Had Lasek Wavefront re-treatment last month and a week later I had 20/20 vision in both eyes!! I cannot thank Mr Pillai and his team enough for their excellent service. I had my initial treatment back in March 06 and was advised for the Lasek Wavefront procedure due to having thin corneas. My prescription was -3.5 in both eyes with astigmatism. After the treatment my eyes improved greatly, but I still had a slight prescription of -0.5. I was told by Mr Pillai 3 months after the procedure that I was on the border line for a re-treatment - however through my own laziness I did not follow it up. However, 18 months later I went back as my prescription got weaker. Mr Pillai tested my eye ...  More...

I have to say that I think the level of service and care that I have so far received at the Harley Street Clinic from Mr Pillai and his associates is exemplary and I cannot imagine any way in which it could be improved. I would like to draw particular attention to the way in which I was 'talked through' the operation itself, which I found to be very reassuring. In the interests of feeding back some experiences of a typical patient, I'd like to make the following points; 1. The bright light examination following the dilation drops on the day of the suitability consultation was more painful than anything during the operation. 2. It would help to be shown a picture of what the pattern wi ...  More...

I have been looking at laser surgery for couple of years, and when I had my consultation with Mr Pillai 6 months ago, I was advised that due to my prescription I was not suitable for Laser Surgery. My prescription is -16 in both eyes, but he advised me that the Implantable Contact Lens will get rid of all my prescription, and will have a good vision without glasses. I waited for 6 months for the service to be organized at Advance VisionCare, and I am very happy I did so, as I was operated by one of the leading professors in Europe. One week after the surgery in both eyes my vision is close to 20/20. It is difficult to explain how thrilled I am to be able to drive a car without my glass ...  More...

Mr Pillai is obviously very busy, but never makes you feel rushed. He puts you at ease, and gives you confidence to trust him. All the staff are very helpful, even when I returned home and unfortunately had a reaction to my artificial tears. They kept in touch to find out how I was doing, and were very courteous. Even though my outcome is not monovision as was expected, I am still very happy and hopeful that my right eye will improve further. Thank you, Mr Pillai for my new vision.  More...

I was looking at Laser Refractive Surgery to get rid of my glasses for the last 1 or 2 years. I wanted to go and travel around the world, but the glasses and contact lens become an unwanted baggage. When I went for consultation at Advance VisionCare, Mr Pillai explained to me that I was not suitable for laser surgery, because my cornea was thin, and my prescription was -7 in both eyes with astigmatism. I was offered alternative method of getting rid of glasses - by putting implantable contact lens in my eye. Initially I hesitated, but I was given the full explanation of the side effects of the procedure, and I was convinced that it will be done by one of the best, and internationall ...  More...

Information provided was clear and detailed and care was taken during the consultation to explain everything and answer my questions. The procedure was quick and painless. Only one week after surgery so hard to tell how good my sight will be long-term, but I am managing fine without glasses or lenses. It's great not to have to fiddle around with lens solutions at the end of the day.  More...

Unusually for me, I was not worried or concerned on the treatment day and I can only put this down to my complete confidence and trust in Mr Pillai and his team. Everything went very smoothly and my vision improved immediately. I am thrilled with the results so so far. Thank you!!  More...

After months of research into the treatment I was recommended to AVC, and the professional work of Mr Pillai and his staff. From the first phonecall I was made at ease, and this continued to date (6 weeks). At present I have 20/20 vision in both eyes, and hardly any dryness. It would be without hesitation that I would recommend Mr Pillai and his staff for such an important treatment procedure. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at AVC for all the care and attention I received.  More...

I have been very pleased with all elements of the process, and would recommend the process with yourselves. Thank You.  More...

To have laser on my eyes was a very big thing to do, but I felt comfident and assured and was in the best place!!  More...

The treatment I received from AVC was excellent. Everyone was helpful and caring and made me feel at ease. As I travelled from Kent, I was also offered a hotel for the surgery night . My sight was fantastic, I now have more than 20/20 vision and I have had no problems since the procedure - I would recommend AVC to everyone - it has changed my life - Thank You.  More...

My brother and I were both very short sighted. We have been doing lot of research into laser surgery, for some years. One of our relatives works in the industry, and hence it helped us to find out more in detail . Two important things played a part in our decision.The best and the latest laser, and a reputable surgeon. We settled for the Bausch & Lomb laser, as it is the longest established laser in Europe. The latest Z100 has some unique features, and is also the fastest laser. We chose Mr Pillai as our surgeon, due to his reputation and importantly the continuity of care offered by advance vision care.You can see the surgeons whenever you want. My prescription was about -10 D, ...  More...

Excellent Service right from the start. Despite my worrying it didn't hurt a bit and was over before you know it. Would recommend to anyone - it's a life changing operation.  More...

I am Very pleased with the results of my eyes. Everyone was very friendly.  More...

Every one of the staff at AVC were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and went a long way to reassure and calm my nerves. Even though there were minor complications on one eye I would thoroughly recommend AVC to my frinds and family!!  More...

I was very impressed by the level of care and service I received. I was seen promptly and given full information so I entirely understood the procedure, the risks, and the rscovery process. I especially appreciated meeting the surgeon beforehand as it really put me at ease and gave me absolute confidence in his abilities. The surgery has made such a huge difference to my life and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Advance VisionCare to others.  More...

I previously used . I've now had lasik treatment and can read without glasses and see distance. I've thrown two pairs of contact lenses, several pairs of specs and loads of solutions away - a new lease of life. Thank You!  More...

Many thanks for all your care & attention that has been given over the past 18 months to me & my wife after treatment. Excellent care from start to finish.  More...

I thought I would have the inconvenience of reading glasses for the rest of my life. I'm delighted to be able to read again unaided. No more rummaging around in my bag, pockets etc.. for grubby scratched glasses. I used to have a pair in every room in the house.Car, greenhouse, etc... I would say the treatment cost was economically viable when you consider how much I used to spend on designer frames etc... I'm trying to get my husband to have it done - his life will be revolutionized by it!!!  More...

Service was second to none, I was very concerned and very nervous, and everyone put my mind at ease and made me feel very comfortable. It's the best thing I've ever done, it was quick and painless, and now I'm free of glasses + contact lenses!! Thanks a million.  More...

It is now five weeks since my treatment. I could be very boring and repeat all of the comments of the 300 or so before me; but I won't. All I will say is have no fears. The treatment is painless. The surgeon and staff are magnificent. The results are outstanding. Enough said!  More...

The service and treatment met all my expectations. The only thing to fear is fear itself. I now know that I needn't have worried. After 6 days I have 20/20 vision and can read unaided, at the age of 58!! I have aready recommended 2 family + friends.  More...

Very friendly, very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and the results have been fantastic.  More...

From the initial appointment to the aftercare following treatment, the professional expertise and the level of service at Advance Visioncare have been excellent. After consultations with two high street companies offering lasik treatment, I was not sufficiently confident in their expertise to go ahead with treatment. But after speaking with Dr Pillai and his staff I had no remaining doubts. Even though I had quite a large long-sighted prescription, the results of my treatment have been excellent from day one and the aftercare I am receiving continues to be very good.  More...

Overall it was an amazing experience. During the procedure, every step is explained and you know what to expect. In my case, pain was bearable and recovery was first. I reached driving standard within 2 weeks after surgery. I CANNOT THANK ENOUGH TO AVC !!!  More...

The whole procedure from initial telephone call to check-up after the operation was faultless. A fantastic team, behind an incredible surgeon. Thank you - I can now go back to singing and dancing on stage without fear of falling into the pit!!!!  More...

Verry happy, fantastic result - had no problems with discomfort what so ever. No pain. Did as I was asked by Advance Visioncare with aftercare. Very Happy. Warren Thanks.  More...

I was very short-sighted before the treatment, and it is wonderful to be able to do away with my glasses. I would like to thank everyone for making the process easy.  More...

Fantastic service - pain free surgery - really proffessional service. I was concerned that having my eyes done would hurt, however the procedure was fully explained, as was what would happen afterwards. I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was and how good my vision was afterwards. I didn't have any sensitivity to light and the worst i felt was a bit of dry eyes. I would highly recommend AdvanceVisioncare!  More...

Excellent. Friendly and hepful staff made me feel completely at ease. I am already making recommendations to my friends about Advance VisionCare!  More...

Excellent standard of service all round. Everything was explained dearly and I was encouraged to ask questions. All staff are a credit to AVC, they all made me feel relaxed and comfortable at every step of the process. I would and have recommended others to use AVC, Dr Pillai and his team. THANK YOU!  More...

Excellent service and excellent results. Thanks all that were involved!!!  More...

For your reference I would confirm my distance and near vision is (in my humble opinion) very good and would say that it is better than when I wore my varifocal glasses. And sometimes, if the wind is in the right direction (to avoid risk of permanent squint)I can read without the need for glasses. I experienced no real discomfort following the treatment, not even from bright sunlight and we have plenty of that here in Azerbaijan. The only downside was the complaints from my wife who became frustrated at hearing my constant verbal updates of my quickly improving eyesight and asked me to stop, which I totally ignored. On visiting Mr. Wade he appeared to be more excited than I was at the suc ...  More...

Extremely happy with the service and results. Amazing not to have to wear glasses or contact lenses anymore. Surgeon and staff very helpful + friendly.Would definitely recomment it to anyone suitable. there is nothing to be afraid of - no pain felt whatsoever!!!  More...

I was adviced I would need to have the LASEK wavefront treatment. The downside is the longer recovery period. The procedure itself was really quick and i didn't feel anything. The hardest part was concentrating on the bright lights. When I got up from the couch, I would already see better than without my glasses. I already wished I had done this years ago. I've used my drops scrupulously, and drank lots of water. The worst discomfort was the evening after the treatment. My eyes were streaming and felt irritated. I upped the drops from 1 to 2, and haven't looked back. I've had no more discomfort, and one week on i'm really happy. My vision is still blurred at times to be e ...  More...

It's 6 months now since my wonderful laser treatment. From -7.75 and -8.50 to perfect vision!! No Lenses or glasses needed after a lifetime of shortsight. Fantastic experience, no discomfort or problems at any time. I am a frequent visitor to the Lasik - Eyes website, and I read of so many problems which people experience after going elsewhere. NEVER have there been any problems posted from AVC patients! I can't recommend LASEK treatment at AdvanceVisioncare high enough - anyone dependant on glasses or CL's should have it done - BUT AT AVC!!!!!  More...

The service was excellent, if i had any concerns however small, they were answered fully, I was never made to feel silly when needing things repeated, everyone was very kind and patient. The end result was amazing!!  More...

I am very pleased indeed with the procedure and all other matters. The actual surgery was quick and I didn't feel a thing!!!  More...

I have worn glasses since I was 16 and was aways wary of laser eye surgery. However, Mr Pillai was recommended by a friend and I attended Classic Eyes in Bournemouth in March this year. I am also a television reporter and decided that the whole process would make an interesting feature. On further investigation of the industry I discovered that AdvanceVision Care was indeed the best clinic with an impeccable record and Mr Pillai is highly regarded. So I decided to go ahead with the procedure with every aspect of the progress being filmed. The surgery happened in May and it is a credit to Mr Pillai and his team that the results have been excellent. I was about -3.5 in each eye but had much ...  More...

Having had my right eye treated Mr Pillai stopped the treatment on my left eye, because he wasn't satisfied that it would be successful. In the month between my treatments i was well looked after. But cannot deny being able to see out of one eye and having to put a contact lens in the other was at times frustrating. When I returned for a different treatment on my left eye, i was treated like a long lost friend!! now - sometimes I have to pinch myself at my vision without specs or lenses, it's the best thing i've ever done.  More...

