    Having been thinking about having laser treatment for years I was recommended Julian by a patient of mine. He has been superb , I had bilateral wavefront INTRALASIK and my sight has been restored. I am able to comfortably read even the smallest print and can honestly say the result is better than I expected. The procedure is very quick, easy and painless. my presc pre: +3.75/-3.50x7 6/5, +3.62/-3.25x172 6/5 post: +0.50/-0.50x15 6/4 +0.05/-0.37x171 6/4 It has been 8 months now and my sight is just as good as the day after it was done. More...

    All I can say is that I'm absolutely amazed by the whole proceedure and it's results!!! I've only had the surgery done 3 days ago (4th June) and I can see perfectly! It doesn't feel like anything was done to my eyes actually. The whole proceedure lasts a very short time and it is painless. You feel a slight discomfort for a couple of minutes, but I think when you've been wearing contact lenses and glasses for 17 years it's a very small price to pay! It was a little bit blury for a couple of hours with a slight discomfort but I used the drops they gave me and even that was gone! And I couldn't recommend more Dr Julian Stevens! He is very pleasant and friendly, happy to answer all your questio ... More...

    I cannot praise Mr Stevens and his team highly enough. A big thanks to Janet for her people and organisation skills, you’re a star. With a -10 prescription in both eyes I had multi focus lens replacement in Nov 09. after wearing contact lenses for 30 plus years I am truly seeing things for `the first time`. There is no problem with distance or near vision, its wonderful. immediately after the first operation, I was still on the table, I was so overwhelmed with my vision I couldn’t speak and it just got better and better. A few days after having the second eye done I was driving and caught sight of a rainbow, well I could hardly drive for the tears. It was so wonderful to see the colours t ... More...

    For anyone out there considering having laser eye surgery, I cannot recommend Julian Stevens and Moorfields enough. I had Wavefront Lasik laser eye surgery in October 2009 after having thought about it on and off for the previous few years. The final push for me to get it done is that I’m going travelling around the world in May and don’t wish to carry contact lenses with me and deal with the hassle of using them every day, however I wish now I’d had it done when I first considered it. I booked an appointment with Julian Stevens as I knew 6 other people who had been to him and spoke very highly of their experiences. From the initial consultation to the follow up appointment 3 months after ... More...

    My eye surgery took place in September 2009, 30 minutes after the surgery I was having a pub dinner and two days later I was lying on a beach in Cyprus. The whole process from start to finish was so smooth and the results have literally changed the way I view life. The surgery itself was pain free, Mr Stevens was so calm and confident I felt constantly reassured, he delivered exactly what he promised. More...

    I had Wavefront Lasek in March 2009. I had done a considerable amount of research into laser eye surgery for about a year prior to having the procedure and after reading many articles, also a recommendation from an eye surgeon friend, I decided the only place to have the procedure was with Julian Steven at Moorfields Eye Hospital. I had the option to have either Lasik or Lasek. I opted for Lasek as I wanted to continue doing Martial Arts and other contact sports. In my consultation with Julian Stevens, he answered the queries that I had in a clear and concise manner which gave me a great deal of confidence in his ability. If you are the sort of person that needs to be convinced to have th ... More...

    I had Wavefront LASIK in October 2009. I am a slightly unusual case in that I have a different eyelid shape to most people and wanted to find out if I was suitable for LASIK. Mr. Stevens was very professional and I was able to discuss all my queries with him before undergoing surgery. My vision is much improved and is considerably better than it was with glasses. I would definitely recommend Mr. Stevens if you are considering LASIK. I would also like to thank the other patients who have contributed to this website as it was very useful when it came to making a decision whether to have the surgery or not. My surgery was painless and the only side effect I have had is the occasional dry ... More...

    I had the wave front Lasik technology surgery with Mr Julian Stevens and I'm still so pleased with my wonderful vision like crystal clear , I would highly recommend Mr Stevens to anyone considering Laser Surgery. The procedure took about 10 minutes for both eyes, good thing is after surgery no pain and you can’t find any bruise. I can honestly say that it is the best place to do laser vision correction. I start driving on same day, from next day it comes normal . THANK YOU MR STEVENS!! More...

    It's two years ago this week since I had iLasik surgery with Julian Stevens and I'm still so pleased with my wonderful vision. Moorfields was the only place for me and Mr Stevens and his team were excellent from start to finish. Having previously had PRK surgery several years before I was so worried about being in pain afterwards but was amazed that it didn't hurt at all, just a slight stinging for a couple of hours. Although I was very nervous on the day, Mr Stevens has such a confident, reassuring manner, which really helps when you're as nervous as I was! I would highly recommend Mr Stevens to anyone considering Laser Surgery. More...

