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
I had needed glasses from a small child, and so have no recollection of ever being able to see clearly. I had the Lasik surgery in Feb 2004, as a 50th birthday present! It was undoubtedly the best birthday present I could ever have had. I am still enjoying the sensation of waking up in the morning and being able to see clearly, and at times still catch myself thinking that I've left my contact lenses in! I now have 20/20 vision, before I was -12 and -8, so a really dramatic change for me. I am so grateful to Mr. Daya for his encouragement and professionalism, he has changed my life! If you're hesitating about having the surgery, I'd say go for it!
I decided to have IntraLASIK surgery because I wanted to be able to see better and it was the latest and safest technology through which I thought I'd get the best results – particularly considering my high prescription. I'd heard that Centre for Sight had a very good reputation so I thought I'd try them first. I went along to their monthly informative seminar and was very impressed by the professionalism of Sheraz Daya and his team so I decided to go ahead. I booked a consultation, I was found to be suitable after a series of tests and I decided to go for surgery. As it is such a huge risk to have this type of surgery, I needed to be sure that I was doing the right thing. Every aspect of the procedure had been explained before, during and after the surgery. I was reassured at every stage so I knew what to expect. I was quite comfortable, although there was slight discomfort (not pain!) for a few minutes…..The next morning my eyes were slightly sore following the operation but I could see very well, this was confirmed at my follow up visit the next day! Now, I have completely recovered and my vision, particularly in my right eye is perfect. I would absolutely recommend the op, in fact I already have! There is no doubt in my mind that Centre for Sight is the place to havelaser eye surgery, particularly as they have the Intralase laser – this minimises the risk factor even more. I was extremely well looked after and all the staff were professional , caring and made me feel comfortable and reassured at every stage. I had every confidence that Mr. Daya would be successful in correcting my eyes and I was right!
It's a miracle. 15 minutes of painless surgery and I have 20/20 vision in both eyes. Why didn't I do this sooner. I had my Intralasik surgery on Mon 15th November 2004 performed by Mr Sheraz Daya at Centre for Sight in East Grinstead. Tuesday 16th November I drove, without my glasses, to the routine 24 hour check up. I could see more clearly than when I wore glasses. Prior to the operation so many people tried to disuade me from having the operation because of the 'risks' involved – all giving 'expert' advice on a subject they had absolutely no experience of. I decided I would make my own mind up and made an appointment with Mr Daya to have the thorough eye consultancy where he determines whether surgery is possible or suitable. I then attended a very informative and reassuring free seminar about Lasik and Intralasik surgery at Centre for Sight which was conducted by Mr Daya. After the seminar we could speak to people who had undergone the surgery themselves. I thoroughly recommend you attend this seminar if you are considering surgery. It will explain everything and allay all those fears that friends and family may have instilled in you. 6 days after the seminar I can see. The staff are so helpful, efficient and reassuring Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will now be able to play tennis so much better – next stop Wimbledon!
It was absolutely brilliant!!! I've worn my glasses for over 25 years, my prescription was -3.5 in both eyes with an astigmatism. Mr. Daya recomended the Intralase with Tissue Saving treatment. I had my surgery on 15/11/2004 and it was amazing -no pain at all !!! because a flap was created with the Laser rather than a blade. After the operation my eyes were checked by Mr.Daya and I was discharged from CFS an hour later with full instructions as to what to what to expect and how to take my drops. The next day I came to have a check up and I was already 20/20 in both eyes!!! I could even drive my car the next day which seemed really strange without glasses1 I'm so happy and I would like to thank all the staff at Centre for sight, especially Mr. Daya for his magic work. I would definately recommend Centre for Sight and the Intralase procedure to anyone.
Amazing, absolutely brilliant, I just can’t believe it. My sincere thanks to Mr Oz Giledi and the team of friendly professional staff at Centre for sight at East Grinstead. I’m 43 have worn glasses since I was 10 and all types of contact lenses since I was 16. So it seems very strange to me that when I wake up I don’t have to reach for my glasses. I had a prescription of – 7.50 with an astigmatism. I had thin corneas, so Mr Giledi recommended that I had Intralasik to create the flap and then zyotix tissue saving laser treatment. I had surgery on 22.10.04 and on my first check up on 25.10.04 I had already got 20/20 vision in my left eye and the right eye was nearly 20/20 and that will improve over the next 6 months.
The procedure was quick and painless, with just a bit of discomfort after the surgery, but nothing too bad. But when I woke and took off my goggles ( which you must sleep with them on for the first 4 weeks. Sexy!) the following day after surgery, I just could not believe my eyes. I could read all the number plates of the cars as I looked down on to the street. Absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you to every one.
