Pain free and effective treatment

And there’s no need to wait

benenden hospital’s cataract surgery is pain free,
extremely effective, and takes a very short time
under, spray applied, local anaesthetic. You’ll walk
in, you’ll walk out on the same day – just like the
thousands of people who’ve already had cataract
treatment with us.

You can be referred by your GP or Optician as
an NHS patient, self-paying patient or benenden
health member*. benenden hospital is a not for
profit charity, which is why we are able to offer very
competitive prices for self-paying patients. Cataract
treatment packages start from £1,935, which
includes your initial consultation and follow up.

In addition to our standard monofocal lens, we
now offer a choice of multifocal and astigmatism
correcting lenses that could reduce your
dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The
correct lens will depend on your eyes and your
lifestyle, so our eye surgeons will review the various
options with you and explain what you can expect
from each type.

benenden hospital is a modern, award-winning
hospital with state-of-the-art facilities. Our
specialist range of services include cataracts,
varicose veins, hip and knee replacement, general
surgery, gynaecology, hernia repair, orthopaedics,
urology, ENT, paediatrics, physiotherapy and
general medicine.
