I have received surgery on both my eyes over the past few years, one for a retinal detachment, followed later by a cataract, and the other eye, a straightforward cataract operation. Throughout these operations Mr Yang has always acted with complete professionalism. I now have much improved sight in both eyes, which has revolutionised my quality of life, and this is entirely the result of his skill.
