Do you know why she's been told to wait two years? If it's down to waiting lists then it would be worth you looking at hospitals in other areas. I took my mum to an eye hospital ninety minutes away because she'd be seen much quicker than anywhere locally.

Thanks will look into this today. She was at hospital for an appointment with a eye surgeon yesterday and I found out late last night about two year wait

Can she go on a cancellation list?

If you look at this page scroll down a bit it explains how to check waiting lists in other areas.

My friend was less than 2 weeks wait in north yorkshire.

You can pay and get it done privately- would that be a good option for her?
