  • Slight delay with waiting time in clinic for initial consultation. Facilities excellent & staff very friendly & helpful. Mr Awad explained cataract issues & treatment required clearly in detail. Everything went very smoothly on day of operation. Extremely happy with result. Would definitely see Mr. Awad again if treatment needed in other eye.

  • I cannot praise Mr Awad highly enough for the delicate, skillful and valuable care he provided during my cataract surgery. I have worn glasses since I was 4 years old but now my distance vision is better than ever even without glasses. My very grateful thanks to Mr Awad's splendid team at Spire Abergele clinic.

  • Mr Awad dealt with my cataracts at the end of July 2026, implanting enhanced monovision (EMV) lenses in both eyes. The procedure was very satisfactory and my vision in both eyes is now near-perfect. He was friendly, approachable and informative at the initial consultation, the procedure itself and the follow-up consultation. I had complete confidence in his professional ability and I strongly recommend Mr Awad to anyone needing cataract surgery.
