Mr Alwitry is amazing. He immediately puts you at ease, talks you through every moment of the procedure with kindness, understanding and humour! Can't wait to return for the other eye. Highly recommended!

You need to write down what the post op nurses tell you. I was told not to and the information would be given to me but that information differed from one document to another. It was difficult to get answers to further questions and anxieties. And still is. Be aware you will not get any post op support from the hospital itself and the post op support you do get will take four weeks to be offered.

At annual eye check, cataract in left eye had become noticeably worse and the start of a cataract detected in the right eye. This resulted in impaired vision particularly when night driving.

Met Mr Alwitry who put me at ease straight away. I was very nervous about the surgery but he put my mind at ease. Operation went very well and the after care and follow up was excellent. Also the very kind and professional Nicola who rang to make sure everything was ok after the op.

Surgery outcomes for both right and left eyes is extremely good and I am extremely happy with this. Had a problem with corneal abrasion on my right rye which has now been resolved.

After the procedure there is quite a long wait before getting the all clear to go. Which is not a problem it’s for the patients safety. So I took my own sandwiches and snack and flask to be able to eat and drink it was later in the afternoon and I was getting hungry. I didn’t want to leave my room to look for food. That’s my personal thing. And not meant to be a negative comment.
