As the partner of a patient I can vouch for the life-changing effect of the DMEK operation which Mr Sian and his team performed on my husband last week. The effects of the rapid deterioration of his eyesight over the last few months were dramatic and unpleasant. He became much slower and more wary when moving around, which for a dedicated cyclist and walker is depressing, and was unable eventually to read to his grandchildren despite large size print and a magnifying glass. Newspapers became unintelligible quite early on and so eventually did any text on the television or iPad. This was demoralising and we were therefore very grateful when Mr Sian so quickly arranged to operate on the weaker eye. Immediately the dressing was removed after the operation it was obvious that the treatment had worked beyond our expectations and my husband is quickly regaining his independence and joie de vivre. We are very grateful to Mr Sian, and to Musgrove Park Hospital for offering such state-of-the-art surgery locally. As the ageing partner of an older patient (and most people with this condition are elderly) I could not have coped with driving him in to Bristol or London for treatment, and I don’t imagine that even longer car journeys are desirable after treatment like this. Our friends both here in Somerset and in London are very impressed that Musgrove Park Hospital is offering such sophisticated surgery.
