Very happy after my visit. Dan has a wonderful ‘bedside’ manner and explains everything in layman’s language.
Truly excellent service and I am very pleased with the results
Fantastic put my mind at rest about unusual congenital eye structure which I had been referred with.
Outstanding patient care. Everything was explained thoroughly and I was made to feel at ease regarding my operation. Thank you so much for your care and attention.
On my first visit I was very nervous as I do not like having my eyes examined but Professor Lindfield was so understanding my recent visit was much more relaxed.
Dan takes time to reassure and provide explanations in clear language.
Professor Lindfield and his team are friendly and professional, and the waiting room has a calm atmosphere. It was a good visit.
I have my glaucoma follow up check twice a year with Dan.

YAG Laser Capsulotomy for PCO (clouding behind the lens after cataract surgery
YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a short (2 minute), painless procedure to remove the cloudy cells that can accumulate behind lens implants. Lost that “wow” after your cataract surgery? Results fading? More glare than there used to be? It’s likely you’re developing / have developed some clouding behind your lens implant. It’s very common occurring in up to 50% of eyes after cataract surgery. Called PCO (Posterior Capsular Opacification) these cloudy cells can occur within a few months of surgery but often it’s 1-10 years later. When they become significant enough to hold back your vision we consider removing them. The treatment is short, painless and has a very low risk profile. Click above for more details:
