    I would recommend Professor Reinstein to anyone who considers laser eye surgery, or is experiencing complications as a result of previous eye surgery. My brother had RK (micro surgery) performed on one of his eyes in 2004 and suffered severe halos, starbursts and blurring as a result. The halos and starbursts made it impossible for him to drive at night time. I contacted all eye clinics/surgeons I could come across in the hope that something could be done and the only surgeon I could find who was able to assist (or was willing to operate on an eye where RK had previously been performed for that matter) was Professor Reinstein. It took a couple of procedures to correct the eye where ... More...

    I thought I'd share my experience of laser eye surgery performed by Professor Reinstein back in July this year. I'm a mother of 4 and used to be a practising barrister before I took early retirement! What prompted me to have my eyesight corrected - well, the reason was quite personal - I felt I needed to improve my appearance and feel better about myself after I discovered that my husband of 16 years was about to leave me for a 27 year old! Having decided it was better to spend serious money on this rather than say a holiday or a car or diamonds, I checked out every outlet offering this service. I did my research thoroughly and I must say that even from the outset, the London Vision ... More...

    Dr Reinstein is exceptionally qualified and compassionate in dealing with patients who suffer from complications of laser eye surgeries or problematic visual outcomes. I have been seeing him for about a year and a half and feel that he is both better informed technically, and more understanding practically, of optical problems induced by laser vision correction. Additionally, he has the most sophisticated diagnostic equipment (including VHF digital ultrasound) available today. I am a finance professional by day but as a hobby I do some low-key patient advocacy work for people in the UK with problems from laser eye surgeries (my website is at www.lasermyeye.org). I often consult Dr Reinste ... More...

    Other companies I rang told me that laser could not help me because my eyes had deteriorated through age. An article in the Daily Express talked about a procedure called CK that could help me read again without glasses. When I came up for the free consultation, I was told that I was a candidate for either LASIK or CK, which I didn’t know as I had been told that laser could not help. I couldn’t decide which one to have. I thought I should have the CK because it seemed less invasive even though it took longer to recover. But on reviewing the safety data that you showed me on your LASIK results, I was filled with confidence and chose the procedure that would give me the quickest visual reco ... More...

    Original prescription: +3.50 = long sighted. I am a scientific lab technician. I came in to see Prof Reinstein because I wanted my long sightedness, which blurred both my near and distance vision. He did the most thorough eye exam that I have ever had in my life, and after this, told me that I had a tumour that seemed benign in the back of my eye. Clearly I was quite surprised. He sent me to a specialist for the back of the eye that afternoon (the retina) to confirm that these were benign. I saw Mr. Graham Duguid, who confirmed Prof Reinstein’s findings. I hardly had time to worry about anything before I was reassured 100%!! We proceeded with the surgery. Prof Reinstein’s manner, the way he ... More...
