Was referred to Cathedral Eye Clinic (CTC) by my Professor Eye Surgeon in South Wales, for the expert second opinion of Professor Jonathan Moore, following cataract eye surgery earlier this year. Experienced a very high standard of expert care from the Principle Optician, who performed comprehensive scans and examinations, taking time to reassure me, explaining clearly the procedures and results, leading up to my consultation with Professor Moore.
