I recently had cataract surgery on my left eye performed by Mr. Bansal at Meriden Hospital. The entire experience was very good — Mr. Bansal was highly professional, reassuring, and skilled throughout the process. The procedure went smoothly, and I felt well cared for at every stage. I would certainly recommend Mr. Bansal to anyone considering cataract surgery.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes with Mr Bansal this year and could not be more pleased with the care and outcome. He was patient, personable, and always took the time to listen to my concerns. The consultations before surgery were clear and thorough, with written information provided and treatment options, risks, and costs explained carefully, allowing me to make the best choice for my circumstances. On the days of surgery, he organised the anaesthetist and team for sedation, which helped me feel relaxed and confident. Post-operative prescriptions and guidance were very well managed, and my recovery was smooth with minimal discomfort. Thanks to his skill and care, my vision has improved significantly, clear at a distance, and comfortable for reading and my computer work. I am very grateful for the results and would highly recommend Mr Bansal’s care to others.

I am very happy that after cataract surgery I can now see everything clearly without glasses, both for far and near. I am glad to know that my glaucoma is well controlled with the stents, despite reduced glaucoma drops.

Mr Bansal's professional skills and care were exemplary. He explained everything clearly: my condition, treatment, risks involved, and put me completely at ease. He was so caring, always asking whether.I understood and how I was feeling. I am sure there is no better consultant surgeon in his field of expertise. The surgical outcome was perfect.

Mr Bansal has removed cataracts from both of my eyes this year. I am quite a nervous person and I have to say that throughout, Mr Bansal put me totally at ease, reassured me when I needed it and explained everything fully to me. He had previously treated my husband for cataract removal six years ago and was still the very kind and caring person that I remember from that time. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who may be considering this procedure and of course the outcome is amazing, no more distance glasses needed for me and lovely clear vision too.
