Hello Sue just to let you know that I had both of my eyes done one last June and the other last September. Your eyes really are not bad once they are done and I drove back both times no problem at all. Best thing I ever did. 20/20 vision.

Thank you that’s reassuring.

 Where did you get eyes done? I have cataracts and need to get them done but have contacted eye department several times by email and not had a reply (just auto acknowledgement) Have been in touch with eye clinic in Vera but they do not do femto laser.

Sorry I went to Vera Vision in Vera. Paid for it. I had really bad cateracts in both so he removed them and then put new lenses in too. Hope this helps

if you are going through the health services you can ask for ambulance transport to be arranged on the day by the medical centre.

I've just had cataract surgery on one of my eyes. Yes I had to go to Almeria to have it done with Veravision.i can highly recommend Dr Mariano. The surgery wasn't painful and he offers very thorough check ups.
