A small number of places are left for people suffering with cataracts to have them checked at a special clinic in Letterkenny this coming Wednesday.
The Cathedral Eye Clinic team from Belfast will have a team of experts at the Radisson Hotel on September 11.
People can learn how they can undergo cataract surgery at Cathedral Eye Clinic, with partial reimbursement through the HSE under the Northern Ireland Planned Healthcare Scheme.
“We have received a very positive response from the Donegal public,” said clinic team leader Joyce Shaw.
“There are a small number of places left so I would urge anyone who is suffering with cataracts or who has a relative who needs checked to email our team today to secure their place.”
The dedicated Cross Border team will be available to:
- Guide you through the process and help you get started
- Explain the types of treatments and surgeries that qualify
- Discuss costs and reimbursement rates
- Showcase the state-of-the-art Eye Hospital and dedicated cataract theatre
- Answer any questions and book consultations
The free clinic will run from 10.30am until 7pm. Anyone suffering from cataracts can register for a free appointment by emailing victoria.gillespie@cathedraleye.com
Patients do not have to be on a HSE waiting list to have surgery. Hundreds of Donegal patients have been treated by Professor Johnny Moore and his team under Cross Border schemes over the past decade.
