A month ago, I had the eye surgery in Bolton. From start to finish this was a totally professional experience. Dr Allamby is very approachable and pains taking in his wish to explain the surgery in every way. I was impressed by his obvious enthusiasm for the operation - there was never a moment where he faltered. He exudes confidence without being brash and this consequently breeds confidence in the patient. I felt totally at ease with all of the procedure. The surgery itself has been a great success. I am still in a transitional stage in reaching the optimum benefit of this operation but reading glasses were thrown away in less than a week …  More...

Ever since i was twelve i've needed glasses. I've gradually got worse and worse but within the past three years slowed down and have currently not had any change for over 2 years. I'm now twenty-one and i am lucky enough to have been given the gift of sight again. I've been wearing contact lenses for around 5-6 years and they've gradually made my eyes so dry that i had to stop wearing them altogether. I had my consultation in september 2003 and Dr. Allamby made me feel very comfortable and definately knew what he was talking about. My father had researched the LASEK procedure and David Allamby is one of the most qualified in europe so i knew i was in good hands. I had the LASEK procedure at ...  More...

Having read about the new procedure CK in 'Choice' magazine I went to Devonshire Place in early August and had a very thorough eye examination and full explanation of the treatment. As a consequence I booked in for the treatment, which I had about six weeks later in September. Although naturally apprehensive I was treated with great sensitivity and professionalism. The after-effects were explained in detail and, indeed, proved to be 'spot-on' ! The slight discomfort lasted barely a couple of days. At my first follow-up appointment Mr. Allamby performed extensive tests and gave me the required corrective treatment there and then. By the time I went for a second follow-up in November my eyes h ...  More...

I read the article in the Daily Mail explaining about this new procedure for correcting the deterioration in eyesight resulting from ageing and was intruiged to know more. I went along to the clinic in Devonshire Place, London where an extremely thorough analysis was done to determine whether the treatment was appropriate for me. As I have a muscle imbalance in my eyes there was some doubt, so I was offered the opportunity to simulate the effect of the operation by wearing contact lenses for a few days to see what it would be like. It was a great improvement, so having read all the literature provided very carefully and weighing up the risks and costs I went ahead in May. I had both eyes ...  More...

When I read an article in the Daily Mail in January 2003 headed 'Radio Wave Cure does Away with Reading Glasses' I decided this was the treatment for me. I have been wearing reading glasses now for a few years and had got really fed up with putting my glasses on and off to check prices, sell by dates, read the paper etc. Having had my precheck for suitability I had Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) carried out on 2 May 2003 by Dr Allamby at the London Vision Clinic at 8 Devonshire Place, London. Having met with Dr Allamby I was confident I was doing the right thing despite well-meaning relatives trying to put me off. Dr Allamby has a calm manner and exudes confidence in his procedure with s ...  More...

Don't be put off by the fact that there are few comments on this site. I am a veterinary surgeon and have had bilateral LASEK performed by Mr.Allamby and am delighted with the results. I had one eye done at a time, being a cautious soul! I am just recovering from the second eye operation which I had done 8 days ago and have 20/15 vision overall! (The vision takes some time to settle down after this operation). I did my research well and attended 2 clinics to investigate their treatment approach, criteria, style etc., and feel very happy with the choice that I made. The initial consultation with him lasted over an hour, and he answered all my questions thoroughly. I am positive that h ...  More...
