Dealt with excellently. Cateract surgery went well and great results.
I was given clear instructions about the operation and what l was required to do beforehand. I had glaucoma and cataracts and was instructed to give myself Timolol drops before the operation to reduce the pressure on my eye, very easy to apply. Then on the day of the operation I was fitted with a drain to stabilise the pressure in my eye I also had a new lens to correct my sight. I was then given Antibiotic and Maxidex drops to use for up to 28 days. The whole procedure was very easy and non painful due to Mr Elshan and his team
Mr Elsahn is an excellent clinician and has provided clear explanation of my pathology from start. The procedure and the risks were clearly explained at every stage prior to my operation last week. Today my first post operation visit and I had excellent examination . I am very satisfied with today's visit. A follow up visit has been organised in 2 weeks to assess. All this has been face to face.
Mr Elsahn was very kind and informative. He has patience and understanding.The stent/cateract he performed was a great success with excellent vision within a very quick time after the operation. I highly recommend Mr Elsahn to anyone who is in his care before and after surgery.
Pleasant experience. .Mr Elsahn was professional and kind explaining my test results and taking good care of my eyes I have every faith in him
Had cataract and glaucoma surgery on May 20th in one eye. All went well and my vision is brilliant after 6 weeks. Received much information about the surgery for my other eye as well as an appointment for the first consult. Fantastic service
Mr Elsahn is brilliant I have been under his care for over 3 yrs and he has done a fantastic job with cataract removal and stent implants in both eyes, he is a superb consultant and I highly recommend him to anyone above all else as well as his colleagues., visited 26/05/26
Job well done by Mr Elsahn, my optician said whoever did the operation did an excellent job! It’s a whole new world seeing out there, couldn’t be happier with my eyesight. My glaucoma is also much better controlled after the stents I had fitted
I can't thank mr ahmad elsahn enough , I was very worried about having my eyes done and he was very understanding and helpfull with all my worries , he has changed my vision and eye pressure for the better , the outcome from having my op done has been brilliant in a short space of time , so all is looking good for the future for my eye care , im no longer on drops twice a day and my vision for distance is brilliant cant believe the difference that having this op done for my eyes , im so thankfull for what he has done for me .
