Your surgeon
Your most important decision when considering refractive surgery is ‘who will I choose to do my surgery’. Your vision is precious and you must have complete confidence in your surgeon. Here are some reasons to choose me to look after you –
I am an extremely experienced Consultant Ophthalmologist specialising in refractive, cataract and cornea surgery and have done thousands of procedures. I have specialised in laser eye surgery since 1997, when I was one of the first British eye surgeons to perform Lasik. I also perform customised lens implant surgery which may suit your needs better than laser, for example if you require independence from reading glasses.

Your implantable contact lens
A focusing lens is placed in the eye. It corrects strong glasses prescription beyond the range of laser and provides very high quality of vision.
The implantable contact lens may be removed – your eye returns to its original state, ready for any new corrective technology.

Your initial consultation
You will see me personally – I do not delegate this important meeting to an optician, as in so many clinics.
The examination is the most thorough your eyes will ever have. There is plenty of time to ask questions and discuss your requirements with me.

Your stress-free surgery
Surgery is not only about your surgeon’s experience and technology – your feelings matter too! I attach the highest importance to making it as stress-free as possible. I will talk you through it beforehand and have various ways of making you feel more relaxed. If you wish, I will prescribe a suitable sedative tablet for you to take. Remember – it’s all done in a flash and you will have better sight for ever!
