About: Essex County Hospital / Ophthalmology

I had my second Caterach operation on the 4th February 2019 the first one being done in October 2018 .Am delighted with not only the results but with the amazing care and warmth from all the staff that looked after me . From the Receptionist who greeted me to the Surgeon who did the operation and the nursing staff who looked after me inbetween I have to give the highest praise to them all .The operation was painless with a lovely nurse holding my hand the whole time an my surgeon talking to me and reassuring me at all times making sure I was happy and comfortable.When it was all done a my nurse held my arm and took me back to the main area to be with my husband and we were offered tea and biscuits to relax with and await for another lovely nurse to go though the next stage of my recovery giving me my eye drops and all th e information I required .Then left to relax until I was ready for my husband to take me home .I cannot thank everyone in the whole department enough for the wonderful way you all took care of me .And within a few days of the operation I have already received the appointment for my follow up examination in March .Thank you all .
