“Having an eye problem can often be stressful and worrying. My aim is to put you at ease whilst helping you through your eye care journey. I will make sure you fully understand the problem and feel as relaxed as possible during discussions and any required treatment. Finally, you can rest assured I will only ever recommend treatment when I feel it is a good solution for you.“
