I had my eyes operated on by Dr Alex Ionides in march 2007, after years of investigation & research... I got to the end of wearing glasses, breaking them, and contacts were uncomfortable, so I sold my motorbike to pay for surgery.. I used this site to make my decision. I chose Moorfields as they are deemed World leading... Dr Alex Ionides at first seemed abit washy, felt at times he did not answer my questions as direct as I would have liked, however he always replied to my emails and was very open and helpful.. Anyway, I had -3.5 in both eyes, I had the surgery, all done in about 15 mind and within3 hours I could read a licence plate across the road..... Amazing, the after drops are a ...  More...

I've just recently had my treatment with Mr Stevens and my sight is already improving dramatically. I just wanted to say how kind and helpful Mr Stevens and his wonderful team are. If you are thinking of having this treatment done, you really couldn't chose a more considerate and knowledgeable doctor.  More...

this is the total for the surgery and hospital charges. Had this done in August and delighted with the results. its very quick and i would highly recommend anyone that can afford this procedure to do it. Julian Stevens put me at ease - i was very nervous......he was professional, reassuring and charming. Its quick, painless and results are instant - i am still in shock Excellent staff and put everyone at ease. I was -7 in each eye and still awake feeling i have had a miracle perfomed...I guess i have.. cannot recommend the surgeon highly enough good luck to all x  More...

Hi - I was wondering if anyone has had ICL treatment at Moorfields? In particular with Mr Maurino. I had my consultation yesterday, which was initially for LASIK. However after the tests Mr Maurino recommended I have ICL treatment. My prescription is -9.5 and -8.5, cornea thickness is good. His recommendation was based on my prescription being on the cusp of LASIK v's ICL plus my age, I'm 28. I would be very grateful if anyone who has had ICL surgery at Moorfields would let me know their experience. Thank you.  More...

I have worn glasses for the last 22 years (and I'm only 29!). With a prescription of -7.5 and -8, I just wanted to be able to see a bit better without glasses and was prepared for the fact that after surgery it may not be possible to not need glasses at all. My surgery with Mark Wilkins at Moorfields 3 days ago has given me the sight I was never blessed with at birth. Straight after the op I could already see the difference and after the 'magic 3 hours' later I was already able to see to a standard not too much worse than my glasses. 3 days later and I'm over the moon my eyes are pretty much to how they were without glasses and it was worth every penny! ................................ ...  More...

I went to see Mr Mark Wilkins with my sister for laser treatment as I have worn glasses for far too long and I wanted to be able to see things without my glasses and be able to swim/scuba without contacts. At the end of the very thorough consultation I was told that I had a severely detached retina in my right eye that needed immediate surgical attention and holes/tears in my left retina. I am just posting this message to say that it was only due to Mr Wilkins' thorough examination that I still have my sight. I was told that if I had not gone to the consultation (which I had booked 2/3 months in advance) something would have happened so serious that it would have meant that the chances ...  More...

It is the day after my Wavefront eye surgery with Mr Gartry and I feel 15 years younger! (I'm 30), since that is when I first started wearing glasses. Apart from some minor difficulty in reading very close up and slightly bloodshot eyes (two things I will discuss with Mr Gartry tomorrow morning during my first follow-up consultation), my vision is extremely sharp and crisp. I can read things so small, so far away (I was short-sighted, -2.5 in each eye) It is like wearing the most perfect pair of glasses imaginable and each set of eye drops seems to make my vision even clearer! I cannot believe how quick and easy the whole process was, from the first 90 minute consultation a couple of wee ...  More...
