I recently visited Mark for Lasik eye surgery. After researching for a long time and feeling quite nervous I finally plucked up the courage to book my appointment and from the initial phone call consultation to meeting in person and the actual procedure I couldn't fault the service. Mark is a lovely doctor who instantly makes you feel at ease. The actual procedure was so quick I wish I'd had it done years ago! It's life changing to wake up in the morning with no need to glasses or contact lenses. If you are thinking about laser eye surgery then I would highly recommend Mark for your treatment.

I recently had LASIK surgery with Mark Wevill. Having spent quite some time researching various providers, I am very glad that I found Mr Wevill. Everything from the first consultation, to the procedure itself and aftercare thus far has been all that I could have hoped for. Mr Wevill has a reassuring manner, is clearly highly-experienced, and is genuinely very considerate of those under his care. He takes time with his patients and answered all questions I had thoroughly. I would have no doubt in recommending him to anyone seeking laser-eye correction. The nursing and administrative staff (Korin) that Mr Wevill works with were also fantastic and ensured a the whole process ran smoothly.

I visited Mark to see if I could have lense replacement, he was very thorough and reassuring. I decided to have both of my lenses replaced on the same day, I was quite anxious on the day of the surgery but I need not have been. The surgery was very quick and straightforward and my vision was amazing even after 1 day. I can not recommend Mark enough for anyone considering vision correction surgery.

Mark was brilliant from start to finish. He made me feel at ease from the first consultation and gave a thorough explanation of each type of procedure and the benefits and risks of each. After my procedure he was very reassuring and even made the effort to ring me on the first evening to see how I was doing. The first few days after my procedure were tough and I was in quite a bit of pain so I got in touch with Mark to check that what I was experiencing was normal. Even though it was a Sunday he rang me back and quickly reassured me that this was normal after LASEK. I am now nearly 5 weeks post-surgery and I have absolutely no regrets and the discomfort I experienced was all worth it. My vision is so much better and I am hoping it is only going to continue improving and getting sharper over time.

Thank you for sharing your experience. LASEK can be painful for a couple of days afterwards, but I'm pleased the gain was well worth the pain. Thanks again.

If you are looking to get laser eye surgery then don't think twice. I wish I had done it 20 years ago. Mark Wevill has so much experience and is so good at what he does. Puts you at ease straight away. I had lasek and recovery is slightly longer than lasik. However within a few days you will wonder why you hadn't done it sooner. I can drive without glasses. I have HD vision. Amazing. Thank you so much.

A Northamptonshire man has become one of the first people in the UK to have a new type of lens implant

The Raindrop lens corrects near and medium vision by adjusting the curvature of the cornea, causing its central section to become slightly steeper. This helps to overcome presbyopia and many patientscan throw away their reading glasses afterwards.
