Romesh is one of the best Cataract and Refractive surgeons I have had the pleasure to know. He has been the lead for corneal fellow training for many years at Moorfields Eye Hospital London, which is how I came to meet him. He is well read and is very caring to his patients. He is an excellent surgeon and has access to some of the most technically advanced equipment for vision correction.
