The staff were excellent, friendly and professional in the Day Care unit
As I was having the procedure with a local anaesthetic I really appreciated the cup of tea in a real mug
However I find the lack of privacy in the waiting area uncomfortable
You can hear every word of the patients' interactions with the nurses. At least the screens should be pulled around you whilst you are in discussion
Unfortunately I found the procedure to be quite painful
As I was unaware what expect I did not raise this with the doctor performing the operation until the end and they said they would write it on my notes for next time ! It should have been painless
I think it would have been helpful if they had said at the start If you feel any pain let me know by raising your hand
However it was a success and I am delighted with how much my vision improved in the hours following the operation
Thank you to the Consultant and the whole team who were on shift in the day care ward
