Unsatisfactory Cataract Surgery outcome

Story from nhs.uk

"Unsatisfactory Cataract Surgery outcome"

About: Torbay Hospital

I had Cataract surgery on 15th June 2015 and have been left with worse vision than I started with.Some aspects have been improved but overall I have been left with an outcome that has left me with the following characteristics :-dark shadow -blurred vision -a feeling of debris in the eye and consequent discomfort -loss of balance.

I am very sorry about this outcome as I am a keen supporter of the NHS and felt aggreived at being told that you would not see me again other than another referral from my GP.

My final point is that I saw I saw 5 different doctors as well as the Nursing staff all were excellent with one exception who will remain anonymous at by email.

I remain a supporter of the NHS .
