After many visits to hospital, it was good to get a diagnosis and also prompt treatment
Due to long waiting times arising from the Covid pandemic, I transfered to a self-funded private option with Mr Tailor at the Manor for my second glaucoma/cataract procedure. Mr Tailor was attentive at all times and performed a very comfortable operation from which recovery was almost seemless. He was clear in what I needed to do and was unphased by unexpected glitches at the Manor (electricity outage).
My main concern was preventing any further sight degeneration from my Glaucoma, which was the catalyst for the lens replacement plus a KDB. Pressures in both eyes are now satisfactory. Financial limitations mean that I have now transfered back to NHS care under Mr Tailor and his excellent team.
I would heartily recommend Mr Tailor if you are looking for a private surgeon for cataracts or glaucoma procedures.

I have been seeing Mr Tailor at the Manor Hospital after attending his NHS clinc with glaucoma and myopia. I have found him to be very pleasant and approachable and have confidence in the high level of his clinical care.
I had been attending the clinic at the John Radcliffe for glaucoma/cataract but when Covid struck, and with my concerns about attending a busy clinic, I decided to see Mr Tailor at the Manor Nuffield. He has performed both cataract operations there, which have been highly successful, and I now only need glasses for reading. The glaucoma is an ongoing problem, however, but Mr Tailor has done everything he can to try to reduce the pressures. He is a very approachable man, always listening to my concerns, and is very reassuring.
Regrettably, due to financial restrictions, I am having to return to his clinic at the John Radcliffe, where he is arranging for me to have laser surgery on my left eye, and opening up the stent in the right eye, as I have grave reservations about having trabeculectomy.
