Mr Costen was extremely welcoming and informative. , I am 48 my right eye over a short period of time became like frosted glass. I have undergone a few major surgeries over the years in my abdomen area but I have always had a fear of anything or anyone touching my eyes. From the very first appointment Mr Costen put me at ease and talked me through exactly what to expect. The day of the procedure was exactly the same. I am delighted to say that it was nowhere near as bad as I had envisaged , and the results after two days were amazing! My vision is to me is now perfect and only need a tiny prescription. After months of adapting and making do he literally has given me my sight back. 💯 % worth it. Thank you Mr Costen and your wonderful team. Highly recommended