The service was excellent, better than expected. I would strongly recommend the treatment especcially at Advenced VisionCare. All the staff done their best to make the experience relaxing and conforting.  More...

Any initial nervousness about the procedure/surgery vanished. Because of the professionalism and expertise of being treated by Mr Pillai. Also, the fact you see Mr Pillai from the beginning until the end of treatment. I would have no hesitation in recommending ADVANCE VISIONCARE.  More...

Will recommend to others.  More...

I would just like to say thanx on a job well done. Everyone was very caring, clear and precise. Every appointment attended was not chore, Thanx again!!  More...

I would recommend it to anyone who is considering having laser eye surgery. The procedure itself was completely painless. You then just have to follow the procedures (eye drops) provided to you, and allow yourself time for your eyes to fully heal.  More...

2.5 weeks after lasik treatment and I feel this is one of the best things I have ever done, going from -7 to 20/20 in a matter of days. Don't think that going to Harley Street will cost you more money. I researched one of the big chains, but did not feel comfortable with their proposed treatment and they were going to be more expensive. I cannot fault Mr Pillai and his team and would recommend them to everybody. In fact, I have already recommended one of my colleagues who had his treatment last week and is over the moon.  More...

The whole experience has felt professional and at the same time relaxing. Appointments were pretty much kept on time and I thought this was a good practice to help reduce me from inventing my own ideas before they could be properly explained. The staff have all behaved to a high standard and it leaves me feeling confident. It has never felt “about money” and I have always been a person not a “number”. I have already passed on details of the clinic to friends & associates.  More...

There care, advice and information I have been given throughout this process is second to none. My sincere thanks to Mr Pillai & his team for a fantastic experience. Walking in the rain, swimming, reading by the pool and opening the oven door are just a few ways that my life has changed. All I can stay to anyone considering having the treatment is “what are you waiting for?”  More...

The changes this has had to my every day life has been immense. Having had glasses virtually since birth being free of glasses now-has made a really life changing difference. The attention to detail and my peace of mind through continuously providing knowledge, really made me feel comfortable-just brilliant. Worth every penny & so much more!!  More...

Coming to Advance VisionCare has certainly been the greatest thing I’ve done. Dr Pillai and his team have been excellent. They have given me near perfect vision without the aid of glasses or contact lenses-it is an amazing feeling. I highly recommend Advance VisionCare. Like many, I researched laser surgery in depth and truly believe there isn’t a better surgeon! Thanks Dr P & team.  More...

Superb service, attention. I knew what to expect down to the last detail. Wish they had an aftercare consultant in Isle Of Man as I have to keep flying over, and it' is expensive. Highly recommend anyone to come to this clinic - don't risk any other ( supposedly cheaper one ) - your eyes are worth the best!  More...

At two months post op, I am extremely happy with the results. I see very clearly without any haze or glare although I had LASEK surgery.  More...

Made a life changing procedure into a routine experience. Excellent service throughout.  More...

I am absolutely delighted with the service supplied by Advance VisionCare. After a dreadful experience at Optical express (they said I was LASEK) I was apprehensive about laser surgery. The whole experience has been fantastic. I have had no pain or discomfort and have better eye sight then I hoped for. The team are excellent- Thank you! Since my surgery I have convinced my husband, work colleagues who have also undergone surgrey.  More...

My eyesight started to deteriorate around the age of 7. It rapidly got worse and I found myself with a prescription of -7.5 in my right eye and -8.75 in my left eye. The last time I had my eyes tested was in 2000 because I was fed up with having ever thicker high index lenses. My prescription was worse than this by the time I had treatment. I had investigated the possibility of having laser treatment in 2000 but was informed that my prescription was too high. I was recommended to Advance VisionCare by 2 acquaintances of mine. During my consultation Mr Pillai told me that he didn’t want to give me laser treatment because he couldn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t have to still wear glasses. ...  More...

