Excellent arrangements made prior to procedure which proceeded with a high degree of professionalism.
Today I have been signed off 12 weeks post Upper Bleph, I canot fault the service recieved from Mr Hickey, thrilled with the outcome and wouldnt hesitate to recommend.
Mr Hickley and his supporting optician were very thorough, knowledgable, helpful and supportive. They explained everything in enough detail, in sufficiently "non technical" terms, for me to understand and to be confident I was making informed choices. I have had lens replacement in both eye's. Procedures were "uneventful" which is exactly what you want and my vision is great. Post operation medication was very clearly explained with a great "tick sheet" to enable you to be sure that you did the right drops at the right time.
Understood the process and procedure although I did think I was able to drive home and I definitely wasn’t.
Pleased with the consultation and the subsequent surgery
After several months of unresolved issues with my eyes, on recommendation, I went to see Mr Hickley. He was friendly, pleasant and professional and immediately put me at ease. After a thorough examination, he was able to diagnose exactly what my problem was and clearly explained the possible solutions available. I would definitely recommend Mr Hickley and his team.
I was very nervous about my procedure but was reassured from the start of the process and was made to feel very comfortable with it all.
Utterly professional with a very kind a caring manner. I was in very safe hands with Mr Hickley and am very grateful
I found Mr Hickley to be very personable and friendly. His knowledge and experience made me realise I had definitely found the right man for the job - if anything he is way over qualified for this procedure, however, I love that he mainly works with minutiae detail so my procedure should be no problem for him.
