Not a lot to say really, all went very well. All the necessary was covered and Mrs Prakash was welcoming.
Mrs Prakash was very professional whilst at the same time being very approachable, kind and caring. She explained everything thoroughly and put me completely at ease. I couldn’t have hoped for a better surgeon. On the day of the operation she was calm and talked to me throughout.

Mrs Priya Prakash, MBBS, MS, FRCS
I am Mrs Priya Prakash, a Consultant Ophthalmologist working in both the NHS and the private sector here in the United Kingdom. Thank you for taking a moment to visit my Doctify page. I have been caring for patients with eye problems for more than 30 years, with a particular focus on cataract surgery using both monofocal and premium intraocular lens implants. I am also a medical retina consultant, specialising in conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease and retinal vein occlusions, as well as many other retinal conditions. In addition, I see patients with glaucoma, dry eyes, eyelid problems and many other causes of blurred or reduced vision. I like to take time to understand your concerns, explain the diagnosis in clear, simple language, and talk through all the options so that we can decide on the best plan together. Many of my patients tell me this helps them feel calm and confident before their procedure. I work at Ramsay Rivers Hospital in Sawbridgeworth, Ramsay Springfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Practice Plus Group Hospitals in Gillingham and Ilford, and at the University of Southampton, alongside a friendly and experienced team. From your first appointment to your follow‑up visit, we aim to make the whole experience smooth, reassuring and centred around you. If you are worried about cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease or another eye problem, I would be very happy to meet you, answer your questions and support you through each step. Thank you again for watching, and I look forward to helping you see more clearly.

Diabetic Eye Disease. Regular EyeCheck Up Saves your Eye sight
Living with diabetes can feel overwhelming, and eye health is often pushed to the bottom of the list. This short explainer walks through diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy in simple language – from silent early vessel damage to the warning signs you must never ignore. It explains how screening photos, anti‑VEGF injections, laser and surgery each fit into a sight‑saving plan, and why everyday habits like HbA1c control, blood pressure, cholesterol and stopping smoking are as important for your eyes as they are for your heart. Share this with anyone navigating life with diabetes so they know exactly when to seek urgent help and how to protect their vision for the long term