The service all the way through was excellent and the results were amazing! I would recommend Advance VisionCare to anyone for their professionalism and personal approach to my treatment.  More...

Because of my high prescription of -9.5 & -10.0m I did quite some research and consulted several clinics. The diversity of treatments suggested t me raised my doubts whether U should do the treatment. I did more research and started discussing the differences with the surgeons. During this process Mr Pillai convinced me that his treatment will bring the best results. Six weeks after the treatment I am very content with the results, my vision is perfect and I strongly recommend everybody considering a laser treatment to consult Advance VisionCare before making a decision on the clinic.  More...

I would just like to thank everyone at Advance VisionCare for all they have done for me. You helped make me feel relaxed and welcome. I have recommend you to my friends & family.  More...

All in all it was a first class experience it was disappointing to have to wait for over an hour over my appointment time but I understand you can not rush to make up time. The actual operation went very well. I was kept informed at all times exactly what was happening. The 2 nurses were very good and helped me relax. I also received a telephone call from one of the nurses on the Saturday evening to see if everything was okay. This really impressed me. Great customer service!!  More...

The service that I received from Advance VisionCare was outstanding. I felt totally relaxed on my treatment day. The procedure itself was painless and the nurse talked me through it, constantly telling me how much time was remaining, though the laser time for each eye was only 30 seconds. The results are amazing, I can see as well as I ever could with my contact lens. I have had no problems whatsoever, but I had every confidence in Mr Pillai, that even if I had it would not have bee anything that I could not have been corrected. I would not hesitate in recommending Advance VisionCare to anyone, quite frankly I wouldn’t go anywhere else.  More...

It is so good not to need glasses at work. I feel more confident not to worry about galsses.  More...

The whole process was completley painless (including the actual treatment!) A well organised procedure from initial contact through to after care, which is all included. The proce quoted is what you pay. My aftercare optometrsit says my vision is “perfect”, no need for glasses even for reading. It’s made a hugh differnce in my life- I see things I used to miss before, even with lenses or glasses ! Well happy with the results  More...

The standard and quality of the treatment and Advance VisionCare is excellent. The whole process was smooth and efficient and I am more than satisfied with the results. After just one week I have 20/15 vision which was better than I expected at this stage. Mr Pillai and his team explained each stage of the process well and there were no surprises. The positives and negatives were described without any undue bias and during the procedure I felt reassured. I would have no hesitation in recommending Advance VisionCare. Thank You.  More...

I would like to thank all the staff at Advance VisionCare and Dr Pillai for their efficient, professional and friendly service. I felt well informed and treated from start to finish which made me feel reassured I had made the correct decision. I am absolutely thrilled by the results and after thinking about having laser eye surgerey for seven years, I wish I’d had it sooner. My aftercare provided locally by Dr Arbutnot was also first class. Thank You for my new amazing eyes!  More...

I HAD LASEK as I was prepared to sacrifice a more difficult first few days for the faster overall healing. This is because I play contact sports & did not wish an extended absence. The results have been better than hoped. I feel better with the naked eye now than I used to with contact lenses-seeing has become a completely different experience! A very thorough & professional service from the centre with a great care of aftercare. I particularly appreciated the pre-op counselling when I was deciding between LASIK or LASEK. Recommended!!  More...

From being very frustrated with having to wear glasses & then contact lenses, I have gone to perfect vision with neither. This is one of the most worthwhile things I have done, & it was worth every penny. After 9 months, I still have perfect vision, and would recommend the treatment to anyone who needs to wear glasses to read. No more having to ask someone to read the menu for me in a restaurant because I have forgotten my glasses.  More...

I am very pleased that I had this treatment as it has definitely improved my eyesight. I no longer need to wear glasses, this, of course, also saves money. The treatment in received was very good and the staff were very friendly. Mr Pillai was very reassuring and extremely professional. I would recommend this procedure to anyone who is reaching the age when eyesight starts to fail.  More...

