Immediately after cataract surgery Shirley Davis noticed a huge difference in her sight – the grass was greener and everything was bright, clear and sharp.

Fed up with needing his glasses adjusted and frequently replaced and also tired of losing and constantly cleaning them, John Hobbins decided to have cataract surgery on both eyes and to have special multi focal lenses fitted at the same time.

Sight in her left eye had deteriorated so badly and so rapidly that Susan Pinks was considering giving up driving. She was also starting to struggle to take part in dressage competitions with her horse.

Having needed contact lenses and glasses for more than 25 years Vicky Mason is thrilled that her cataract surgery means she no longer needs them.
