I was totally freaked out at the thought of my first cataract operation, but Mr Islam and his team at The Holly could not have been more reassuring, kind and professional in helping this panicking NHS patient through to a successful outcome for renewed sight. Much respect.

I saw Mr. Niaz Islam who treated both my eyes due to Stigmatism & other problems. I cannot express the overall kindness & reassurance he gave me in explaining everything in detail for my procedure. After having my procedure for both eyes I cannot express the excellent work carried out. Both my eyes were in better condition than before & was able to see better & no longer needed glasses to wear. I would like to express once again the excellent work carried out & the detailed information given to me prior to the procedure. He is always a phone call away when in need too. Well done Mr. Niaz Islam
