About Professor Paul Ursell
You are in expert hands for eye surgery.
Although cataract surgery is the most common eye surgery performed today, very few eye surgeons have dedicated their entire professional life to the procedure. Mr. Paul Ursell at Cataract Doctor is one of the few that has done just that and is known as the eye doctor that other doctors request to perform their cataract operation.
Trained to an international standard, dedicated to cataract surgery in Surrey.
In addition to running his Surrey cataract surgery practice, Mr. Paul Ursell is the lead cataract surgeon for Epsom & St Helier University NHS Trust. Mr. Ursell believes strongly in excellent education for the doctors of tomorrow. He was the Director of the Trust Undergraduate programme for teaching Ophthalmology. He was Treasurer of UKISCRS and an International Lecturer on Cataract Surgery.
Offering superior cataract operation results with less chance of complications.
Mr. Paul Ursell regularly audits the safety of his procedures and efficacy of his results to make sure you get the best eye surgery possible. His surgery results are excellent and his complication rate after eye surgery is remarkably lower than the UK national average. This would explain why his patient satisfaction ratings are exceptionally high.
