Aces adds NHS services in Manchester and Exeter

Community ophthalmology provider Aces has won approval from Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board and in Exeter to treat NHS patients awaiting cataract surgery. 

Stephen Hannan, clinical services director at Aces, said: ‘Lengthy waiting lists for NHS cataract surgery represent one of the biggest problems facing the eye care sector, and we’re very proud to be helping to reduce it, benefiting those who matter most, the general public. It’s vital that anyone who is concerned about their vision speaks to their optometrist, or their GP,  to be referred to Aces.’

Aces said NHS patients in Manchester and Exeter experienced severe delays for treatment and its approval would help patients in each city receive reduced waiting times.
