Cataract surgery is the most performed surgical procedure in the NHS, with 486,212 procedures reported to NHS Digital from centres in England from April 2021 to March 2022. Since 2017 the proportion of NHS cataract surgeries performed in the independent sector has increased from approximately 20% to almost 50% in 2021, and the trend is showing no sign of reducing. More recent data from 2022 shows that independent sector treatment centres (ISTCs) are now performing 59% of NHS cataract surgeries.
