Patients note excellent outcomes from eyelid surgery and describe cataract surgery as easy and painless.

I’m really pleased with the procedure I had — it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was handled professionally and made me feel completely at ease throughout.
I am extremely pleased with the results of my eyelid surgery performed by Mr. Caesar. From start to finish he was kind, very professional and reassuring. The outcome has exceeded my expectations. I have felt confident and well cared for throughout the entire process and recovery.
I have just had upper blepharoplasty surgery carried out by Richard. The whole process from initial contact with his very friendly and helpful secretaries to first consultation with Richard all the way through to post op have been excellent! Would highly recommend.
Both eyes needed cataract surgery. Operations were performed about 3 months apart. I was apprehensive before the first operation but there was no need. It was one of the easiest medical experiences I have ever had. Strangely, I looked forward to, and enjoyed, the second operation. My eyes feel most comfortable and my eyesight appears as good as it has ever been. I have stereoscopic vision and can read a number plate at 60 paces. Colour contrast and resolution is most impressive. (And I am most grateful).
Very positive. Mr Caesar explained everything in detail. He has a lovely bedside manner. I was fully at ease from my consultation to surgery.
Procedure clearly explained before snd during operation. Excellent aftercare
I needed a surgeon who could handle the complexity of a fully blown cataract in my right eye. This had developed following macular surgery some ten plus years earlier. I was pleased with the suggestion at my consultation that it would be best for me in 70s with high blood pressure to have the cataract operation done with general anaesthetic on both right and left eyes in one surgical session. Although I was anxious about this I agreed to this plan. I had trust in Mr Caesar’s calm expertise. My experience was positive. I especially appreciated his follow up service which helped me manage my post operation situation at home.
The team are amazing, from the first greeting from Tina at the clinic reception to meeting Mr Caesar. Everything was explained clearly and in detail and any questions answered. I am delighted with my results, after only one week. Also the team at the Nuffield hospital Cheltenham were so kind as I was a little nervous before, must also mention Simon who held my hand throughout the procedure (I think every hospital needs a Simon) If you’re thinking of having blepharoplasty I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Caesar, you couldn’t meet a nicer surgeon, professional service from start to finish, my eyes are now like the use to be, don’t look so tired and I can’t wait to show them off. Will defiantly be recommending Mr Caesar to my friends .
Mr. Caesar is both highly professional and wonderfully approachable. On the day of my procedure, I have to admit I was a little nervous, but Mr. Caesar and his team immediately put me at ease. Now, just one week after surgery, the results are already amazing — with very little swelling or bruising, and everything healing beautifully. I would highly recommend Mr. Caesar without hesitation.
Ric is a highly experienced and highly respected specialist and an elegant surgeon.

Mr Paul John Tomlins
OphthalmologistRic is a great surgeon and lovely guy. Very straightforward and will always give you an honest common-sense opinion. I am an eye surgeon myself and happily chose Ric to do my step-father's cataracts, a ringing endorsement if ever there was one. Also one on the best for eyelids and blepharoplasty!
