Mr Oliver Bowes was excellent in caring for my mum. My mum is 83 and has not been able to see out of her eye for the past two years, due to not being able to go to hospital due to Covid and also King George Hospital refusing to carry out the operation due to my mums age and the density of the cataract.
Mr Bowes explained to my mum and I that the operation might not be a success due the the type of cataract and some other complications. He reassured my mum that he would try his best.
My mum decided to go ahead with the operation and I am pleased to say that it was a total success - Mr Bowes told us that it was the worst cataract operation he had done. My mum put her trust in Mr Bowes and how happy she is now that she can see out of her eye.
I would like to say thank you to Mr Bowes and his team for taking such good care of my mum.

I had cataracts removed from both eyes, a month apart. Mr Bowes answered all my questions completely, both pre & post, ops.
I had total confidence in him and my eyesight results are excellent. The procedures were totally painless and within 24 hours my eyesight had improved dramatically with no irritation whatsoever.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.
