Cataract Surgery Abroad
Without the Waiting List
Cloudy vision shouldn't have to wait. DM2Medical coordinates private cataract surgery at St James Eye Clinic in Hungary, with travel and aftercare taken care of.
DM2Medical is not a clinic. We coordinate your care with our partner, St James Eye Clinic in Hungary. All clinical decisions are made by the treating specialists.
About This Service
Clearer vision, on your timeline
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens. Surgery replaces it with a modern artificial lens and is one of the most common operations in the world.
Where NHS waits are long, travelling for private surgery can be a practical option. We coordinate the specialist assessment, lens choice discussion, travel and follow-up.
Treatment Options
Lens options
The right option is confirmed only after a suitability assessment by the clinic's specialists.
Single-focus lens
Corrects either distance or near vision. You'd typically still use glasses for the other range.
New-generation lens
Improved range of vision beyond a standard monofocal lens, with less dependence on glasses.
Premium lens
Designed to reduce the need for glasses at several distances. Suitability is decided at assessment.
Pre-surgery assessment
A full eye examination to confirm the cataract, plan the lens and check your eye health.
