Explanation

Prior to the Lens replacement I was using glasses for both near & far vision. I was very concerned I was gambling with my eyesight however after discussing with a colleague who had had the replacement twelve months previous it convinced me to proceed. I had my second eye lens replaced two weeks ago & can't believe the improvement it has made. Walking at the weekend was a different experience I could see ranges of hills I never seen previously from different viewpoints. Mr Rehman was so helpful & explained the procedure correctly, no surprises!

A really professional service. I was treated as an individual from the start. Mr Rehman discusses the treatment and answered all of my questions and couldn't have been more helpful. Before treatment, I needed glasses for reading, computer work and driving. Now I can order a meal in a restaurant, read a magazine or book, use the computer, totally free of glasses. It has now made such a difference. I just need sunglasses now when we go on holiday. Everybody has efficient and helpful from start to finish. I would have no hesitation in recommending to friends, family acquaintances.

My initial approach to Optegra in connection with cataracts surgery was made on the recommendation of my optometrist.The arrangements for an appointment with Mr Rehman were quickly and efficiently made. He confirmed that surgery was appropriate in respect of both left and right eyes. and he explained carefully and in detail, the procedure, timescale , expected benefits etc. Although initially apprehensive I was reassured by his helpful and open response to my questions. Arrangements were therefore made for the procedure to take place. Because of the prior discussions with Mr Rehman, there were no significant surprises with the actual treatment and the follow-up care was excellent with instant and helpful responses If I had any queries. I am delighted with the outcome. The world through my new eyes is a much brighter place. I am sincerely grateful to Mr Rehman and the whole Optegra team who on all my visits have been welcoming and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend you to my family and friends. Thank you.

I have worn specs/contacts all my live. Before treatment I could no longer wear my contacts due to eye changes and had resorted to wearing Bifocals for some time. It was soon apparent how much this compromised my life. The treatment and care I received at Optegra was the first rate. Mr Rehman fully explained the procedure/expectations beforehand and I was entirely confident and reassured. Following Clarivu treament/both eyes, I am now specs and contacts free. Infact my results have been entirely life changing. For the first time in my life, I can see properly. I can only describe this experience as miraculous.I am amazed and delighted in equal measure. Mr Rehman and his team are highyl professional. The treament itself is no scary than a routine trip to the dentist. Being able to see well have transformed my life

Mr Rehman is very professional and approachable. He explained carefully the procedure and always made sure I understood what was going to happen. The accompanying literature concerning lens replacement surgery was straightforward and easy to understand. My questions were answered and I felt I was given plenty of opportunity to discuss the procedure fully before I decided to go ahead. Post operative care is carefully explained with concise written information to take away and this also explains the drops needed and the do’s and don’ts For the weeks following lens replacement surgery. I felt confident having this procedure under the care of Mr Rehman and would recommend him to anyone considering lens replacement surgery.

Clarivu is simply one of the best things I have ever done, and being able to dispense with glasses is a dream come true. In the past, despite my best efforts, I have never had a pair of glasses that have fitted comfortably, even after choosing lightweight frames and lenses. Although being aware that Clarivu might be an option for me, I was quite anxious about the procedure, however after a consultation with Mr Rehman I felt confident and happy to go ahead with the treatment. The surgery itself was calm and relaxed and the nursing staff all extremely reassuring. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Clarivu and last but not least I wanted to say a big Thank you to Mr Rehman and all his team.

Since having the Clarivu treatment in October, I have not worn my glasses or even thought about them. Hiking in the rain had been a problem because I was trying to see through raindrops on my glasses or they were frequently steamed up in bad weather. Not any more. Now I can map read without glasses. I can read anything without glasses even the small print on price tags in clothes shops. The world looks brighter and I can see clearly into the far distance. I don't have to worry about losing my glasses when travelling in and out of different countries or breaking them in a place where it would be impossible to get them repaired. The pretreatment consultation was informative and thorough. Throughout the treatment which only lasted about 15 minutes I felt reassured by caring , confident and professional staff. I didnt feel nervous because Mr Rehman and his team made me feel entirely at ease before and during the treatment.I was surprised at the lack of discomfort during the procedure there were no unpleasant moment during or after the treatment. I would recommend this treatment by Mr Rehman and his team to members of my famiy and friends as a solution to finding difficulties with wearing glasses and solving the problem of cataracts. Thank you so much.

Its fantastic not to have to rely on glasses. I dont have to remember to make sure I have then when I go out. My close vision is fantastic. I like to do practical work and can even thread a needle! I feel more confident (being a walker) i can approach steps without having to remove my glasses. I used to take them off when talking to people. A generally pleasant and successful experience. Thank you
