I have recently had two procedures to remove cataracts with local anaesthetics and found both experiences good and painfree. The care I was given was exemplary with everything being explained and agreed with me. Miss Abeysiri put me at ease and provided excellent aftercare and follow up information answering all the questions I had. I am happy to give the best recommendation for her work.

I have the utmost respect for Miss Abeysiri, she is incredibly skilled. She is also very polite and kind. Miss Abeysiri has performed trabeculectomy surgery on both of my eyes, I trust her implicitly.
I am seen by Miss Abeysiri in an extremely busy NHS clinic and although I have hearing difficulties she has always been very understanding and makes sure that I have understood her.

Miss Poorna Abeysiri prior to me going to theatre, was very polite & pleasant. Made me feel relaxed, took onboard my other health issues concerning Gall bladder & Kidney stones, reassured me that my eye drops would change. In theatre she checked with me what was to be done was correct & the reason why. She reassured me I was doing extremely well under the local anesthetic, explaining each stage of my Cyclodiode Laser operation as it progressed. At the end of the treatment an eye patch was covering my eye & was told to remove it later tonight or the next morning. I was very impressed.
Thank you and to the team.
I was back on the day ward awaiting my prescription, and awaiting my partner to arrive to drive me home.
A nurse walked with me to my partners car when she arrived, to ensure I was alright.
I thanked her.
