Professor Gartry was excellent in all aspects of the surgery, providing detailed and relevant advice throughout, while making me feel completely at ease with the procedures. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend him to family and friends. I am pleased I had the surgery.

This surgery was transformative I went from sitting in meetings unable to read the PowerPoint to being able to read small print easily and better than 20:20 vision

I have had mono-vision contact lenses for some 30 years so adjusted to the mono vision right for long distance left eye for close within a day
I have an astigmatism which has meant that my vision was always a little blurry despite having astigmatism contact lenses My new toric lenses have remedied this so my vision is sharp. No glasses are necessary anymore.

As well as changing my working life the new lenses have improved my quality of life.I have always had a very high prescription for contact lenses now that I can see I have taken up photography. Colours are clear now. It is like I was in a cellar with dirty Windows and have come up to the light

I was nervous about the operation but the anaesthetic worked and it did not hurt at all.

Thank you!

I was referred to David Gartry by my very experienced Doctor who had been treated by him and told me he was the best in London. Even with the bar set high the outcome has exceeded expectations. (I had femto-phako cataract surgery on both eyes with replacement toric lenses).

I echo all the positive comments in these testimonials and I especially valued the combination of leading edge technology and techniques with traditional values. David Gartry is a leader in his field but he carries his expertise with courtesy, approachability and patience. It was easy to discuss things with him and his communications all the way through were exemplary – thorough without being overwhelming or patronising.

Because of the Covid-19 restrictions there was an extended interval between my first and second procedures. Returning to Moorfields from secluded Suffolk soon after lockdown ended added a certain frisson, but I was entirely comfortable with all the precautions taken there and at Wimpole Street. The teams were outstanding throughout.

I have had numerous conversations about the surgery with friends and family who surprised me by pressing for details, and they voiced a high level of anxiety. So, if you are apprehensive too, I suggest you just come and discuss your concerns with David. I think you will be pleased you did.
