Reviews
I was very appreciative about having surgery on my eyes, but had a lot of pain and discomfort and my vision had become very blurred. Mr Bowes with expertise and skill has given me back my eye sight and I am no longer in pain.He explained in detail the operation to me and assured me that the outcome would be better than the eyesight that I had. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and know that if I need any other surgery on my eyes I will be in safe hands.
Cordial and professional
Thanks Mr Bowes
Mr.Bowes gave the upmost attention and was able to assure and explain to myself of any issues that could or might arise during or after my cataract surgery.
