I am absolutely delighted with the result of my surgery. Being able to read newspapers, books and restaurant menus without glasses is just brilliant. You don’t realise how much you have not been able to see until after the surgery. Both my long and short sight are now as good as I could have ever hoped. My home is a lot cleaner now and I can put on my eye make up and put in my earrings without needing glasses to do so.

I felt in very good hands with Professor Gartry because I had been recommended by a friend, and because he has performed so many such operations and is recognised as a leader in his field. The bonus is that he such a lovely man, very warm, reassuring and funny.

I was nervous before the surgery but there was no need because I could not see or feel anything during the surgery. There was no pain afterwards and the aftercare at home was as simple as eye drops.

I should add they I have Macular degeneration and I did not know if I could have the surgery because of that. Professor Gartry arranged for me to see a specialist colleague who gave me the all clear. The whole process was faultless and thoroughly recommended.
