Explanation

A huge thank you to Chris for such an excellent service and outcome. Extremely professional and informative yet with a very friendly, relaxed manner that instantly put me at ease. Prior to seeing Chris, I'd developed significant cataracts in addition to already poor near and far vision that needed varifocal glasses 24/7. After discussing lens options, I went with Chris's recommendation of multifocals. The ops went very smoothly, comfortably and also largely stress free due to feeling that I was in good hands. The amazing outcome is that the lenses are excellent and I now have fab 20/20 vision and the glasses are history. I couldn't ask for more. Very highly recommended.

From being very short sighted since I was a boy, I have now had cataract surgery for both eyes, separately, and now, thanks to Mr Hemmerdinger , have superb vision with just the need for reading glasses.

Explanation

Dr Chris Hemmerdinger was amazing. He and his team were reassuring and supportive all through the experience of both my cataract operations in my left and right eye. My husband is very disabled and I am his carer 25:7. The team Chris has put together gave me the confidence and support I needed to end up with amazing bionic vision I both eyes. I chose multi focal lenses. These are fabulous. I need to say that I have been using multi focal contact lenses for years. My transition from cataract impaired vision was made easier due to my earlier experience. I can see as well as I could when I was in my 20s and 30s. Using my iPhone with a small font is easy peasy! I can see the emojis with clarity. Thank you so much Chris. I can sow and knit and read again. Life has become more joyful. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚
