Great experience seeing Professor Saurabh - both in terms of the support nurses and testing for my son's eyes and with Professor Saurabh himself - he has a warm welcoming manner, explained everything clearly so my son could understand and was generally very reassuring. Would definitely recommend.

My 12 year old daughter had a severe and fixed inward squint in her left eye (esotropia) that was operated in March 2025. The results were outstanding. Her squint started during the COVID lockdown, when she was suddenly experiencing long periods of time looking at an iPad due to home learning. By September 2024, she was not able to correct the squint herself, and was experiencing double vision multiple times a day. It took me a long time to find a surgeon who would perform minimally invasive surgical techniques to correct the squint. Most surprising not even one doctor at the Moorfields Eye Hospital in London was prepared to use a procedure that enabled smaller incisions and better positioning away from the corneal limbus. Prof Jain is now training future surgeons who can perform the equivalent of keyhole surgery on the eye, which as well as minimising postoperative complications, also produces a better cosmetic outcome due to less conjunctival scarring. Prof Jain also works alongside his Head Orthoptist, Gurpreet Saini, who did an outstanding assessment of the precise measurements required to correct the squint, while explaining to the family exactly what was happening in a way that was understandable to both my daughter and myself. To demonstrate how sensitive she was to how my daughter must be feeling, she suggested that she write down all of her questions in an envelope which she could look at before our appointment. That way, those 'scary' questions that she did not want to voice, could be sensitively answered in an unpressurised environment.

My child has seen Professor Jain twice over the past four months, and both experiences have been excellent. The optometrist working alongside him is an absolute delight and particularly good with young children. Professor Jain is equally wonderful with kids and parents alike, taking the time to explain things clearly and in simple, accessible terms. As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my child has received. Highly recommended.
