Graham met with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) as it launched its new report which reveals a regional variation in access to cataract surgery across England.
Graham said: “Everyday around 100 people in the UK start to lose their sight and it is very concerning that some patients are missing out on the vital surgery because of this postcode lottery.
It is important that NICE to prioritise the production of its cataract clinical guideline and quality standard and I support their campaign for a National Clinical Director for Eye Health.”
