Testimonials
I am so excited about being able to see without my glasses, I’m like a kid in a candy store. I still can’t believe the difference it has made to me and I’m so grateful to Mr Morris and his team for their great service, I felt very well cared for throughout the process from first assessment through to the check one month after the surgery.
The Optegra experience was very professional and I was informed every step of the way what was happening. My consultant Mr Robert Morris was very reassuring throughout the operation and the operation was a great success. The clinic is very modern and clean and wonderful staff.
Two weeks after surgery and I’m absolutely delighted. The team at Optegra are wonderful, always helpful and professional. Everything was made to be as easy as possible. Mr Morris explained the procedure so clearly and gave me such confidence throughout
After scrabbling for glasses on waking every day since I was 4 years old I finally have freedom! First class care and facilities and highly recommended.
I feel that I have been re-born I can see again with perfect vision – colours are colours again – Wonderful!
