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.

Our Testimonials
Had intralasik tissue saving op two days ago with Mr Daya. I can't remember ever being able to see this well even with my glasses! This morning, when my husband pulled back the curtains in our bedroom as I was sitting up in bed, I not only saw the tree next door with all its branches – but a green woodpecker sitting in the tree!! This to me is a sheer miracle. Everything is so crisp, sharp and detailed right to the horizon. I just want to say a big 'thank you' to Mr Daya and his friendly team. I was recommended not to have wavefront because of negative abberations (which saved me some money of course!) which needed different treatment. This proves that their main concern is giving the very best to their patients rather than getting the most financially. Well done for these amazing results – I am driving everyone mad reading all road signs and number plates etc! At present, I just need +1.25 reading glasses for some book reading and noticed those 'halos and starbursts' people talk about around our street lamps. Haven't driven at night yet to know what this is like. Computer is fine, but I am trying not to use it too much in these early days. My advice, after much research, is don't skimp – go for the best, I'm really glad I did.
How much is eyesight worth? I have been thinking about the possibility of laser eye surgery for some time, but considered it just too expensive – after all, I could wear contact lenses so who would know? In the last few years though, I have found contacts increasingly uncomfortable, and stopped wearing them full time about 2 years ago. With a severe prescription -9 in the right eye with astigmatism, and -11.5 in the left, these were very expensive – but I was advised that lasik would not work for me by some of the high street clinics. A friend recommended Centre for Sight and Mr. Daya. She too had a severe prescription, and in the end had implant surgery. I thought this would be my only option. How wrong I was. Here I am just over 24 hours after having Intralasik Zyoptix Wavefront surgery – typing this message and seeing better than I ever thought possible. I know this will only get better and can't wait for my next eye test! Don't be fooled though – this is not an easy decision to make, but any post operative soreness, which is short lived and aided by plenty of sleep soon after the surgery, is offset by the relief of no longer having eyestrain, tired eyes, and the conviction that I have regained long term eye health. Thank you for ever Mr. Daya, Carolina, Linda and everyone else whose names I can't remember but who were so wonderful, caring, and understanding of my fears, and who shared my absolute joy at being able to see again, after over 40 years.
I had Intralasik performed by Mr. Daya on Monday 29th January, after about five years of research and a couple of visits to other establishments. The Centre for Sight, with its very informative seminar, thorough tests and examinations, and, for me, confidence instilling consultation with Mr. Daya, just made everything slot into place for me and gave me the confidence to go ahead this time. I am delighted and amazed with the result. No more specs! Brilliant. Definitely life changing stuff. It's only two days since the op and I feel fine and my vision is already excellent. It was the 'fear factor' more than anything for me which delayed my going ahead on previous occasions but the Centre for Sight experience worked for me and helped me overcome this. The procedure itself was fine for me, a few nerves before going in, a bit of pressure on each eye when the first laser was creating the flap, and then some quite intense stinging and streaming a couple of hours after the op, the worst of which lasted only an hour or so. Those were the worst bits for me, and none of them were really that bad! Definitely worth all of that, and the cost, for such an amazing outcome and an establishment which cured my 'fear'! Post op drops and night goggles so far proving to be a very mild inconvenience rather than a nuisance, and, again, all definitely worth it for the outcome. Ten of ten, gold stars and an Oscar nomination, if there was such a thing!
!Amazing!
-9.75 in both eyes back to 20/20 vision in the space of 24 hours.
Have been shortsighted since I was 7 and in lenses for the last 21 years. This is nothing short of a miracle! No more lenses being blown out on the ski slopes, or that sinking feeling when your told to cut down on your contact lense use. I cannot rate this clinic more highly, you are in the hands of true professionals at the top of the game. Please don't go for cheaper options your sight is far too precious!
Good luck to you all!!!!!! and go for it you really won't regret it!
6 month update. Today I had my first eye test with my regular optician since having Lasik at Centre for Sight last July. Everything is stable and I have 20/20 in each eye. Previously I was -8.75 and -7.25 with astigmatism. My optician gave my eyes a thorough examination and said it was the neatest surgery she had ever seen and could barely see any scars. So I think Mr Giledi deserves another mention and another recommendation from a 100% satisfied and very happy customer.
