Explanation

Mr Day put me at ease. He worked quickly though not so I felt rushed. He explained the cause of the problem clearly with the aid of a hand-drawn sketch and provided advice and guidance having diagnosed the problem. It was clear that I was dealing with an expert in his field. I only found out after the consultation how much of an expert! I have no hesitation in recommending him to others in my situation.

My treatment, for refractive lens exchange, from the first consultation until discharge was excellent. Mr Day was very professional at all times, giving clear and informative explanations at every stage. The thorough pre and post operative scans and testing were reassuring, contributing to the understanding that informed decisions were being made. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Day to any family or friends.
