Terrible,
costly
and
unprofessional.Having
been
advised
that
I
needed
cataract
lens
replacement
surgery,
and
looking
online,
I
was
amazingly
contacted
by
Optical
Express
after
clicking
on
their
website.
After
a
short
telephone
conversation
I
was
quoted
£7990
for
the
surgery.
I
was
then
offered
a
consultation
in
Liverpool
and
a
surgery
date
of
Easter
Monday
for
the
surgery.
Obviously,
living
on
the
Isle
of
Man,
air
travel
and
hotels
have
to
be
sourced.
Having
attended
the
Liverpool
consultation,
which
went
well,
I
returned
to
the
IoM,
booked
the
Easter
break
of
work
and
awaited
the
telephone
consultation
with
the
ophthalmic
consultant
Mr
Desai.
This
consultation
was
meant
to
be
on
the
4th
April
but
never
occurred,
I
then
received
a
phone
call
stating
that
my
surgery
was
cancelled.
However
I
was
asked
if
I
would
like
to
meet
the
consultant
anyway.
Do
these
idiots
not
realise
that
the
IoM
is
in
the
Irish
Sea,
if
I
want
to
speak
to
a
consultant
I
can
do
it
here.
What
I
naively
expected
was
the
surgery
to
be
carried
out
as
Optical
Express
had
arranged,not
to
be
cancelled
3
days
before
scheduled.
This
whole
sorry
saga
has
cost
me
£1000
plus.
What
an
incredibly
amateur
organisation.
