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!!

I felt confident in Professor Khawaja’s care at all times. He is very kind and professional at the same time. He explains all the surgery options in a way that is easy to understand and doesn’t mind you asking questions. Both cataract ops went smoothly and my eyes are settling very well. I would definitely recommend seeing Prof. Khawaja.

My previous eye drops for glaucoma were causing a chronic reaction in my eyes. I was referred to Dr. Hari Jayaram who immediately diagnosed the problem and has put me on an alternative treatment which has improved the situation greatly. A very professional and knowledgeable service from Dr. Jayaram.

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.

Very helpful and reassuring visit

Mr Elgohary was very clear .He explained the procedures very well and was very empathetic and reassuring.

Kind and attentive. Good listener and took the time to explain and answer queries.

I had Refractive Lens Exchange Surgery on 7/5/24 , carried out by Miss Sharmina Khan. This surgery has been life changing, as the difference it has made to my quality of life already has been incredible - no longer do I have to put on glasses as soon as I get out of bed each morning! I would recommend Miss Khan without hesitation as the care I have been receiving has been outstanding at all times , particularly supportive when helping me with my anxieties before and during the surgery.

Friendly and informative. Clear about his recommendation and the reasons why.

Excellent service and explanation
