I cannot recommend Mr. Daya and Centre for Sight highly enough. Mr. Daya was recommended to me by my optician in Reigate when I first considered laser eye surgery. This followed an episode of a severe reaction to a change in contact lens solutions and the realisation that I wanted to do away with glasses and contact lenses. I did a lot of research on the subject and the various companies offering laser surgery. To gain a balanced view I also consulted Ultralase in Guildford. Whilst Ultralase appeared very good, CFS, to my mind, were head and shoulders above Ultralase, the reasons being:

At my initial consultation with CFS, as well as undergoing a battery of tests, I met Mr Daya, the surgeon, who explained the procedure in detail and answered my questions. Mr. Daya appears to be a man at the top of his game which persuaded me this was the man I wished to entrust with my sight. My consultation with Ultralase was conducted by a consultant – essentially a sales person. Whilst I underwent a similar battery of tests (which seemed a little less thorough than the CFS) and met with qualified Technicians I did not get the same level of comfort. To be fair to Ultralase they did say that I could return to meet the surgeon if I wished.

The main difference between CFS and Ultralase was that the latter offered 3 standards of service, effectively bronze, silver and gold with prices to match. I am at a loss to understand how any surgeon could offer anything other than the best and would be prepared to compromise treatment for the sake of a few hundred pound. The impression I got from Mr. Daya (and I asked him about this) is that CFS assesses the best treatment for a patient – there is no tiered service. Incidentally CFS was cheaper than the quote from Ultralase, although for me, price was not as issue.

The results some 48 hours post-procedure are fabulous and I am told, my sight should improve over the next few months. The procedure itself was virtually pain-free; certainly no worse than a visit to the dentist. At worst there was some mild discomfort but the end results more than justify the discomfort.

Lastly a big thank you to everyone at CFS. I have visited both locations and everyone has been tremendously professional and helpful. Many thanks.
