I had considered blepharoplasty for some time due to hooded eyelids. I had always previously ruled out elective surgery but due to the ageing process (I’m 48) I decided to have consultations at two reputable clinics, Clinica London being one. I was drawn to Miss Olver over the other clinic because she instilled confidence and understood entirely my objective - which was to look natural. Miss Olver carefully explained the process to me and managed my expectations in terms of recovery. That enabled me to plan for the surgery knowing how long I’d basically need to work from home and go to ground for. I had the operation a few months after my first consultation. On the day of surgery, I had a consultation with Miss Olver and had chance to discuss any concerns and ask questions. The whole experience felt very calm and Miss Olver and all the nursing staff were caring and attentive. I felt very looked after despite my obvious nervousness about how I’d look and feel afterwards. The surgery itself took around one hour. I was awake and kept informed throughout. The worst part was the anaesthetic but even that wasn’t so bad. I felt no pain during the surgery. Afterwards I felt very numb and had difficulty fully closing my eyes for a couple of hours until the anaesthetic wore off. I rested in a room for an hour and was cared for until my friend arrived to take me home. My eyes felt sore and watery for the first couple of days and I’d definitely advise anyone having the surgery to not work for a couple of days afterwards to avoid eye strain. I also found wearing sunglasses indoors helped. I followed to the letter the after care pack provided to me however and was encouraged to go for a walk each day. The recovery went as advised with the bruising getting gradually worse and peaking at around day 6. I have fair skin and the bruising lasted for around 3 weeks but it improved a lot after around 11 days and was largely coverable with makeup. The bruising was also localised to the eye area meaning sunglasses covered everything and no one gave me a second look when I ventured outside or to the shops. Within a month all the residual bruising had gone and the swelling under and around the eyes had also subsided. I had only told two friends and both on seeing me a month post surgery said they would never have suspected I’d had eye surgery. Instead they said I looked like I’d had a “really good nights sleep” and skin smoothing treatment. Other friends and colleagues who’ve seen me and have no idea I had surgery have told me how incredibly well I look. I was dreading going back to the office but on doing so no one suspected a thing and asked if I’d been on holiday. I’d recommend Miss Olver without hesitation and am absolutely happy with the results of my surgery. I’ve had two consultations post surgery and 7 weeks on, know she is on hand should any issues arise.

Excellent.

In depth assessment. Full explanation. Very professional manner. Very pleased with result. Highly recommend.

Andrew is very thorough and always wants to help get the best results for his clients. He takes the time to explain all the details, and talks through all the options available to help treat glaucoma. He hasn't been able to produce a new bionic eye for me yet or replace the damaged optic nerve, but apparently that science is still a few years off! :-) In terms of providing the best care and advice available Andrew is definitely up there.

Professor Foster put me at ease for my appointment and put my mind at rest.

Mr Nicholson confirmed that my current eye condition is as described by NHS ophthalmologist.

I saw Nigel Burnett Hodd for many years until he retired. Mr Tam has taken over seamlessly.

Excellent consultation based on extensive experience. Our input and questions were well heard and addressed.

My father was experiencing visual disturbance and was extremely worried. Stacey Strong was very reassuring, thorough and was able to swiftly identify that my father had the beginnings of a macular hole. She was able to explain what the next steps would be, which would involve an operation, and followed up with us afterwards to ensure my father was recovering well. I would have no hesitation recommending Stacey to anyone experiencing an eye issue.

Dr Qureshi is such a gem and such a huge inspiration. He listens to everything and offers amazing advice