I feel total care and aftercare was more than excellent. Very pleased. Thank You All.  More...

Excellent experience from start to finish, staff at the clinic friendly and informative. Very welcoming atmosphere. 110 % delighted with everything !  More...

Even if the treatment should only last a year or two it was still worth the money. I’m thrilled with the results. I could read tiny print the same day as the treatment. Sometimes I feel guilty for taking my excellent eyesight for granted as I keep forgetting I had anything done and that I ever wore glasses for reading.  More...

I had been considering laser eye treatment for several years and chose Advance VisionCare firstly because it came highly recommended by Friends and secondly I felt satisfied with the high level of service that Advance VisionCare offered both pre & post surgerey. The results have been outstanding, with my only regret being that I was not recommended Advance VisionCare a few years ago! Thank you to all staff for their excellent service.  More...

Dr Pillai and all his team have done a wonderful job with me. I was a bit nervous about undertaking laser surgerey as my prescription was considerably high but with professionalism and great care, they made sure I had understood every simple detail of the procedure and felt totally comfortable and confident about the proceeding. The surgery was a success and after wearing glasses for twenty years Dr Pillai gave me perfect sight. A miracle!  More...

I was extremely pleased with every aspect of my care-any points overleaf I didn’t score excellent please take constructively-none of these affected my overall excellent impression. I am 100 % satisfied and my life has been transformed since surgerey-a huge thank you to Mr Pillai & his team.  More...

Excellent service all round. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.  More...

Treatment was all I could have expected. All well explained at all stages. Aftercare excellent.  More...

We have both been delighted with both the treatment and aftercare we have received and it is great not to have to use glasses.  More...

if you want to take any risk out of the whole process, go with these guys. They are fantastic, I haven't a negative thing to say about them. I had my eyes done 6 months ago. One eye is now 20/20 perfect. The other still has a slight stigmatism, so a bit blurry. At my 6 month review, Mr Pillai said he'd get me back in (all included in the price) for an enhancement. Both eyes are now 20/20; better than when I wore glasses.  More...

I found the service very friendly and welcoming and explained procedures thoroughly. I had complete confidence in all the medical staff concerned.  More...

Very impressed with the whole process and extremely happy with the results.  More...

Everyone very helpful with information and questions. Felt they were “attentive” and comforting ! (CK)  More...

Wonderful service, wonderful staff, wonderful surgeon and lovely, clear, wonderful world. Well worth every penny! Mr Pillai is so warm and fills you with confidence and is willing to be there for you no matter what time of day or night!  More...

Since having LASEK treatment two weeks ago each day has been so exciting – seeing everything in detail, from waking up in the morning, to looking up to a clear, crisp night sky! After a considerable degree of myopia and contact lenses for over 40 years, the change is fantastic. The freedom, particularly for outside activities, will be wonderful and I thank Mr Pillai and his team for making it possible. After much research and visits to other clinics I felt that Advance VisionCare was right for me. My first impression of AVC was of a relaxed atmosphere of professional expertise and competence, combined with a friendly welcome. I felt at ease and immediately confident that I was making t ...  More...

The happiest moment of my life is regaining my perfect eyesight. As soon as I opened my eyes after laser surgery, I knew instantly I’ve made the right decision and I grinned all the way back home. Undoubtedly this is an important decision that we all have to consider carefully and the thought of it may sound daunting to some people. But only Advance VisionCare and Mr Pillai and his staff could give me 100% comfort that I felt at total ease even in the surgery bed. I would definitely recommend this to other people!  More...

Having worn glasses for 26 years with prescription standing at -7 with astigmatism in both eyes I wasn’t hoping for perfection just the driving standard would have made me happy. However with the surgery I had an assessment 4 weeks later I was told that my vision was 20/20! 100% perfect vision. Absolutely incredible. The consultations were very thorough, everything was explained in “laymens” terms & I just felt reassured at every step. I couldn’t be happier! Avery big Thank You!  More...
