I have had two cataracts treated by Mr Bowley and it has all been excellent. A timetable to suit me, all explained really well, and the ops have worked as well as they could have done. All good.
A post surgery visit for my second cataract with Mr Bowley.
Very professional and knowledgeable. Felt very reassured In his presence
I am delighted with the results of my R.L.E. I was very well looked after by Mr Bowley and his team, both on the day of my procedure and during the following weeks. There was always someone available to answer any queries. I am a little squeamish about eyes as I know a lot of people are, but I needn’t have worried. The procedure itself was completely painless and over within 30 minutes and the results are well worth it! I would highly recommend Mr Bowley to anyone considering having an R.L.E..
Neil spent time explaining the procedure and managing my expectations. He was patient and clear. Such was my trust in his abilities that I chose to have both lenses replaced during the same operation - the alternative being a wait of some weeks between each. I am now just over two weeks post surgery and my vision is exactly as I had hoped. It was a big decision but is significantly improving my day to day living.
This was my first cataract operation of two booked with Neil Bowley. The whole experience was handled well by all of the staff involved, very personable and reassuring. I have just received a call from Mr Bowley to see how I am doing after 24 hours, which was very helpful for me to relate my experience to date and to ask a couple of questions. All very positive to date.
Mr Bowley was extremely kind and sympathetic about my longstanding dry eye condition, and provided excellent treatment, which has resulted in real improvement. Everything was explained very clearly, and overall it was a very helpful and positive experience. Very good consultation and treatment in every way, and I highly reccommend Mr Bowley .
