According to NHS England&#8217;s official referral-to-treatment statistics, at the end of July 2026 <strong>620,931 people in England were waiting to start NHS eye (ophthalmology) treatment<\/strong>, and only <strong>72.9%<\/strong> had been waiting less than 18 weeks, against an NHS standard of 92%. These figures cover all NHS eye treatment in England, including cataract surgery; Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland publish their own figures.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal>Waits vary by hospital, so ask your GP, optometrist or hospital how long yours is likely to be. A free video consultation lets you compare that with a surgeon&#8217;s plan and a pound price before you decide.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal>It also helps to know what the NHS does not usually fund. The NHS does not usually offer laser eye surgery or lens surgery to stop you wearing glasses, and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists notes that such surgery is not available on the NHS or through private health insurance. NHS cataract surgery uses a monofocal lens, while multifocal lenses are available, but not as an NHS patient. For most UK patients the real comparison is therefore private surgery in the UK against private surgery in Istanbul.<\/p><div class=\"links-row\" data-reveal><a class=\"link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/lens-replacement-surgery-turkey\/\">Lens replacement (RLE \/ smart lens) in Turkey <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/a><a class=\"link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/cataract-surgery-turkey\/\">Cataract surgery in Turkey \/ Istanbul <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<!-- Image + Text (Text left, image right) End -->\n\n\n<!-- Process (Step cards: 4 columns) Start -->\n<section class=\"panel\" id=\"after-your-consultation-treatment-in-istanbul\"><div class=\"container-fluid px-0\"><div class=\"row g-0\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n\t<div class=\"sec-head is-center row\"><div class=\"col-12\"><h2 class=\"t48 sec-title\" data-reveal>After your consultation: treatment in Istanbul<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"col-12\"><p class=\"t22 sec-lead\" data-reveal>If you decide to go ahead, the next step is the in-person part.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<ol class=\"steps four row row-cols-1 row-cols-lg-4\" data-stagger>\n\t\t\t\t<li class=\"col\"><div class=\"step h-100\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Your surgeon confirms the date<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Plan your flights only after your surgeon has confirmed your dates.
