I am absolutely amazed at the clarity and quality of vision that you have given back to me. Thanks to your relaxed, caring and calm manner, I was totally at ease throughout the morning. Your team were also brilliant, showing great care, compassion and a lovely sense of humour. I cannot thank you enough.

I'm one of Mr Alwitry's very satisfied patients and although my cataract operations were a few months ago now; I can honestly tell you that everyday when I get up I think of Mr Alwitry's skills and artistry in making it possible for me to see so well.
