Always a pleasant experience with absolutely top class care / tests / treatments. Mr Casswell reviewed me today after Pressure Test, dilating drops and scans by the wonderful clinicians. Given the prolonged trouble I have experienced with my left eye, Mr Casswell performed Laser Treatment on my good eye as he was a little concerned with the retina. Mr Casswell has a great caring professional friendly nature, making patients feel totally at ease, together with his skill and outstanding qualifications in his field.

My cataract surgery exceeded my expectations as I am able to see clearly long distance and close up without any need for glasses. I did not feel any pain during the surgery and my recovery has been pain free with just a little discomfort in my right eye which drops have eased.
