I had two Cataract operations in February 2022 under the care of Mr Bowes, I found him to be extremely professional with a relaxed approach. Mr Bowes explained the full details of the Cataract surgery to me in the initial consultation appointment. I was then able to make an informed decision to go ahead with the operations as soon as possible.
I had an eye test at the optician's on the 14 April 2022, the Optician confirmed that
Mr Bowes had done an 'excellent job' of removing both cataracts. I am delighted to say with the help of new glasses my eyesight has improved to just below 20/20 vision.
I sincerely thank Mr Bowes for the excellent care I received and for his attention to every detail and I would definitely recommend him to family and friends if they needed to consult any eye specialist.

Mr Bowes performed 2 cataract operations on my father who is in his 80's. My father, who is hard of hearing was nervous about the process. Mr Bowes took time to explain all aspects and options slowly and clearly which was a great help to not only my father but myself who he allowed to accompany my father.
Since the operations my father has found a remarkable change in his quality of life which is all down to Mr Bowes.
Thank you from us both.
