Pre-assessment
This will be carried out by a nurse in the Out Patient Department, or it can be completed over the telephone by prior arrangement.
The assessment consists of a series of questions relating to your general health, eye history and personal history. The nurse will also take details of any medication you are currently taking. It also may be necessary to take a sample of blood and perform a tracing of your heart. Both can be performed in the hospital.
These questions are necessary in order for us to plan your care and discharge you safely from the Day Care Unit.
At the assessment the nurse will discuss the anaesthetic procedure and the operation with you. The nurse will also discuss the aftercare that you will receive following surgery.
"I feel sure that I am only one of your many patients who has reason to be thankful for our treatment at the Yorkshire Eye Hospital"
