Freedom Vision Epsom

Freedom Vision Epsom is a state-of-the-art facility offering 5-star care and treatment for patients seeking cataract surgery. Staffed by an expert team of ophthalmic surgeons, the state-of-the-art hospital offers rapid access to cataract surgery together with a choice of modern intraocular lenses (IOLs) at transparent prices with no hidden costs. The modern and welcoming premises are conveniently located in Epsom town centre.  At Freedom Vision, the focus is on providing 5-star care and treatment. The team takes the time to find out about each patient and to provide a tailored treatment plan customised to that person’s unique set of circumstances.  Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery in the UK, with around half a million procedures completed every year. It is conducted while the patient is awake using local anaesthetic eye drops, is painless, and takes around 15 minutes to complete. Freedom Vision Epsom offers every patient a free one-hour consultation with an optometrist, where a series of non-invasive eye tests will be carried out to determine your suitability for surgery. If surgery is the right option for you, you will then benefit from another free consultation with a consultant ophthalmologist (eye surgeon), who will be able to discuss the lens options available to you and answer any questions you have before your operation. Following successful cataract surgery, some people develop a condition called Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO), whereby the lens capsule of the eye that holds the IOL in place itself becomes cloudy. This can happen months, or even years, after the procedure and doesn’t mean that the surgery has gone wrong.  YAG laser capsulotomy is the use of a medical (YAG) laser to create a small hole in the cloudy lens capsule, restoring vision. The procedure takes just a few minutes and is painless.
