Second opinion FAQs
Can I get a private second opinion on cataract surgery in Yorkshire?
Yes. You are entitled to seek a second opinion from any consultant ophthalmologist privately, without your original surgeon's approval. Mr Mohamed Mohyudin (GMC 7039600) welcomes second-opinion consultations for cataract surgery, lens choice, and complex cases — including patients on long NHS waiting lists or those told surgery is not suitable elsewhere.
What should I bring to a cataract second-opinion appointment?
Bring any previous clinic letters, biometry/IOL scan results, spectacle prescription, and a list of your medications. If you have been told a particular lens type is unsuitable, bring that letter too — Mr Mohyudin will review the measurements personally and explain your options honestly.
How much does a private cataract second opinion cost?
A private consultation with Mr Mohyudin typically costs £250–£350. 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. Surgery, if recommended, can usually be arranged within 4–6 weeks — compared with 12–18+ months on the NHS waiting list.
Does Mr Mohyudin offer second opinions on squint surgery?
Yes. Mr Mohyudin is fellowship-trained in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. He regularly sees adults and children who have been told their squint cannot be improved. He will give an honest assessment of realistic outcomes before any surgery is offered.
