Could not have been better felt slightly nervous about carrying out work on my left eye but from start to finish the staff explained what was happening and what the next step was in a very calm and relaxed manner which was of great help. The. Ophthalmologist Mr Wride was first class both prior and during the surgery (full marks to him)
