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.
