Clear explanation of the procedure and consequences. Sight much clearer now, much more than expected as gradual deterioration over four years was not perceived to be as great as it in fact was.

I have been so impressed with Mr Horgan. He made me feel like he was really invested in improving my condition and really supported me on my healthcare journey that extended way beyond my eye condition. He puts you at ease immediately and creates the perfect balance of showing empathy whilst focusing on examination and treatment. I’ve told many people about how impressed I have been with him and wouldn’t hesitate at all with seeing him again or recommending him to anyone. I’m hugely grateful to have met him and really appreciate his guidance and advice.
