"Very pleased with cataract sugery at Wharfedale Hospital"

About: Wharfedale Hospital / Ophthalmology

(as the patient),

I am a 46 year old male who was told "you're young to have cataracts". Well that aside, my exprience with the surgery was first class. I had to have both eyes done.

I would like to thank Mr James Ball and his team for their help. I was quite frightened about it all but they put me at easy.

The results are brillant. At the moment I do not need my glasses and more vision is exellent.

The only thing i think could help other patients is to dispel the chat that frightened several old ladies who were waiting for their first op when i was having my second eye done. Their friends had told them of a great big needle that would hurt so much! I soon put them straight and the lady who went down first came back with a big smile on her face and did go on to sign up for her second eye doing.

Anyway thats me now with great vision. Thanks again Mr Ball!

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience on patient opinion. I am really pleased to hear that your operation was a success.

I shall make sure your compliments are passed on to Mr Ball and his team at the hospital.

Thank you once again.
