I am extremely pleased with the care and treatment I received from Mr Young and all the clinic staff . In addition I am delighted with the results of my eyelid surgery. Reassurance was given during surgery and aftercare and the healing process was problem free . Surgery was very successful in that the hooding , particularly problematic on my right eye ( affecting my field of vision ) has been significantly reduced thereby removing the risk of damage to my eye .
