No need to ask anything about the procedure as was well covered
Mr Lai was so nice and explained the proceedure before hand
I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the proceeder
Went into the first appointment with trepidation All staff involved were extremely helpful Dr Lai was exceptionally supportive He explained in full detail what would happen before & during surgery Only one word fits EXCELLENT
Mr Lai was very efficient but I would have appreciated further explanation from him about the two different lenses I chose at my assessment. I hadn’t realised how different they would be and that the shirt/mid distance one gave me quite blurred distance vision.
The entire experience was very professional and caring. The clinic has a very calm atmosphere.
All way through from start to finish explained what and when he was doing something to my eyes

All went very well 👌 and all details of the treatment explained in detail. Also good explanation about the after treatment procedure which I would follow at home.
