Lovely gift and card from a recent patient who had cataract surgery with Puresee extended depth of focus astigmatism correcting lens implants to reduce the need for glasses after surgery.

Email from a patient who had Puresee premium intraocular lens cataract surgery yesterday. I worked with her for many years in theatres at Darlington Memorial Hospital. She had a high spectacle prescription with astigmatism and the other eye was lazy since childhood.

Some great feedback for the whole team!⭐

Image description: A light blue background with grey text reading “My 87 year old mum has just had a cataract operation at the Woodlands. I would just like to say the care she received from every member of staff was second to non. She was looked after by every single person she came into contact with. The hospital is clean, efficient and very welcoming. Every member of staff has a caring smile all of the time. It's a shame all hospitals can be like this. Again thank you Mr Stirling and every member of his team.” There are 5 yellow stars below.
