Frequently Asked Questions

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.
