My experience with the surgery carried out on my eyes by Mr Ratnarajan has been excellent. I would recommend him very highly. Everything was explained so well prior to surgery and throughout to the post surgery check up and beyond. For me personally the results of having had the surgery has meant I do not need to wear glasses at all and it has also helped resolve a few other problems with my eyes. It has made such a huge difference to my life and general confidence.

After researching l was sure l had the best eye consultant in the country and therefore had no fear about the surgery going wrong. I had some anxiety over the eye surgery, l think that was normal but his gentle voice and bedside manor instantly put me at ease. He explained everything to the level he felt you wanted, giving you the information you needed to relieve your anxiety. My vision had deteriorated a lot due to cataracts effecting my tennis, Gok seemed to understand actually what l was and what l wasn't seeing. I haven't stopped smiling since l had surgery, Gok has changed my life, l will continue to recommend him.

Mr Ratnarajan is very professional and explained everything about my operations very clearly, didn’t rush me at any point during our consultation and during my two cataract operations explained what he was doing throughout the procedure and was very reassuring. During my post op consultations he also explained about any problems I may encounter in the future and what to do. I would recommend him to anybody needing this type of surgery

I am extremely thrilled with the whole experience of having my cataract removed and a new lens fitted to my eye. I am amazed by the result and how bright and beautiful my world has become since the operation, even my lipstick colour was a revelation!!! I had no idea how pink it is!! Mr Ratnarajan and his team have been fantastic through the whole process and I can’t thank them enough.
