[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2023333, member: 365308"] My sympathies to you as I've had 2 eye ops to save my sight following proliferative retinopathy at Moorfields in London done by a great surgeon (Eric Ezra in 2004). I assume that the surgeons working privately are the same people working in your health service and that your case would be seen as a priority and so perhaps the only advantage could be time/convenience rather than the skill of the surgeon. I also know that a member at the club were I work, was seeking a private surgeon to repair his retina. He lives in London and could not find a private route. After 2 failed NHS attempts however they tried again and were successful so his story had a happy end though he was preparing to live life with 1 working eye only. [/QUOTE]
