- Invest in yourself, your vision and your health
- No delay to being seen and be treated at a time that suits you (NHS current wait: can be over a year for some Trusts for surgery)
- Guaranteed to be seen, treated and operated on at all stages by Mr Lin, an award-winning, Cambridge-trained, triple-accredited Consultant Ophthalmologist with subspecialty training in eyelid, tear duct and cataract surgery throughout your journey. England has the longest and arguably the best training for Ophthalmologists in the World.
- You will have the reassurance of 24/7 direct access to Mr Lin on his personal mobile in the highly unlikely event of any post-operative issues
- With the NHS and NHS-funded external providers you may not be seen by a doctor, even less likely a Consultant Specialist. When the NHS outsources surgery it may be performed by a doctor not on the UK Specialist Register
- More time for your consultation and your procedure
- The NHS and health-insurance providers have strict criteria of what they will fund which excludes cosmetic surgery and generally excludes removal of non-cancerous growths around the eyelid unless they affect your vision
Choosing to go private will not impact your position in the NHS waiting list. The NHS does not permit additional private surgery during an NHS-funded operation.
