Mr Saeed has been amazing! I have been treated so well by everyone during the treatment I have had. My vision now is as good as I could hope for at this stage of life. Though there were complications along the way mr Saeed was positive of a good outcome all the time and we are now there! The man is genius! Thank you. Glenda C.
I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Saeed. I had cataract surgery in both eyes, a month apart and the whole process from initial consultation to follow up appointments was excellent.

Thank you for your comments
I recently underwent lens replacement surgery with Dr. Saeed, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was recommended this procedure because I was tired of relying on glasses for both near and distance vision, it felt like my eyesight was just getting worse over time. Dr. Saeed and his team were incredibly professional and reassuring throughout the whole process, and now I’m thrilled to say I no longer need glasses at all. It’s been a life changer, and I’m genuinely grateful for his expertise and care.

Thanks for your comments. It’s been a pleasure looking after you and being able to meet your expectations.
An absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish. Everything was explained by all the staff who dealt with me. No more glasses for me following bilateral intraocular lens replacement.

I’m glad to hear we achieved the desired outcome. Thank you for your feedback.
All visits were punctual and efficient and I felt informed through the whole process
Mr Saeed was extremely thorough, talked me through all the issues I had with my eyes, answered questions and gave sound advice. I had my cataracts done by him and before the surgery he talked me through my options in terms of what lenses to get implanted. The most common lens used is a mono-focal which corrects myopia but leaves most patients needing reading glasses. I said I wanted my near vision to be good and didn’t want reading glasses but didn’t mind slight myopia (my original prescription was very high -7.5 and -8). He listened and took this on board. I also had bad astigmatism so he suggested getting a Toric lens. I had my second eye done just 5 days after the first one and both eyes settled down quickly and I feel like I have new eyes now. I am really glad I decided to get the surgery done by him: he doesn’t give the impression of doing assembly line type procedures but really takes time to consider each case properly and LISTEN to the patient. He is very calm and super professional.

Thank you for your comments. Successful outcome in treatments is a mutual process whereby it’s important to get the expectations right. I appreciate your understanding of the right options you were presented with. Well done!
His professionalism put me at my ease immediately since only having one eye.
He was kind and explained everything he was going to do .His aftercare was excellent.

Thanks for your feedback. It’s been a pleasure to look after you.
Excellent procedure and I would throughly recommend his professionalism.

Thank you for your comments
I can thoroughly recommend Mr Saeed and his team as the standard of care and treatment is of the highest order and is extremely professional and caring. Until I had surgery one of my cataracts in particular had got so bad that it was affecting my quality of life and I was getting severe vision related nausea and headaches. Having worn glasses and contacts since late teens with a prescription for a high level of myopia, my vision is now 20/20 with balanced vision between both eyes - it has made such a difference and I am extremely grateful for what Mr Saeed has done for me.

I’m delighted to hear the outcome of treatment has met your expectations. Thank you for your comments.
