  • 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.

  • I had my appointment with Mr Awad yesterday for an examination for my upper bleph surgery in a few weeks, and I was blown away with the level of care and attention to detail he provided. My eyes were examined, measured, and everything was explained to me in full. Mr Awad took time to then answer all questions I had, looked at photos I had brought with me showing what I had in mind, and showed how he would tailor the procedure to my face/eye shape. Extremely excited to proceed.

  • I recently had Mr John Awad for cataract surgery in one eye. The initial consultation was very thorough with the procedure just six days later. I was extremely nervous, really quite frightened, but he was so very reassuring, kind and patient, as were the small team of nurses who support him. The procedure went smoothly with no pain or discomfort whatsoever. Eventually, I will need the other eye doing and I fully intend to have Mr Awad again. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
