- From start to finish Optical Express have been the best. The whole staff including my surgeon Taha Ahmed and Sandra in discharge who both cared so much throughout the whole day. Nothing was too much trouble. Taking time explain the process and keep me calm and what to do post op. Fantastic outcome. Thank you, you have changed my life !!!
- The staff from reception through to the nurses, Optometrists and my surgeon Dr Taha were all first class and really put me at ease. I'm amazed at the results less than 18hrs after surgery already able to read things I struggled with with my glasses on. Thankyou so much to you all. Would thourally recommend this clinic to anyone thinking of having this procedure.
