Skipping the NHS wait

NHS cataract waiting times vary widely by region and can run to many months. Going private means you are usually assessed and treated within a few weeks, you choose your consultant and your lens, and you can have both eyes treated promptly. Read more about current waits in our guide to the NHS cataract surgery waiting list in 2026, and about the procedure itself on our cataract surgery page.
