The whole experience from beginning to end was superb with a superb result so if you are reading this I urge you to look no further than Professor David Gartry as your eye surgeon. You will see from many articles on the internet that he is world renowned and a supremely experienced eye surgeon. He is also a lovely laid back person.

I had cataracts so as they had to be removed and as I am a sailor, Mr. Gartry recommended multifocal lenses. The procedure at Moorfields consisted of a laser to soften the cataract ( very 60’s psychadelic and the green one was especially beuatiful! ) followed by sedation before the 20 minute operation which seemed like 7 – 10 minutes. At no point was it painful, the local anaesthetic was only slightly uncomfortable and the ‘worst’ part as the anaesthetist told me it would be, but even that was really not a problem. The staff were all superb and after having the first one done I was looking forward to returning to Moorfields the following week for the 2nd eye. Can I have my third eye done too now?? Would have no problem going back and its far easier than the dentist. The results are unbelievable with distance and close up being really clear – the only problem is I can now see every bit of dirt in my house and how old I really look !! The yellow haze has now gone and I can drive really easily at night time in the rain with no more ‘splaying’ from headlights. I had no problems following either procedure and really can’t believe now just how bad my eyes had got.

Last Saturday, a month after the second eye, I spent 8 hours on a RHIB on the Thames as it was BSAC’s 70th Anniversary and along with 20 other RHIBS we delivered a cheque to the RNLI. I could clearly see every building and person along the length of the Thames from Erith to Embankment, going from Industrial to Historical and the Present. Amazing – no glasses, no contact lenses. Thank you so much to all involved. I have found a new freedom and feel really lucky to be living now so I could benefit from this wonderful technology.
