Fantastic service, the results far exceeded my expectations as I was extremely short sighted before the procedure, -12 , I was told because of that I would probably still need glasses but the procedure was such a success I no longer require them and my long distance vision is perfect.

He came outside the theatre to introduce himself and check that I was ok. The only slight problem I had during the operation was focusing on the light. At my previous cataract operation, there was a fixed light to watch, but at this one I had the impression that I was looking at the reflection from the head mirror , so I found it difficult to focus. Otherwise everything was fine.
I appreciate your review. It's great to know that my personal approach helped put you at ease. We sometimes use a minimal light setting during the surgery, which is actually more protective for your retina. Wishing you all the best. — Mr Fadi Alfaqawi and the team.
