I had my second cataract operation, Mr Rahman was very welcoming, pleased with the results of my first procedure but still very thorough when explaining the risks involved ( because I also have Foulkes Dystrophy) and the importance of the aftercare - not just the eye drops but also what I must and must not do while recovering
