Painless 12 min procedure so there is no need to be concerned

I was very pleased to have Mr Goel as my consultant. He was very clear in his communications to me.

I was initially referred by Boots Opticians (Lincoln) via the NHS (Lincolnshire Referral Service) for cataract surgery on my right eye, which was causing significant glare. Unfortunately, the NHS ophthalmologist was quite dismissive of my condition due to the nature of my congenital cataract and mild amblyopia, leaving me with a mixed message about whether surgery would be appropriate. Having already researched the subject myself, I decided to seek a second opinion privately. I chose Mr Goel because of his extensive experience in advanced cataract surgery. From the outset, I found Mr Goel very approachable. He listened carefully, answered my questions clearly, and gave me sound, balanced advice. After further tests and scans, he confirmed that surgery could be carried out and recommended a toric EDOF IOL to address my corneal astigmatism and provide some extended depth of focus. He was completely upfront about the potential risks and explained that the final outcome might be limited to some extent by my amblyopia. The surgery went smoothly and without complications. Within 48 hours, the vision in my right eye had improved significantly — not only compared with my pre operative vision, but arguably beyond anything I had experienced in my lifetime. The glare and blur were gone, and I could read standard text without glasses, something I had not been able to do for several years due to presbyopia. Over the following days, my two eyes began working together far more effectively, leading to a noticeable improvement in stereopsis and 3D vision. It is only two weeks since my opera...

I was referred to see Mr Goel, a Consultant Ophthalmologist from the Eye Correction Centre at Spire Hesslewood, by my optician (Andrew & Rogers, Beverley) due to cataracts. I was seen quickly for assessment and Mr Goel reviewed my test results, examined my eyes further and discussed the diagnosis and different treatment options, along with the risks and benefits of each. He communicated clearly and was caring but professional. I had the opportunity to ask questions and raise minor concerns, which were reassuring dealt with. I felt confident that I was in safe hands. My 2 procedures of advanced cataract surgery with placement of multifocal lenses were booked at my convenience and 1 week apart so that I did not struggle with unbalanced vision for long, which I appreciated. Mr Goel was very clear about what would happen during the procedures which eased my anxiety and the surgeries went smoothly and ran on time. I was reviewed a week after each surgery and the surgery results are amazing & life changing. No more glasses after 40 years of wearing them! I would highly recommend Mr Goel if you require similar surgery.

Friendly, professional approach from initial consultation, through follow up, appointment, during the procedure and in the postoperative appointment All the process, risks and expected benefits were clearly explained and my questions answered fully

I am very happy with my eye operation and how good Mr Goel was I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking wanting the same treatment

Very pleasant doctor

Mr Goel was extremely courteous and very professional and made me feel completely as ease, I would highly recommend him to anyone

I cannot thank Mr Goal and his team enough for the incredible care and treatment I received. From my initial consultation through to my cataract replacement and laser eye surgery, the whole experience was professional, welcoming and reassuring. I was made to feel completely at ease throughout, and I always felt that I was in safe and capable hands. The communication between Mr Goal and Jason Rigany was fantastic. They took the time to explain my options clearly, answered all of my questions and made sure I fully understood the different treatments available before making any decisions. Their professionalism and genuine care gave me complete confidence in going ahead with the surgery. Having my eyes treated has genuinely changed my life. I no longer need to wear glasses, which has dramatically improved my quality of life and given me a freedom I never expected. I am incredibly grateful to Mr Goal and the whole team for everything they have done for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering cataract or laser eye surgery. Thank you for giving me the gift of clearer vision and a new lease of life.
