  • I can not thank Fadi enough for his time and care shown towards me during the treatment I required. From day one , he showed nothing but kindness and understanding. My whole treatment plan was clear and Fadi always took the time to talk through my progress and the next steps.

  • I had lens replacement surgery one week ago with Fadi Kherdaji. The process was extremely smooth. The surgery itself was painless and the care I received was first class. During the operation they asked me for any music requests, I chose “Billy Joel”, by the time we were 4 songs in the whole thing was over. Amazing. On my 5 day check up I think we were all surprised at how well my eyes had healed and how I could read whatever he put in front of me. It exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Fadi enough. If you’re feeling nervous he will put you at ease with his friendly manner. Lastly I cannot forget Lian, his PA, who I am sure is responsible for making the whole process run as smoothly as it does and was so helpful on my short but very enjoyable journey. To sum up, don’t think about it anymore just do it, it really will change your life (and your features as you don’t have to squint).

  • Dr Kherdaji was fantastic from my first appointment to my operation and follow up consultation. I felt in good hands. Lian his PA was so friendly and helpful throughout. I wish I had done it years ago, I had both eyes done together with no pain at all and great results.
