1. Review of Centre for Sight Clinic
Centre for Sight is a long-standing and renowned eye surgery clinic, with three practices in London, Surrey and West Sussex. Its leading consultant eye surgeon, Mr Sheraz Daya, founded the clinic way back in 1996 with a clear mission: provide exemplary eye care to patients in facilities that are purpose-built with their needs in mind.
What makes Centre for Sight different? Centre for Sight is based on Mr Daya’s vision that better surroundings can provide a higher standard of care. Today patients get to enjoy a spa-like or luxury hotel experience, rather than the dread of most hospital surgeries.
Is there anything else I should know? As you’d expect then, this clinic also comes with the price tag that accompanies a five-star experience. Yes, the facilities are kitted out with high-end diagnostic tech and quality lenses, backed up by a team of highly trained staff. But you leave all the fancy atmosphere behind the moment you step outside the clinic, and it won’t be a priority for everyone.

Centre For Sight Reviews

Right eye has never been right. Was told that my brain needed to become accustomed to my new eyes. Was back in glasses within a year. I have tried contact lenses again but vision in right eye cloudy. Would not reccommend it to any one. Centre for Sight want me to pay a further £190 just for another consultation.I am taking advice on this and will probabley have to get the NHS to sort it out. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

I had my laser surgery 2 days ago at the Centre for Sight, after having chosen the clinic on recommendation by users of lasik-eyes.co.uk , and 2 consultations at the London office of Centre for Sight.
The surgery was somewhat more traumatic for me than it seemed to be for fellow patients who attended surgery on the same day. Luckily my husband accompanied me to the clinic, and was able to rush to the shops to get painkillers, sunglasses and cotton buds while I was being looked after at the Centre for Sight. My eyes were very stingy and sore and were really streaming for several hours after the surgery, and I could hardly open my eyelids to look at the eye-test chart after the surgery – when I did manage to open my eyes it took a while to clear up the streaming tears and to see something! But I slowly recovered throughout the next 24 hours, following instructions of taking a nap and administering the various eyedrops, taking both paracetamol and ibuprofen to help reduce the pain.
Now my eyesight is about the same as when I wore glasses (I was short-sighted roughly -3.5 and -5.0, with a fair bit of astigmatism in both eyes), though of course being able to see like this WITHOUT the glasses is very good news.
They hadn’t warned me that my eyes would be so bloodshot – looks very scary, with much of the visible eye-white areas being solid red! My eyes feel quite tired – I constantly have that slightly “bruised” or heavy eyelid feeling when you’re sleepy. But with the course of so many eyedrops, artificial tears and still taking ibuprofen, it doesn’t hurt anymore and I think I’m on the way to recovery.
I’m afraid that so far I cannot report the “miraculous” experience some other reviewers have reported, but I am sure that when I am able to fully appreciate being able to do watersports without worrying about glasses/lenses, I will be grateful for the successful treatment. After all, it was for the watersports that I decided to have the surgery!

I am very happy with all aspects of my treatment the only comment i would make is that the post-op pain was much worse than expected and while it passed within a few hours I did not feel I had been warned how severe it could be. Neverthless, I would do it all again!

Thank you for providing such a good service. Everyone at Centre for Sight was friendly and helpful. The laser surgery was a bit nerve-racking but everything was explained clearly and the medical staff were reassuring at every stage. Thank you again.

20:10 Vision !!! A big thank you to Mr Oz Giledi and the team at Centre for Sight [based at the corneo plastic unit at the Queen Victoria Hospital] who were all extremely professional, knowledgable and friendly.

The surgery has changed my life! It's so lovely to be able to see perfectly after years of glasses and contact lenses. My confidence and appreciation of life has been enhanced in a way that's hard to describe. Truly the best thing I ever did.

I had my surgery on Monday and all I can say is WOW! The results are amazing! I have some dry eye which the drops are controlling but otherwise all is ok. I done a lot of research into laser eye surgery and visited over 5 different clinics over the course of a year before choosing centre for sight. In fact I visited them twice in 6 months and still no hard sale or cost to me. I eventually decided their technology and expertise were the best on the market, CFS are in the process of moving premises and I was rescheduled 2 times before I finally got a confirmed date and CFS gave me 10% discount for my trouble which I thought was great (of course). My surgeon on the day unfortunately wasn't available so Mr Daya carried out the procedure, I will be honest that on the day I was a little ‘put off’ that my surgeon wasn’t available but Mr Daya did a great job as I said above all went very well! My only real criticism was on the day of surgery there were quite a few patients undergoing treatment I totally appreciate they have lots of people to ‘fit in’ but I felt almost as though I was on a conveyor belt but in a funny way this made me more conformable knowing 5 or so people had been before me and come out ok although I was there 4 hours (although the letter does state this)! I had my post op check up yesterday and I am already at 20/20 + vision whish is Fantastic and recommend CFS highly.

24 Hours after having my procedure I am sitting here marvelling at the spectacular result acheived by Mr Giledi. I have no discomfort or pain whatsoever and the procedure itself only took a couple of hours in total (including prep time and resting time after the 20 mins procedure). My only wish is that they could have the facility to perform the procedure in Central London, as opposed to East Grinstaed, but this is me being very picky! I have worn glasses for over twenty years and the vision I have now is actually slightly better than before with spectacles. I now have better than 20:20 vision. I would strongly advise anyone to consider this clinic for their treatment. After all, all fellow medical professionals choose this clinic to have their eyes done.
Louise Shepard
Fabulous, best decision I ever made. Fantastic service Will recommend to friends and colleagues.
