Taunton Hospital - Staplegrove Elm, Taunton, TA2 6AN

This free virtual event at Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital is for anyone who would like to find out more about refractive lens surgery as a treatment option for sight correction.

Until the early 1990’s, anyone with sight issues had no choice but to correct their vision with either spectacles or contact lenses. However, significant developments over recent years in surgical techniques, laser technology and intraocular lenses mean it is now possible to permanently correct sight problems such as short-sight, long-sight, and astigmatism.

Refractive lens surgery is designed to make you less dependent on glasses and contact lenses, helping you to lead an active lifestyle more easily. It eliminates the need for cataract surgery in later life, and your spectacle prescription normally remains stable after the treatment.

This free virtual event will give you the opportunity to hear a virtual presentation by Mr Indy Sian, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon here at Taunton Hospital, who will discuss refractive lens exchange and premium lenses for cataract surgery. This will be followed by an informal Q&A session where you can ask any questions you may have and get expert advice.

Once you have registered for the event using the form below, a member of our team will be in contact to confirm your booking. You will be emailed a Microsoft Teams link, which you can use to join the session from your computer or phone, prior to the event.

Please note: this event is relevant to those for whom Taunton Hospital is your local Nuffield Hospital.
