# NHS cataract waiting list — Yorkshire

## Quick answer

NHS cataract surgery waiting times for West and South Yorkshire patients currently run to 12–18 months or longer from GP referral to operation across local trusts. The national RTT target is 18 weeks, but ophthalmology waits have exceeded this since the pandemic backlog. Privately, Mr Mohamed Mohyudin (GMC 7039600) typically sees Yorkshire patients within 1–2 weeks and operates within 4–6 weeks at Spire Elland Hospital, from £3,000 per eye. No GP referral is required for self-pay.
