I was devastated to wake up one morning blind in one eye. Thanks to the amazing work of Professor Bainbridge he was able to extract my lens that had detached, allowing Mr. Julian Stevens to insert another. From terror to elation. Can’t thank him enough

After a brief time when I found out that I have Macular Degeneration, God has sent Mr Bainbridge to me! He is the BEST and with one injection 90% of my MD has gone! 100% I recommend him and trust him with my eyes. :)
