NHS Tayside’s ophthalmology service has doubled the number of cataract surgical procedures that can be carried out in a day thanks to a number of innovations.
The improvements by the ophthalmology team at Ninewells Hospital are part of NHS Tayside’s Remobilisation Plan for services to recover from the effects of the pandemic.
The team previously carried out 12 to 14 cataract surgical procedures in a day but wanted to increase that number driven by dedication to see as many patients as possible and to reduce waiting times.
