The operation was very quick,my surgeon Saglain Sadiq was fantastic, talked to me throughout the procedure, highly recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their life.
- Absolutely amazing. From the first consultation to the after care following lens replacement surgery the Bristol team have been incredible and the operation hugely successful. A special shout out to my surgeon Dr Sadiq, Nigel the anaesthetist, Naomi the nurse and Ben the optometrist. Not to mention Robert, Douglas and Dominic in the Glasgow office. Highly recommended!
- Huge thanks to everyone in the Haymarket office, including Danielle, Georgina and surgeon Huba Kiss - lens replacement surgery done in both eyes 24 and 31 July 2026, and now lifelong short-sightedness - and the cataracts - are gone, with glasses not needed at all. In particular, great care and time were taken in the preceding weeks to get the prescription right for each eye. Big thanks too to the Glasgow office where the surgery itself took place.
