Professor Biswas is so thorough and reassuring. He is lovely with my daughter, he listens carefully to her concerns and symptoms. He is incredibly knowledgeable as you would expect but has a calm, friendly and positive demeanour. Would highly recommend him.

My children have gained from Professor Biswas’s experience, wisdom and thoroughness for over five years. He continued with regular appointments over covid and that made a real and lasting difference to their eyesight. We’re enormously grateful to him for improving their eyesight - I couldn’t recommend him more. I only wish I’d found him sooner.
