Strongly Recommended for Lens Replacement and Cataract Surgery

I strongly recommend Dr. van Zyl for any type of IOL replacement or cataract surgery. I had the bilateral (both eyes at the same time) IOL replacement in June 2019 and I was able to see immediately after the operation with no pain or any type of complications whatsoever. My eyes healed very quickly and I only wore the patches for the first few nights to avoid accidental touching. I started working from home within a couple of days but did not risk going back to work, to minimise risk of infection from others. I previously had very poor eye sight and this had a negative impact on my lifestyle as I was totally and at all times dependent on prescription glasses even when watching TV or taking a shower. I chose the Extended Depth of Focus lenses, with identical outcome for both eyes. I did not opt for the blended vision as I am still quite active and play sports such as Tennis which requires good perception of depth/distance of the ball. Dr. van Zyl is very knowledgeable, approachable, and was extremely patient with me despite my repeated questions and reservations about the surgery at first. A big thank you.
