I met with Nish Srikantha and again, he put me at ease. He explained everything in detail and the options available to me. I booked in for the cataracts to be removed and the whole process went really well. My vision is so much better and everyone at Medicana have been so caring. I have had a follow up appointment with Nish and am now booked in to have the other eye done!
I suffer from glaucoma and 3 months ago developed a dry eye problem. After trying unsuccessfully to deal with this issue it was decided to stop my eye drops and monitor both the glaucoma and the dry eye problem. The dry eye has now gone and the glaucoma pressure in each eye is within the “observe” band.
Nish could always answer my questions and put my mind at ease. His manner is always welcoming and professional. Excellent service.
