Optegra Eye Hospital Bradford is offering the new approach, which eliminates the need for the traditional four-week regime of eye drops following surgery. "By providing a steroid and antibacterial treatment during the procedure, all this medication is provided in one go." Optegra has already treated more than 1,000 patients using the new method, with positive outcomes reported. Melanie Andrews, NHS commissioning director at Optegra, said: "Optegra’s focus is, and always will be, exceptional patient care. "This revolutionary launch of post-surgery drop-free treatment is a significant improvement to the process for our patients."
