SpaMedica – one of the country’s leading providers of NHS eye patient services – has opened a new, state-of-the-art eye hospital in Chester.

The site on Chester Business Park will provide cataract surgery and YAG laser capsulotomy to local NHS patients, helping to cut waiting times for those requiring treatment to improve their vision. The new hospital will offer appointments to patients in just two to four weeks, compared to a national target of 18 weeks.

Offering a comfortable, welcoming environment for patients and their families, the site also provides a free transport service to and from the hospital.
