What should I expect during the consultation for private cataract surgery

Thinking about private cataract surgery? It all starts with a consultation.

This is your chance to ask questions, get answers, and understand your options. Here’s what happens during your visit—and how to make the most of it.

1. A warm welcome

You’ll be greeted by a friendly team who’ll guide you through the process. The consultation usually takes about 60–90 minutes.

2. Detailed eye tests

We perform a full set of scans and tests, including:

• Vision check
• Eye pressure test
• Retinal imaging
• Biometry (to measure the shape and length of your eye)

This helps us recommend the best type of lens for you.

3. Meeting your consultant

You’ll meet Mr Danny Mitry, who will perform your procedure. They’ll:

• Review your test results
• Explain your cataracts and what to expect
• Talk through your lens options
• Discuss any eye conditions you may have
• Answer your questions in detail

4. Discussing lens choices

Unlike the NHS, private surgery gives you access to premium lenses:

• Monofocal (distance only)
• Multifocal/trifocal (near and far)
• Toric (for astigmatism)
• EDOF (extended range of focus)

Mr Mitry will help match the lens to your lifestyle and vision goals.

5. A personalised treatment plan

You’ll leave the consultation with a clear plan tailored to your needs—including costs, timeline, and what to expect before and after surgery.
