Mr Dragnev was an excellent surgeon. He checked all the paperwork before performing the operation and I have just had my final check and I'm pleased to say the lenses are positioned correctly and performing well.

Daniel is an exceptional surgeon. He is very thorough,caring and performs the surgery expertly. From our first contact via a video link to pre surgery and post surgery he was very positive and reassuring. He discussed the options available to me and we decide on the option that would give me the best outcomes. Daniel discussed what I should expect prior to the surgery and then was reassuring me during the surgery. He always made sure that I was comfortable and with no pain. I am thrilled with the outcome because of his knowledge and expertise. I now have excellent distance vision and my night vision is brilliant without the need for spectacles
