Mr Rajesh Deshmukh

What an absolute game changer! Mr Deshmukh was recommended by a friend who required complex cataract surgery. Aged 47, my eyesight wasn't terrible but I required glasses for reading which meant for my job I spent a lot of time taking my glasses on and off and having not worn glasses for most of my life, I hated the fact that I couldn't read without them. Mr Deshmukh listened and advised me on the best type of lenses to correct my vision whilst addressing my cataracts. I was fairly apprehensive about the surgery however Mr Deshmukh and his team put me at ease, the procedure was quick and straight forward, the recovery was smooth and by the next day I could read without glasses! Amazing!

Mr Deshmukth is a pleasant, friendly, professional, well communicative and efficient surgeon.

It was a pleasure to meet Mr Deshmukh who explained the procedure for the removal of my cataracts and lenses implants. He was very efficient and made it easy for me to feel confident and calm before the surgery. So far my eyes are settling down nicely.

He explained the options available to me in a very clear manner.

Mr Rajesh Deshmukh is an excellent communicator. I felt heard and he was able to guide me through the process with as much detail as I wanted. I came away confident that the decisions made were the correct ones.

Excellent service.

Boom. Wow. My vision is so much better now. I had fairly serious cataracts and astigmatism, and Dr. Deshmukh has replaced my lenses. He selected fantastic lenses for my eyes and adjusted the focus points differently for each eye. Now my near, intermediate and far vision is perfect and I don't need glasses for reading, using my computer, or for driving. Colours are so sharp and the world seems brighter. Thanks to Dr. Deshmukh and his team at Moorfield's Hospital.

I have one “good” eye and one lazy eye, and both needed cataract surgery. In the lead up to the procedure I was extremely anxious, simply because I rely almost entirely on one eye for day to day vision. Mr Deshmukh approached my concerns with real understanding and sympathy. His professionalism and clear explanation of the options put me completely at ease. I had expected each eye to be treated separately, but on his advice both were operated on at the same time. It turned out to be absolutely the right decision. The whole experience was calm, efficient and surprisingly stress free. Mr Deshmukh was supported by a professional and friendly team — from the anaesthetist to his excellent secretary Paula, and the nurses involved at every stage: tests, scans, pre op assessment and the operation itself. Both the pre and post operative consultations with Mr Deshmukh were first class, with exactly the right amount of information, explanation and reassurance. Having both eyes done together meant the recovery and medication phase lasted just four weeks, rather than two separate eight week cycles. The post op medication was comprehensive (the first two weeks involved 11 drops a day), but I was able to pass the driving sight test within 24 hours of surgery. My medium range vision returned quickly, and my close range vision is improving steadily. Reading is now easy with simple, inexpensive single strength reading glasses. Moorfields itself was excellent, with everything running on time — apart from the day of surgery, when things were delayed because the anaesthetist had a puncture on ...

Mr Deshmukh was very professional and despite being very busy he took his time to explain the procedure of the cataracts and lenses operation.

I had cataract surgery for my both eyes at the same time. Sedation and local anaesthetics were used and it went very quickly; from the time I laid down until I came out from the surgery, it was only about one hour. I don’t remember much about the surgery, because of the sedation, it went very quickly. I was able to see immediately after the surgery and went home within one hour. I followed the given instructions and my recovery was very quick. Within one week or so I was able to go back to my normal activities. I am definitely glad that I have both eyes done at the same time. Now, after four weeks of surgery, my sight is much improved, for both near and far. One of the significant improvements after the surgery is that the uncomfortable feeling/strain that I had been feeling for ages has gone. The lens used for my eyes also corrected my astigmatism. The choice of the lens was perfect for me. I definitely recommend the surgery if you are wondering to have or not. I was wondering, actually until the day before the surgery, but now, I am very happy that I had it done.
