Please contact me if considering cataract surgery

 I have had many problems and would advise anyone to be very careful.

I went private with a company in Cartagena I would not recommend them as they did my left eye twice and it is not right. 

Since then I have learnt that the health system is better, but I believe it is a 2 year wait.

I'm currently waiting for cataract surgery and last week, signed a document agreeing that my surgery would take place from 90 to 150 days in the Los Arcos hospital. FBetween the appointment that I had with my GP and my first visit to the Ophthalmology department at the hospital was less than 2 weeks.
