Explanation

I was delighted with the lens replacement procedure carried out by Mr Deshmukh three weeks ago. I had worn contact lenses for 45 years but three years ago, in my early 60's, had to abandon them for glasses, on which I was completely dependent. Now I only need to wear +1 glasses for reading the smallest print (eg ingredient lists on food packets). I had both eyes done on the same day which was easy and convenient and was back at work the following afternoon. The procedure itself was completed within about 45 minutes and all the staff were kind, supportive and helpful. I would recommend sedation on top of the anaesthetic as although the procedure is painless it helps to be completely relaxed.

From start to finish the experience was calm and stressful. Dr. Deshmukh explained very well what was going to happen. The treatment itself was totally painless and was over in less than 2 minutes. I felt totally safe in Dr. Deshmukh's hands.

You can have every confidence in Rajesh Deshmukh when it comes to dealing with your failing eyesight due to cataract. The assessment was thorough; the conversation was relaxed, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and to receive clear and simple explanation. Surgery to both eyes was performed almost effortlessly, at least for the patient, with little more than mild discomfort. Was able to see clearly straight away; even able to get the tube and train home safely. On reflection, why did I not do this years ago! There was nothing to fear and an immense reward from simply being able to see clearly once more.

Dr Deshmukh was due diligence in checking and then performing the cataract operations for me in the summer. By October, my vision has now been quite sharp at night or under dim-light. Under certain bright light conditions, there is some halo/clouding which could come and go. Hope this will continue to improve going forward. I am grateful with Dr Deshmukh. Look forward to having him to perform any posterior capsular opacification checkup or annual eye check in the future.

Dr Deshmukh was due diligence in checking and then performing the cataract operations for me in July. By October, my vision has now been quite sharp at night or under dim-light. But probably due to the fact that as I chose the latest multi-focal lens implant, under brighter light conditions (including reading white backlit computer screen), there is often halo/clouding which could come and go. Whereas my friends who chose the older version of lens implant, they have not had such issue after their cataract surgery. Perhaps it was just me who is sensitive to these lens. Still I am grateful with Dr Deshmukh. Look forward to having him to perform any posterior capsular opacification checkup in the future.

Explanation

Mr Deshmuyk advised me to have bilateral cataract surgery owing to my double vision which was likely to remain and requires prisms in prescription glasses. I was nervous during the operation but Mr Deshmuyk was very kind and patient throughout. Immediately afterwards I was able to tell the time on a wall clock in theatre (an impossible task beforehand). Three weeks on, I have excellent eyesight and a short recovery period thanks to the bilateral surgery.

A very good result from my bilateral surgery, my surgeon Dr Deshmukh was very professional and explained every step, in fact all involved were very helpful. I no longer need to wear glasses, and after testing my eyes have 20/20 again. Would thoroughly recommend.
