Mr. Horgan is never in a hurry. You are treated as a person and not an anonymous patient. He is exceptionally kind and personable and he quickly found a solution for my cataract surgery, for which the NHS had rejected me due to postural issues. From my first meeting, all my concerns were waylaid by his careful explanation of what to expect. I simply had no questions to ask him at any stage, as he’s worked for decades on cataracts and he and his team have also fine tuned the post operative procedures. It was a joy to be able to shower, bend over, resume life normally within 24-48 hours of having the procedure. Now, three weeks after the last operation I can see perfectly. In addition I have the Premium lenses which are not available on the NHS, but which mean I no longer need reading or distance glasses. I was not insured, but the overall price was manageable, given the offsetting of the costs of many pairs of new glasses. Mr Horgan calls you two days after your surgery. Then you have a follow up appointment three weeks later. The team at the Battersea Eye clinic are very professional and you are immediately given tea and sandwiches as soon as you’re ready for them after the procedure. In a strange way I shall miss being so cosseted! Full marks to everyone and I highly recommend the team.

I had considered blepharoplasty for some time due to hooded eyelids. I had always previously ruled out elective surgery but due to the ageing process (I’m 48) I decided to have consultations at two reputable clinics, Clinica London being one. I was drawn to Miss Olver over the other clinic because she instilled confidence and understood entirely my objective - which was to look natural. Miss Olver carefully explained the process to me and managed my expectations in terms of recovery. That enabled me to plan for the surgery knowing how long I’d basically need to work from home and go to ground for. I had the operation a few months after my first consultation. On the day of surgery, I had a consultation with Miss Olver and had chance to discuss any concerns and ask questions. The whole experience felt very calm and Miss Olver and all the nursing staff were caring and attentive. I felt very looked after despite my obvious nervousness about how I’d look and feel afterwards. The surgery itself took around one hour. I was awake and kept informed throughout. The worst part was the anaesthetic but even that wasn’t so bad. I felt no pain during the surgery. Afterwards I felt very numb and had difficulty fully closing my eyes for a couple of hours until the anaesthetic wore off. I rested in a room for an hour and was cared for until my friend arrived to take me home. My eyes felt sore and watery for the first couple of days and I’d definitely advise anyone having the surgery to not work for a couple of days afterwards to avoid eye strain. I also found wearing sunglasses indoors helped. I followed to the letter the after care pack provided to me however and was encouraged to go for a walk each day. The recovery went as advised with the bruising getting gradually worse and peaking at around day 6. I have fair skin and the bruising lasted for around 3 weeks but it improved a lot after around 11 days and was largely coverable with makeup. The bruising was also localised to the eye area meaning sunglasses covered everything and no one gave me a second look when I ventured outside or to the shops. Within a month all the residual bruising had gone and the swelling under and around the eyes had also subsided. I had only told two friends and both on seeing me a month post surgery said they would never have suspected I’d had eye surgery. Instead they said I looked like I’d had a “really good nights sleep” and skin smoothing treatment. Other friends and colleagues who’ve seen me and have no idea I had surgery have told me how incredibly well I look. I was dreading going back to the office but on doing so no one suspected a thing and asked if I’d been on holiday. I’d recommend Miss Olver without hesitation and am absolutely happy with the results of my surgery. I’ve had two consultations post surgery and 7 weeks on, know she is on hand should any issues arise.
