Everyone was very professional with the assistants performing the tests and scans being extremely polite, helpful and friendly. A lot of sitting around waiting - especially the wait for the eye drops at the end, when, quite honestly, I wanted to leave as the injection was unpleasant on this occasion.

Perfect timing, no waiting so i was not getting anxious. The staff were really good time. Throughout the procedure everything was explained to me so there were no shocks, eg. squirting water into my eye.. One of the nicest things was the receptionist phoning my husband to say I was about to be discharged. He was then waiting for me when I came downstairs.

I am very pleased that I chose this clinic. The premises are modern and spotlessly clean. All the staff from receptionists to consultants were welcoming and friendly. Everything was explained clearly and all my questions answered in full.

A better explanation of the eye drops would have helped especially as the steroid one says 'dispose of after 10 days of opening '.
