How do I prepare for a Cataract consultation?

  • Please bring you latest (current) distance and near spectacles
  • Please bring any referral letter from your optician and your latest spectacle prescription, if available
  • Please refrain from wearing your soft contact lenses for at least one week and hard contact lenses for two weeks prior to your consultation to ensure accurate lens implant power calculations are carried out on the same day. This is to avoid subsequent delays pending contact lens wear omission.
  • Please do not drive to your appointment on the day, because your pupil will be dilated during the consultation and this can blur your vision.
