I had two very successful cataracts operations, and found Mr Bowes very helpful at all times and he gave me great vision, as I had been short sighted since the age of 14. I strongly recommend him as a surgeon and ophthalmologist. He also helped me how to deal with blepharitis and dry eyes.

I had a Cateract operation performed by Mr Oliver Bowes and from the first consultation through to my final check after the operation I felt at ease with his friendly and professional manner. I was apprehensive to be honest about the procedure however the whole experience from start to finish I thought was very well organised and all other staff were very friendly and made you feel comfortable and more relaxed. I am due to have the cateract in my other eye removed as soon as possible and have no worries regarding this.

Nothing was to much- Dr Bowes was on holiday and contacted me and left a prescription wand really reassured me.
