Workplace Eye Awareness Month - Did you know? ?? Under the UK’s Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992, employers are legally required to provide and pay for an eye test if an employee regularly uses display screen equipment such as computer monitors and requests one. With Workplace Eye Awareness Month highlighting the importance of vision health, this is a great reminder for both employers and employees to prioritise eye care in the workplace. Regular eye tests not only help detect changes in vision but also contribute to better workplace comfort, productivity, and overall well-being. #WorkplaceEyeAwarenessMonth #WorkplaceWellbeing #EyeHealth #Optegra #OptegraEyeHealthCare #BetterVision #Ophthalmology #PatientChoice #NHS

Optegra Launches Pioneering Cataract Treatment For NHS Patients! NHS patients at our Hampshire hospital have reaped the benefits of a unique approach to cataract surgery demonstrating how the independent sector can innovate to help lead the way in patient care. The outcomes have been outstanding – both medically and in patient satisfaction. For the first time ever in the UK, Optegra has offered NHS patients a pioneering “treble” of cataract care: 1.??????Providing pre-op consultation and treatment on the same day; 2.??????Bilateral surgery – both eyes treated within the same procedure; 3.??????Revolutionary drop-free surgery by using a steroid injection instead. While each of these elements have been successfully carried out before and medically evidenced individually, Optegra is the first to offer all three to patients at one time. Jim Hayles, 70, from Southampton said: “I feel in very safe hands it is so professionally run here. When I was speaking to the surgeon he was saying about having the tests and both eyes treated at the same time. I thought ‘brilliant’, two eyes at same time means I do not have to worry about having two ops and two lots of everything.” Mr Stuart, Optegra Medical Director, “The post-op checks in the week following the procedures were excellent.?No patients experienced any issues, and all eyes were settling well. The patients all gave positive feedback and were thrilled with the experience, which is very encouraging.” ? This pilot is now being reviewed with a view to rolling out drop free cataract surgery across the group’s 17 NHS hospitals and clinic in the next month. Stay tuned for our video explaining the procedure in more detail soon.
