My appointment with Mr Kersey was to clarify whether or not it was time to have cataract surgery, bearing in mind the complications of a stent already inserted for glaucoma. He explained the pros and cons in a very clear and understandable way, patiently listening to my questions throughout. I left feeling that I had actually been listened to, given sound advice and more confident about future decisions. The best £... I've spent!!! Thank you Tom.
