What can you expect from a Bupa-approved ophthalmic unit?
Members receiving cataract treatment can be confident that Bupa-approved ophthalmic units meet defined quality criteria based on standards set by the Healthcare Commission and other clinical governance organisations. These criteria cover procedures from pre-operative examinations and instrument sterilisation to anti-infection procedures and post-operative care. Bupa-approved ophthalmic units will, in most cases, provide members with an admission date within 14 days of their consultation.
