Tom Kersey listened attentively to what I hoped to gain from my cataract surgery. After the various tests and examinations he explained clearly the various options and what should produce the best outcome for me. The procedure was stress free and I am extremely pleased with the result.

I cannot thank Dr. Kersey and his team enough for their care. Dr. Kersey’s transparency and calm professionalism during my consultations really meant a lot to me. Special thanks to Suzanne and the imaging staff for being so pleasant and helpful throughout the process.

Mr Kersey saw me before I underwent the cataract operations in both my eyes. He explained very clearly what would happen and I felt very confident in his care. I attended the Spire Clinic Clare Park for both operations. The operations themselves were extremely easy to tolerate and my eyes settled very quickly. After each operation I attended Mr. Kersey's clinic so that he could check my progress and answer any outstanding questions I might have. I thoroughly recommend his professionalism and approachable nature which put me completely at ease. I would have no hesitation in returning to his care for any future optical needs.

Having had double lens replacement in 2023 which Mr Kersey carried out without any issues, pain or problems. With his calm reassuring professional manner I was happy to see him again when I recently had an overgrowth on the lens which he corrected quickly and painlessly. I trust him to such a degree that I was happy to undertake a journey of 60 miles to ensure he carried out any procedure as I trust him and his ability totally. Eyes are so important. Mine were in safe hands. Highly recommend this professional.

At each of my appointments Mr Kersey was welcoming with a smile which puts one at ease instantly. He explains the process in a calm and patient manner and is always open to questions. His pre procedure approach is step by step and not at all daunting, also giving the patient a 3 page document with full details of the procedure and after care at the end of which is a telephone number for any queries. His aftercare, and those of the attending nurse, is exceptional.
