I was given clear instructions about the operation and what l was required to do beforehand. I had glaucoma and cataracts and was instructed to give myself Timolol drops before the operation to reduce the pressure on my eye, very easy to apply. Then on the day of the operation I was fitted with a drain to stabilise the pressure in my eye I also had a new lens to correct my sight. I was then given Antibiotic and Maxidex drops to use for up to 28 days. The whole procedure was very easy and non painful due to Mr Elshan and his team

Mr Elsahn is an excellent clinician and has provided clear explanation of my pathology from start. The procedure and the risks were clearly explained at every stage prior to my operation last week. Today my first post operation visit and I had excellent examination . I am very satisfied with today's visit. A follow up visit has been organised in 2 weeks to assess. All this has been face to face.

Mr Elsahn was very kind and informative. He has patience and understanding.The stent/cateract he performed was a great success with excellent vision within a very quick time after the operation. I highly recommend Mr Elsahn to anyone who is in his care before and after surgery.
