"When I realised I had cataracts in both eyes that needed surgery my main concern was to find an outstanding surgeon. Mr Saleh has been excellent in every way. He clearly explained the challenges of fixing my extremely long sighted eyes and the outcome he hoped to deliver. The surgery on both occasions went superbly well. Post surgery my eyes were comfortable, no analgesics needed. Since then the clarity has improved and I am delighted with the result. At all times Mr Saleh & his team were kind, courteous and efficient."

"I had lens replacement surgery - after a lifetime of poor vision my prescription were always very high +8 which meant heavy lenses and not being able to see without my glasses and contact lenses were becoming a problem due to dry eyes. So I did my research and found George Saleh who said he could help. The surgery has been hugely successful I need glasses for distance -1.75. I am delighted and cannot express my gratitude enough this has changed my life. And he such a nice man - I needed lots of reassurance because I was scared and he gave it"
