The following feedback has been shared by Misha Badial's patients:
"I just wanted to write to thank you for the cataract and lens replacement surgery you carried out on both of my eyes.
Although I was never sure what the outcome might be, the results have been way beyond anything I could have imagined. For the first time in many years I am not reliant on glasses and, in fact, have stopped using them altogether.
I understand I need to be patient as my eyes recover, but the results so far are spectacular. Funnily enough, it is in my day-to-day life where I notice it most. The ability to be able to clearly see the dashboard of my car or read a menu or even read a text sent by one of my daughters. The difference is fantastic.
And may I also thank you personally for making the entire process so comfortable and free of stress. Your kindness and your professionalism were outstanding and I really appreciate everything you have done for me. In very real terms, you have transformed my sight and, in so doing, have transformed my quality of life. Thank you so much." Paul
"I certainly chose the best ophthalmic surgeon! You looked after me with such care and professionalism. I felt totally reassured from my first consultation with you that I was in good hands.
You explained the cataract operation and the options available so clearly. I felt confident that your recommendation for the one distance and one near vision lenses was the right decision.
Thanks to you and your wonderful team, Lizzie, Maggie and Wing, the surgery was painless and lasted a remarkably short time. It really is an amazing operation.
I feel very fortunate that I was able to have the operation without delay. You very kindly gave me immediate appointments. I am so delighted with the results.
To be able to see to drive and read without wearing lenses or glasses is excellent.
A huge thank you to and your tam, including Dawn who checked my sight and Hattie who looed after me when I arrived for the operations and afterwards, for your exceptional care and kindness." Susan
I cannot express the depth of appreciation I now hold for Misha, yourself and the whole team. The treatment I have received is extraordinary and the outcome has exceeded my wildest expectations.
In my business life, I have found personal recommendation easily the best means for spreading the word about what can be done and I would like to give Misha a testimonial to be used if it would help folk find the excellence of her skills and abilities. Here goes!
“I am 72 years of age, have worn prescription glasses for 65 years and have meaningful sight in just one eye. Recently, my optician discovered a cataract developing in my good eye and suggested surgery. Through recommendations from friends, I was directed to Mrs Misha Badial. The treatment that ensued has been truly remarkable. Misha’s empathy and kindness towards my understandable anxiety was astounding; she put me completely at ease and performed the lens replacement procedure faultlessly. There was absolutely no pain or discomfort, and the result is way beyond my expectations. Within 24 hours, I could see well, and now, a week later, my vision is the best it has been in my entire life. It is no exaggeration to say that Misha and her team have changed my life. From the heart - thank you.” Malcolm
