Thank you for the difference the operations have made to my life. The world is a brighter place - the colours I see now amaze me. I did not realize my eyes were so bad before. I will never forget how kind and reassuring you were.

A wonderful experience. Amazed at the colours and absolutely delighted with the outcome.  Mr Alwitry is a charming man and has a lovely manner - I would certainly recommend him to anyone thinking of having cataract surgery.

May I extend my sincere thanks to you for the benefit of your excellent skill, advice & guidance with my recent eye operation & for your exemplary patient interface. My eyes settled down quickly & I now have the vision I had long forgotten from over 50 years ago & am absolutely delighted with the results.

Covid-19 Update
During this unprecedented situation we are all struggling. I am desperate to do what I do best which is operating on patients and improving their vision. We can still undertake private cataract surgery on selected patients when the patient will suffer undue and avoidable harm by a delay to surgery. We will also face a massive backlog in NHS and private cataract procedures, and I will endeavour to launch into action as soon as I can do so safely. I am seeing some cataract patients to make sure that when we do start operating again we can sort their vision out as soon as possible. We have to balance up the theoretical risk of contracting Covid-19 with the real risk to vision in some patients, so I am still available to see patients with acute problems. Please make contact so we can advise. Please stay safe.
