The whole experience on the day was exceptional from the initial contact at reception and subsequent care when taken to the procedure area. Upon entering the procedure room Dr. Shafiq was very calming reassuring and informative throughout the procedure which went remarkably well. Dr. Shafiq was totally in control and the end result could not be better. I have always had problems with my eyesight and find it difficult to believe the improvement. Having worn contact lenses for a number of years and previously spectacles from a very early age I now find no need for a lens in my left eye with regard to distance. The improvement is amazing. I have as yet to go back for my right eye in the near future. I would recommend Newmedica to anyone considering cataract surgery. Regards
