Fantastic service at Cathedral Eye Clinic. I had both my cataracts done and never felt a thing, Dr Best and the other staff members are amazing. Although I got a little inflammation in both eyes after my treatment, this was nothing to do with the procedure and the clinic addressed with a course of drops and both eyes are now fine and my vision is so improved, I am delighted with final results. 10 out of 10 for operation and the whole team at Cathedral Eye Clinic.

All the staff were so helpful and kind. They answered all my questions as I was fairly nervous before the cataract surgery and they explained everything both in and out of the operating room.

I was there for my review of the procedure whereby a graft was inserted into the cornea, as I was suffering from Fuchs ' endothelial dystrophy. The surgery was carried out by Mr Mandal in January 2026. Mr Mandal was very satisfied with the surgery. HE gave me a very clear explanation about what was involved, and at each review he explained how the graft was progressing. I was very satisfied with the treatment, and my vision has greatly improved since.
