- First class, excellent treatment all around. The team is very friendly, I’m managing very well without distance or near glasses and I don’t need glaucoma drops anymore after my cataract and stent surgery. Highly recommended
- Mr Elsahn provided excellent advice and care keeping me informed at all stages of the procedure. I am very pleased with my cataract and iStent surgery, would highly recommend.
- From the initial consultation to post operation examination the process was impecable.Every element of the procedure was explained perfectly.
- Overall experience excellent
- I consulted Mr Ahmad Elsahn for support following a closed angle glaucoma. He recommended iStent surgery and immediately identified a future risk to the other eye, which was to be rectified with a replacement lens. My case was complex, but my fears were allayed by Mr Elsahn's calm and undaunted approach. The results of my single-event bilateral surgery have been astounding and I can unequivocally recommend Mr Elsahn to others.
- Having worn contact lenses for 53 years and now with cataracts , I decided to have laser eye surgery on receipt of vast knowledge and assurance from my eye surgeon. On his advice, I opted for multifocal lenses. For the first time since I was 12 years old, I can now see distance and close to without glasses or lenses which I find quite remarkable. The process itself for both eyes was quick and painless and achieved fantastic results.
- Mr Elsahn has been brilliant throughout my PRK surgery, providing truly top-quality care. His expertise and reassurance made a huge difference to my confidence and overall experience. Thank you, I really am incredibly grateful. This surgery has truly been life changing.
- It was unfortunate that the specialist “scanner” was broken causing an element of “chasing around” to get the scan done, my eye was particularly bad with a Kerato conus at 8+, but the surgeon was fantastic, I went from very blurry eyesight to 20/20 vision, he was also very gentle
- Excellent service, great advice, genuine care. Thank you so much.
- Mr Elsahn and the team provided a very professional, caring and sympathetic approach to my cataract procedure. As a rather nervous patient, this was very important to my general approach to the procedure.
