Hi this post is such good timing, so glad it has worked out well for you.   I have recently been to see Mr Luff after suffering with floaters/PVD for many years, and after much worrying (about the procedure and also the cost!) was set to go ahead this week with vitrectomy and lens replacement to avoid the possibility of further surgery for cataracts.  In the meantime I mentioned it to a new GP who threw me a curveball by querying whether it could be done on the NHS!! I am fairly sure that the answer will be no (for floaters only, it certainly is done for other conditions)  I am now mired in trying to get letters from Optegra to GP, from GP to Eye Dept of local hospital etc.. with the usual hold-ups and lack of information that it entails. I am now almost at the point of thinking blow it I'll just go to Optegra anyway so it was great to read your post. Thank you.
