Excellent patient care

If you are looking for an ophthalmologist for a cataract look no further - Ms Richardson is the one. I thank my lucky stars for the day I found her. She is simply the best: absolutely delightful, friendly, human, engaging, knowledgeable, caring, reassuring, listens to one and notes down everything one says. She is also an expert clinician having carried out over 25,000 cataract procedures alone. Ms Richardson explains the whole procedure clearly and simply and presents all the options available for the surgery and the new lens and guided me calmly, wisely, sensitively and sensibly throughout the whole process. Successful surgery, great vision and the best ophthalmologist in the world- what more can one want?!

Patient and time to explain, Found the surgery painless and quick

Mr Mitry took the time to listen and address all my concerns. He gave me options and he was supportive in helping me choose the best route for me.

Mr Zambarakji was very informative about my procedure understood my apprehension and explained that he could give me sedation. He was very friendly and calming at the actual procedure.

Dr Ho has been extremely thorough and detailed throughout the whole process of my retinal detachment surgery. At all my appointments everything was explained to me clearly so I knew exactly what was happening and also he would always ask if I was comfortable with all that was going to be taking place. Dr Ho is very attentive to his patients needs and I am very grateful for all he has done for me. Not many Dr take the time out for their patients, but Dr Ho does and I would highly recommend him to all. Five start treatment.

My eyelids had become very droopy, pushing down on my lashes. I just wanted a very subtle lift, nothing drastic. I've always had a fold and wanted that to remain, just not the droop. I was very repetitive and clear. The AI modeling that was done at consultation turned out to be filters, there was no ability to then tailor to the person, and I don't look like that anyway so perhaps I'm missing the point. I'm now almost 7 weeks out and my deepest fear has come true. There is almost no fold left to speak of, the scars are so high that they're very visible. My lids are now extremely prominent with minimal skin folding over. I can fully close my eyes, so functionally everything works at least. But aesthetically this was my worst-case outcome and the reason I waited so long to have the surgery in the first place. I've since met with a top eyelid reconstruction surgeon in the US (granted, at 4 weeks and he did say at that point there was still swelling). But even then, he said my scars were "crazy high", and looking at 'before' photos, that the amount removed was "aggressive". I don't look like myself, and in several months will need to undergo expensive reconstruction surgery. I have refused to engage with this surgeon anymore though he keeps asking me to come in, as he repeatedly tells me he didn't take off much (I can look in the mirror and see every day that's not true), and I see no point as I do not trust him. The scars aren't 'hidden in the crease', they're way above them and very visible even with the tons of concealer and fake glasses I now wear. The entire shape of my eyes has now changed, it isn't a subtle removal. I think it's clear that I'm extremely upset with this entire experience.

Gives you confidence and reassurance at every interaction and meeting. As this was my first surgery, this was extremely beneficial for me and I knew I was in the best care with Ms Anikina. All experiences of surgery were exactly as described

Very professional and informative

I am extremely grateful to Mr Islam for the remarkable care he has given to me over the last 2 years and continues to. He has exceptional knowledge of not only his specialism but with everything to do with the eyes. He always goes above and beyond to care for and help me. Thank you for everything.