    I visited Mr Stevens in July having been advised not to wear contact lenses for much longer.A number of my friends and colleagues had recommended him and like so many people have commented i wanted to go to the best because after all it is your eyesight. The procedure took about 10 minutes, was uncomfortable but not painful and I can honestly say that it is the best money i've ever spent. I would not only recommend surgery but would wholeheartedly recommend anyone considering it to use Mr Stevens. More...

    This is the most amazing thing I have ever done. I used to be very short sighted (-8.0 and -8.5) and now the world has never been clearer. I did my research thoroughly and all roads seemed to point to Mr Stevens; from the number of procedures he's carried out, all the great reviews and professional recommendation he's had and his research interests in the wavefront technologies. Mr Stevens and his team gave instilled me with a level of confidence nesessary to go through with such a procedure, after all I only have one pair of eyes. The procedure itself was painless and took less than 10 minutes. I went out that evening and was able to drive the next day. 2 weeks on and I have com ... More...

    I chose Mr Stevens , because I considered Moorfields the safest place to have my operation and having read other reviews realised that Mr Stevens came highly recommended. I was wearing -5 contacts for sport and social events and glasses the rest of the time. I had quite pronounced Astigmatism in my right eye and I will be 50 in December , which as you know means I would be expecting bifocals as my reading sight deteriorates. So on the face of it this was a tall order . I had a consultation with Mr Stevens in February and in early March I went in for Lasik surgery. Mr Stevens is wonderfully calm about the whole process , and I never once felt that he wasnt going to do a fantastic job. ... More...

    I'm partially deaf and thus rely even more on my sight than most people for lip-reading and for filling in auditory gaps. I've been short-sighted most of my life, and was probably more hesitant about the idea of Lasik surgery than I would have been without the deafness. Julian Stevens and his team at Moorfields were excellent throughout, ready to deal not just with the usual questions (side-effects, long-term issues etc), but with the unusual ones as well. The procedure itself was quick, painless and fascinating. All the staff were happy to deal with any extra issues arising from the deafness; all of them (particularly Mr Stevens) exuded a sense of total solidity and competence about the ... More...

    My husband and I had lens replacement by Mr Stevens last year and have just had Lasik treatment to one eye to refine my left eye and I just wanted to add that I could not have had better treatment and after-care (which I think is very important). We are both thrilled with our results, after years of wearing glasses we feel liberated from not having to wear glasses from the moment we wake up. I would 100% personally recommend Mr Stevens and would not hesitate to refer any of my family to see him when the necessity arises for them to seek eye treatment. He also has a wonderful PA in Janet Bartlett who makes you feel relaxed and answers any of your queries or fears and is always at ... More...

    I had LASIK in 2005 performed by Mr Julian Stevens at Moorfields Eye Hospital. I have absolutely fantastic vision and it stills shocks me just how well I can see. The procedure was quick and painless, and Mr Stevens and his team made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. Having researched laser eye surgery in depth I knew that the outcome would be affected by the surgeon’s skill. Knowing that Mr Stevens had performed thousands of procedures and was highly regarded by other surgeons as an expert opinion leader in the field made him the obvious choice. In the waiting room I met a patient who had been treated elsewhere and was unhappy with the outcome so was now seeing Mr Ste ... More...

    Mr Stevens was THE surgeon to completely eradicate any fears or nerves on this momentous procedure.I didn't worry AT ALL about it as I felt I had taken any risk out of the equation with this wonderful man. I had this done a year ago and a re treatment was necessary (due to me getting long-sighted) and I don't regret it.Wish I had it done and not waited so long.THANK YOU MR STEVENS!! More...

    Mr Stevens performed lasik surgery on my eyes a few years ago and I have been thrilled with not having to wear glasses. He was extremely kind and professional and helped guide me through what was naturally a worrying time. I had taken a long time to pluck up the courage to have the surgery and I could not have chosen a better Surgeon. More...

    I absolutely recommend Julian Stevens to anyone. He performed Wavefront on my eyes some years ago now, and was fantastic. I went to him after I had Lasik elsewhere and was unhappy with the result. He relifted the flaps in my eyes after about 18 months, which most surgeons would be hesitant to try. He knows exactly what he's doing and I can now see perfectly. More...
