In about 2002, Professor Gartry performed LASIK surgery, improving my eyesight from -12 to 20/20. Over the years, my prescription deteriorated with age, and a few months ago (at about -4), I decided to follow my husband’s lead and go for refractive lens exchange. I had no intention at all of entrusting my eyes to anyone other than Prof Gartry, so visited the clinic (professional, warm, friendly) and got myself booked in for surgery. My eyes were done a week apart, and the whole team were superb. Two months on, I’ve just had my final check up and been told that my lifelong astigmatism has been eliminated, as well as my sight hovering around the 20/20 mark. As in 2003, ‘delighted’ would be an understatement- Prof Gartry’s work truly is life changing.
