I'm a very nervous patient when it comes to my eyes. It's difficult for me to even sit through an annual eye exam at the opticians. I knew I had to have cataracts removed and researched private surgeons. I also wanted to discuss what lens would be best for me. I'm 72, but very active. Miss Abeysiri listened to me, we discussed which lens would be best. She assured me that I would be sedated during the procedure. The opereration was explained as was the aftercare and what I needed to do as the patient. I had my surgery on 28th Sept 2023 and am thrilled with the result. I have booked Miss Abeysiri to have my other cataract removed in a couple of weeks time. I wholeheartley and unreservedly recommend Miss Abeysiri, and I thank her for her wonderful care.

I have been under Miss Abeysiri care for over 20 years,and have trusted her all the way with the various eye operations and procedures she has preformed for me. I always feel she listens to me when I tell her what I think is going on with my eyes. I get regular check up every 3 to 4 months, and am well looked after by her and have total confidence in her.

I have been a patient for over a decade. First met her when she operated on my eye. She explained everything in detail and i felt very relaxed about the procedure. Since then she has always treated me in a profesional and friendly manor. And invariably asks how my wife is when she is not with me. She was particularly vigilant during covid.
