My experience with Manjit was very positive. I had a very bad cataract and I was initially very nervous to see anyone about it. I had been told he was highly experienced and was used to dealing with difficult cases. Manjit made me feel very comfortable. He was positive, decisive and clear about the plan for surgery . This gave me the confidence to go ahead. I would recommend Manjit Mehat to anyone with problematic eyes. He is a very talented surgeon.

The experience was very easy. Prior to my treatment Mr Mehat fully explained the Cataract and lens replacement surgery .He was very professional and has a nice manner I always felt confident with his explanations to any questions that I had. On the day of my surgery, again it was very laid back and Mr Mehat placed me at ease and explained thoroughly what was going to happen which made me feel comfortable and reassured that all would be well. And it was. .
