From initial enquiry the process has been first class.. I received an appointment very soon and the the optometrists were very friendly and carried out their tests in a thorough way and friendly manner. an appointment for my cataract surgery followed quickly and on the day again the nursing staff were very competent and friendly. The operative procedure was carried out causing me to be totally relaxed and without any nerves. As already stated First Class and I would recommend to anyone.

Cathedral Eye Clinic is such an amazing place regarding knowledge and help with dry eyes. My dry eyes condition has been extreme and my eyes have been constantly uncomfortable & at times very painful. Thankfully now that I have had a 4th IPL treatment, I definitely feel as if I am turning a corner on the way to getting fluid into my eyes naturally on a permanent basis. Both Rebecca & Keira are highly professional & knowledgable on the topic of dry eyes, have been amazing during my treatments. I would like to say a very big thank you to them both! Pamela C

As all members of the team have been to date, my specialist today, Richard was excellent. He was both friendly, professional and thorough throughout my 3-month follow-up assessment. He took all the time required to carry out my assessment fully, and answer all my questions with no sense of hurry. A small point only when all specialists are very competent in their roles, but in my case at least with a different specialist each time, there isn't quite the same knowledge of patient and any individual concerns that may have been raised in previous appointments.
