Newmedica - Patient Stories - June

During National Eye Health Week we are urging people to keep up with their regular eye tests or risk the possibility of damaging their sight. 25% fewer eye tests were undertaken during the pandemic which led to a reduction in referrals and the treatment of serious eye conditions which could lead to permanent sight loss.
June began developing cataracts which made her vision cloudy and blurry and the fear of losing her vision was devastating.
Although she was frightened of the procedure she was determined to get her life back and her vision. After a 10 minute painless routine, her sight returned! June says not to be scared of cataract surgery - just do it because it restores your life.
