I have today been given the amazing news that I’m medically cured from my case of Acanthameba.
I have been under the close care of Mr Bowes. From my first appointment to my last, 5 months later I have received nothing but amazing care and advice.

I am a nervous patient. On meeting Mr Bowes I was immediately relaxed, and this happy state continued throughout my treatment. The procedure was brief, and the outcome absolutely splendid. I am delighted to see true colours again !

I had cataracts removed from both eyes and lenses inserted.
I am truly delighted with both the manner in which I was treated,
and with the outcome re: my sight . I was extremely reassured by
knowing what would be happening to me,
The after-care was also excellent.
Thank you , Mr Bowes

Mr Bowes provided outstanding care for my successful cataract operations. He has a wonderful manner; and he explains complex issues in simple to understand terms, and therefore provided full confidence to me before my operations. It is easy to recommend Mr Bowes.
