- Huge thanks to everyone in the Haymarket office, including Danielle, Georgina and surgeon Huba Kiss - lens replacement surgery done in both eyes 24 and 31 July 2026, and now lifelong short-sightedness - and the cataracts - are gone, with glasses not needed at all. In particular, great care and time were taken in the preceding weeks to get the prescription right for each eye. Big thanks too to the Glasgow office where the surgery itself took place.
- Overall a great experience from start to finish in Glasgow SVS. Owen is a star member of the team and my Surgeon Huba was fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone considering surgery.
- I first visited Opticial Express Belfast in August 2025. I had alot of questions & concerns but the staff answered them all & reassured me. I had Lens Replacement Surgery in November 2025 & it truly was life changing. The after care I received was first class & I can't fault anyone from the Receptionist to my surgeon Dr Huba Kiss. I would recommend Opticial Express Express
- I had my surgery at the Haymarket practice in April this year, I chose it over Glasgow due to the location of the rail station. The staff are all very friendly and professional. I knew I was in good hands as soon as I met my surgeon Dr Kiss, I immediately felt comfortable and confident. I took a long time to decide to have lens replacement and I'm happy to say I wish I'd done it years ago. It really has changed my life for the better.
- From the moment I arrived for my consultation right through to the procedure, the staff were so friendly and made me feel very relaxed. I cannot fault the service and I would recommend them to anyone. A special thank you to Jenny who looked after me and to Dr Huba Kiss who carried out my procedure.
- Absolutely first class professional service from Optical Express from initial scanning, tests, surgery by Mr Huba Kiss and his team, and aftercare. Excellent result for cataract removal and lens replacement. Would highly recommend.
- What a fantastic experience with this lovely chap. He really gave me great care. I was extremely nervous beforehand, however he settled me down. Thank you Dr Kiss!!
