In September 2020 my optician referred me for cataract surgery to the RVI infirmary. My sight in my left eye was virtually nil. In March 2021 I contacted the RVI to see where I was on the waiting list to be told that the waiting time was 52 weeks plus. I felt my only option was to opt for private treatment. I telephoned the Nuffield hospital and after reading reviews chose Mr Ayad Shafiq. I had a consultation with Mr Shafiq where he explained that a toric lens was the best treatment for my astigmatism. He informed me of the cost and procedure and I went home to consider my options. The following day I telephoned his secretary to arrange surgery. When the day arrived I was admitted to the Nuffield (terrified) I had no reason to be afraid. Mr Shafiq put me at ease. The operation was totally pain free and I went home shortly afterwards. I awoke the next day to crystal clear vision. No pain, no discomfort. I have since had cataract surgery to my right eye and again no pain or discomfort. Prior surgery I wore varifocal glasses constantly. Since surgery I only need glasses for reading. My long vision is amazing. I can't thank Mr Shafiq enough.
