Second opinion FAQs
Can I get a private second opinion on cataract surgery in Yorkshire?
Yes. You can seek a second opinion from any consultant ophthalmologist privately, without your original surgeon's approval. Mr Mohamed Mohyudin (GMC 7039600) offers second-opinion consultations for cataract surgery, lens choice and complex cases, including patients on long NHS waiting lists or those told surgery or a premium lens is unsuitable elsewhere.
What should I bring to a cataract second-opinion appointment?
Bring previous clinic letters, biometry or IOL scan results, your spectacle prescription, and a list of medications. If you have been told a particular lens type is unsuitable, bring that letter too. Mr Mohyudin reviews the measurements personally and explains realistic options.
How much does a private cataract second opinion cost?
An initial private consultation with Mr Mohyudin at Spire Elland Hospital is from £175, as published on his Spire consultant profile; confirm the current fee when booking. If you proceed to surgery, the consultation fee is usually incorporated into the surgical package. Cataract surgery itself starts from £3,000 per eye (all-inclusive self-pay).
How quickly can I be seen for a second opinion?
Private second-opinion consultations are typically available within 1–2 weeks at Spire Elland Hospital or Newmedica Bradford & Huddersfield (Cleckheaton). If surgery is recommended, it can usually be arranged within 4–6 weeks, compared with 12–18 months or longer on many NHS cataract waiting lists.
Does Mr Mohyudin offer second opinions on squint surgery?
Yes. Mr Mohyudin is fellowship-trained in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, with 500+ squint operations. He sees adults and children who have been told their squint cannot be improved, and gives an honest assessment of realistic outcomes before any surgery is offered.
