Chec sets up specialised services

Ophthalmology and healthcare provider Community Health and Eyecare (Chec) rolled out vitreoretinal surgery services at its Trafford and Stockport hospitals.  

‘We’re pleased to now offer these specialised services to the communities of Trafford and Stockport, helping improve their quality of life,’ said Mahmoud Rabie, clinical director for ophthalmology and consultant ophthalmologist for Chec.  

‘We’ve received remarkable feedback from patients who are thrilled with the outcome of their surgery. Even though this is such a specialised field of ophthalmology, procedures last approximately one hour and require only local anaesthesia, meaning patients can have their lives transformed quickly and notice great results within a matter of weeks.’
