Explanation

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.

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.

I saw Mr Wevill at the Westbourne Centre regarding laser eye surgery. I highly recommend him and would encourage those thinking about laser eye surgery to book with him. Mr Wevill took the time to explain the procedure, and answered all of my questions. I had a high prescription and through laser eye surgery no longer need glasses/ contacts. I am very grateful to him!

I had ICL surgery in November 2022 and I am delighted with the results. Initially reading about the surgery online I was a bit nervous. After my consultation with Mark I felt at ease. He explained everything clearly and put no pressure on me to have the surgery (unlike other high street chains). The surgery was quick, painless and eyes healed quickly. Mark called following the surgery to check how I was. Mark is a great surgeon with brilliant patient care and I would highly recommend.
