Extremely happy with my treatment and care provided by SpaMedica. Very quick service from initial appointment through to the procedure. All the medical staff and reception were very professional and friendly. I would certainly recommend this practise to anyone needing cataract treatment

Review titled Concerns
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by W Maharajh - Posted on 17 July 2024
I have now had both eyes done and it is very clear to me that the approach by the surgeons were different which I believe is the reason I have much better vision in one eye compared to the other. The second surgeon was very thorough in irrigating my eye when removing the lens compared to the ‘conservative’ work by the first one. I could tell this because of the quantity of liquid running down my neck during the second operation. The consequence of this is I have cloudy and blurred vision in the first operated eye. My optometrist when assessing my eye after the 4 week healing period mentioned that there were still small ‘fragments’ of cells left In the eye which I was told could have implications further down the road. It also turns out that the insertion of the lens was not carried out accurately resulting in folding in the posterior capsule? I was made aware of this as I was experiencing streaks of lights when looking at any light source, especially when driving at night. This was confirmed by the optometrist during a revisit to Spamedica. I have been given an appointment for laser treatment which I do hope will cure the symptoms. I was happy with the care I got from the staff at the Colchester clinic. Night driving was an issue I struggled with and I honestly thought that this treatment would improve my night vision. I still wait to see the outcome

Dear Patient, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We pride ourselves on providing a consistent standard of service across all of our SpaMedica hospitals, so we're very sorry to hear that the quality of your experience varied. It sounds like you may be suffering with a condition called Posterior Capsule Opacification in the eye that was initially operated on, which can occur in some patients after cataract surgery. You can find out more information about the condition on our website: www.spamedica.co.uk/treatments/yag-laser-capsulotomy/ We hope your upcoming appointment helps to resolve the issues that you're experiencing. It sounds like you have already had a follow-up appointment with our optometrist to discuss your symptoms, but if you have any concerns in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact us via contact@spamedica.co.uk or by calling 0330 058 2581 Wishing you all the best, SpaMedica.

good experience no problems with pre treatment but a bit disappointed when I looked at the 2 boxes of eye drops. Pred Forte 1 drop 4 times day right eye (the eye I had the procedure on) and Acular 1 drop 3 times a day left eye(no procedure) !!!! Instructions should bed accurately given I think!!

Very professional and friendly staff. I was pleased with the Cataract surgery received and actually looking forward to returning to have the other eye treated. All areas of the building were spotlessly clean as would be expected.

This was my second cataract procedure at Colchester, the first having gone extremely well. All of the staff were friendly, smiling and reassuring. I felt confident in their care. I was impressed by the theatre set up and the efficiency of the staff and surgeon. The procedure was quick and painless. Everything was explained clearly. The results are amazing!

Review titled Brilliant service.

by Joy Sparkes - Posted on 17 June 2024
This is now the second cataract procedure I have had here and I can't fault you on any way. The service provided was excellent. I felt looked after at all times, they explained each step slowly so I was able to understand everything and made sure I was OK before I left. Thank-you very much for your care and attention Joy Sparkes

I needed a cataract removing and visited the Chelmsford SpaMedica for assessment. As my daughters wedding was upcoming they referred me to Colchester for a quicker appointment. 8 days later I had the procedure. Everyone was friendly and efficient and 4 hours later I was heading home.
