Could not have been better

The whole process and outcome was brilliant. I was very nervous but it couldn't have been an easier process or a better outcome.

Mr McLean was fantastic The moment I stepped foot into his office for an eye exam, he was caring and explained everything that was going to happen and the results and what they meant, which was very refreshing and very informative. When admitted for my operation, he checked up on me, explained everything again of what was going to happen and was extremely reassuring. Post operation and for the follow up consultation, Mr McLean was again very caring, together with explaining everything in details, which I was extremely grateful for. He has been absolutely fantastic all the way through from start to end and would not hesitate (and do) recommend his service whole heartedly..... Thank you very much !

Mr McLean was a very patient, informative and caring consultant, and I felt very comfortable and fully informed throughout the entire process.

Mr Mclean explained the procedure very well at the first consultation. The cataract operation went very smoothly under a local anesthetic. No pain and very little sensation while he performed surgery. Recovery was smooth.
5
Following an initial consultation Mr McLean advised that I required cataract removal surgery with a lens replacement. Mr McLean was very careful and thorough in explaining the different lens options. I was given a very clear explanation of the procedure together with possible risks. Following surgery my vision is now excellent. Images are very clear and colours brighter and sharper. Thank you Mr McLean.

I was looked after incredibly well from the nursing staff through to Chris McLean. The whole experience was a pleasure, which included the very efficient service, the delicious lunch and very reassuring communication during the op. The icing on the cake was the excellent result! Lesley S
