I was very nervous of cataract surgery. Mr Muniraju explained everything clearly and on the actual day he was very patient with me. The procedure was painless as he promised and has been a huge success. I have clear vision again in my eye and have signed up to have my other eye treated by him. The staff were very understanding and professional too.
