Mr Ayoub explained the whole process and subsequent outcome very thoroughly and answered any questions and concerns in detail. The surgery was on both eyes and the treatment was painless and took little time. All in all I felt I was in good hands all through the consultations and surgery and am very happy with the outcome. Thank you.

Mr Oliver Bowes has a very caring attitude to his patients and takes time to explain the procedure and what it will achieve

A brilliant doctor - lucky to be seen by someone so competent and with such an excellent bedside manner, Thank you

Mr Sid Goel gave excellent care throughout seeing him, he has excellent bed side manner also, and explains the facts, procedures, pro's and con's when you see him.

I was recommended by a friend who had the same Bilateral refractive lens replacement with Trifocal lenses that I was looking for and I am so pleased I followed that advice. Everything was explained to a super in depth degree, including videos of the actual procedure so I was fully aware of what to expect. The aftercare and follow ups were excellent and I was left in no doubt that, had there been any issues, which there weren't, everything would be managed which gave me piece of mind in making my choice of surgeon. Our eyes are so precious, it's important that you fully understand everything and you have the utmost faith in the professionals you choose. My only regret is that a phaffed around and didn't get it done years ago!

Very good.

Very professional, very clear explanations

Mr Coombes had been thorough & professional until it came to my cataract operation on March 8. During the first 3-4 minutes I felt a searing pain which' subsided under the local anesthesia. However the pain increased as the anesthetic wore off and by the time I reached home and all through the night it was agony. I tried phoning the emergency mobile number. It was out of service. Ordinary painkillers were useless for 2 days. On my follow up March21st I reported the pain as excruciating and Mr C dismissively quoted the statistical unlikelihood of such an eventuality. He did however note that my vision had not improved much and prescribed (steroid) drops. On the next follow up 22nd April, Mr Coombes apologised for the pain but I still don't have an adequate explanation. He said I had a corneal oedema. I mentioned I had an appointment for Prof Walcott and he said he had intended to refer me to the same anyway. I am now under treatment with prof W concentrating on improving my vision. I understand that operations can go wrong and I signed an acknowledgement of this possibility. But it would have reduced the anxiety and suffering if the surgeon had accepted the validity of my experience and if he had owned and better described the reasons for the pain. A viable contact number after the operation would have helped!!

My eyelids had become very droopy, pushing down on my lashes. I just wanted a very subtle lift, nothing drastic. I've always had a fold and wanted that to remain, just not the droop. I was very repetitive and clear. The AI modeling that was done at consultation turned out to be filters, there was no ability to then tailor to the person, and I don't look like that anyway so perhaps I'm missing the point. I'm now almost 7 weeks out and my deepest fear has come true. There is almost no fold left to speak of, the scars are so high that they're very visible. My lids are now extremely prominent with minimal skin folding over. I can fully close my eyes, so functionally everything works at least. But aesthetically this was my worst-case outcome and the reason I waited so long to have the surgery in the first place. I've since met with a top eyelid reconstruction surgeon in the US (granted, at 4 weeks and he did say at that point there was still swelling). But even then, he said my scars were "crazy high", and looking at 'before' photos, that the amount removed was "aggressive". I don't look like myself, and in several months will need to undergo expensive reconstruction surgery. I have refused to engage with this surgeon anymore though he keeps asking me to come in, as he repeatedly tells me he didn't take off much (I can look in the mirror and see every day that's not true), and I see no point as I do not trust him. The scars aren't 'hidden in the crease', they're way above them and very visible even with the tons of concealer and fake glasses I now wear. The entire shape of my eyes has now changed, it isn't a subtle removal. I think it's clear that I'm extremely upset with this entire experience.

Very caring
