Cataract surgery turns young woman's life around

A 21-year-old has received life changing cataract surgery at Rowley Hall Hospital in Staffordshire.

Bonnie Thomas has always had difficulty with her vision and after becoming frustrated when trying to read number plates during her driving lessons, approached eye surgeon Balasubramaniam Llango.

Llango, who specialises in corneal transplant procedures, made the suggestion for Thomas to have cataract surgery despite her young age.

He said: ‘Even though many older people require cataract surgery, the age for surgery is not set in stone. I’m delighted that Bonnie is thrilled with the surgery and that it has made a real difference to her day-to-day life.’
