I had a double cataract operation with Dr. Gartry in April at Moorfields, with one week between both interventions.
I had high myopia with high astigmatism and therefore was nervous how to recover my sight, which was decreasing with the cataract.
The prescription prior to the cataract surgery was: Right :- – 10.00/ -4.00 x 70 Left:- -8.00/-2.75 x 100
Dr Gartry explained the operation choices and let me decide. I went for a Femto second Laser-assisted cataract surgery with toric lens implant. The operation was not painful, just discomfortable. I could see the next day and got even better within a month.
The result is thoroughly impressive, especially with the colours: I can’t believe I was seeing like through a dirty glass for so many years.
I am now 20/20 with right eye, and only -1 DS with the left eye with my high astigmatism is now virtually nil!!, “ coming from-10.00 and -8.50! Quite an accomplishment.
I felt supported and understood all along by the professor as well as the team and they answered all my questions very patiently.
I would recommend Professor Gartry and Moorfields, without hesitation.
I am very grateful; it was a life changing operation.
