It is now six weeks since I had my Blended Vision surgery at the Focus Clinic, Wimpole Street, undertaken by Mr Ali Mearza. At my one week check-up I had better than 20/20 vision. Both reading and distance vision is great.

I did a lot of research into which Clinic I should go to before I settled on Focus. The first person I had contact with via email was Paula, she answered all my questions (of which there were many!) with complete honesty and objectivity and without any ‘hard sell’.

I finally decided if nothing else, to attend the consultation at which time they undertook a complete medical history and thorough eye examination in order to assess my options – as I was interested in the Blended Vision (one eye for short and one eye for long distance), the ability to show me what the treatment would do for me, using contact lenses to replicate my vision post-surgery was invaluable.

Having Laser surgery on my eyes terrified me, but I was determined to proceed as I now knew how good my vision could be, without glasses. On the day of the surgery I met with Mr Mearza; he was very patient and reassuring and talking to him before surgery helped me to relax.

The surgery itself lasted approx 10 mins and apart from slight discomfort of having the eye clamped, it was painless – my biggest problem was having to use eye drops after surgery!

The improvement to my close-up vision was evident before I had even left the building, with the distance vision taking a little longer to clear.

I can truly say it was the best decision I have ever made, I have no regrets, and couldn’t be happier! I would recommend anyone considering Laser surgery, to go to Focus. A big thank you to all at Focus, their kindness and professionalism was outstanding.
