Visited yesterday to have my second cataract removed. I really cannot recommend this man and his team highly enough. I’m delighted with the results already and am amazed at the improvement to both eyes. I was very anxious for my first treatment and totally relaxed yesterday. Everything went smoothly and I’m delighted with the results.

I had surgery performed on my right eye to remove a 40 year old cataract which grew over time due to a trauma incident. The cataract was exstreamly dense and it was uncertain as to what degree of improvement coud be achieved due to the original injury. Risks were fully explained to me and I put my faith in Mr Hickley. 5 weeks later I am delighted to report that I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my eyesight and peripheral vision. Fabulous job done by Mr. Hickley and his team, really pleased with the outcome and experience. Thank You.

Mr Hickley is a kind, caring and an overall highly skilled ophthalmologist with a special interest in oculoplastics (eyelid surgery). Having trained with him, and now working alongside him as a consultant colleague, I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
