Final visit following catarat removal and lense insertion. Good overall check of my eyes. Also advised to contact him if any problems further down the line. Very pleased with the surgery in which every step was explained whilst it was happening, which put me at ease.

The guidance and advice I received were superb. With Newmedica’s help I decided on multifocal lenses. After 40 years wearing glasses I no longer need any at all. This has been life-changing.

Mr Tildsley was very pleasant and professional. He examined by eyes thoroughly explaining what he was doing. Thankfully he found my eyes were fine post op with no problems and I have now been discharged but Mr Tildsley stressed that if I have any problems at all to get in touch with the clinic. Thank you Mr Tildsley for everything.

Absolutely brilliant, friendly caring staff who put you at ease. Mr Tildsley explained the procedure in detail. The facilities are spot less, and most of all air conditioning through out the building, would recommend to anybody.

All staff at Newmedica were excellent from start to finnish when visiting for multifocal lens replacement surgery. The staff were polite and courteous to explain what was involved and put me at ease at all times during my visit. Mr James Tildsley who completed the procedure was very professional and caring and reassured me during and after the operation that all went well. After care and post op appointments were also excellent and informative I was so pleased I chose Newmedica for my lens replacement treatment and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone.

I have worked with Mr Tildsley for over 6 years now and could not recommend him highly enough to colleagues for referrals and directly to patients themselves. He is an expert in his field of glaucoma and also has very happy patients whom he gets out of glasses with premium lens cataract surgery.
