You can choose to self-fund treatment at any time for faster access or additional services, regardless of your NHS status. We offer transparent pricing and tailored packages.
