Explanation

Mr Wearne was very reassuring he explained everything and put me at ease. I have a problem where I cannot lie flat and I was referred to a different ophthalmologist who said if I cannot lie flat they could not do the operation. Mr Wearne and his team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The whole team was very kind and I highly recommend Mr Wearne and would not hesitate if I had to have my other eye done. Thank you

Explanation

From my initial consultation to my post op appointment I received absolutely first class treatment from Mr Wearne and his team. Mr Wearne is a consummate professional with a very likeable approach ~ who I would highly recommend. Having been extremely short sighted for 40 years the outcome of my two cataract ops (performed two weeks apart) has been totally life changing! I no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses and have excellent unaided distance vision ! Thank you Mr Wearne

This was a minor miracle. After 50 years of being shortsighted I could throw away my glasses after I had a Trifocal lens after cataract removal. The procedure was quick and painless and I found Mr Wearn and his staff reassuring and professional.

Mr Wearne was very reassuring and took the time to explain all that was involved and what my outcomes could be especially as I had previously had Lasik surgery 13/14 years earlier. I'm happy to say that all went very well and that I'm almost spectacle free apart from quite tiny print!

Explanation

“Simply the Best” as Mick Hucknall would say! I received 5* treatment every step of the way with Mr Wearne, from the initial consultation to the post op follow up. I had cataracts removed from both eyes 3 weeks apart and now have 20/20 vision and no longer wear glasses at all. My cataracts appeared very quickly over a 9 month period and I was extremely concerned about my loss of vision. As I have astigmatism in both eyes the need for glasses could not be ruled out post op but Mr Wearne assured me he would do his utmost to correct the issue and explained fully the whole procedure from beginning to end. So to summarise, in the words of Louis Armstrong “What a Wonderful World” and thank you Mr Wearne!

Explanation

From attending my first consultation with Mr Wearne I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable by everyone. Thorough examination and the procedure I was to undergo was explained fully. The procedure itself was straightforward and I experienced no pain. Within a couple of days I felt like I was living in a different world as my sight was so improved and colours so vivid. My final examination revealed my sight was 20/20 and I was discharged. I would have no hesitation at all in returning and having the same procedure as and when it proves necessary for my other eye.
