A few words from Mr Simcock…
“Undergoing eye treatments can be a daunting experience. I will provide clear and detailed explanations of the options available and take time to establish the most appropriate treatment for you. My priority for cataract surgery is to provide the most suitable lens implant for your individual needs and correct astigmatism if required and give you appropriate options for reducing dependence on glasses.”
