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
My Lasik/Zyoptix treatment was carried out by Mr Daya at the Centre for Sight in East Grinstead at the beginning of December. The new Z100 Laser was used which uses software that recognises your unique iris pattern from millions of others, it is also a lot faster than the previous laser used. I have worn glasses since I was two years old and have for a long time muddled over in my mind, whether to have laser surgery or not. I could not have made a better decision. The whole procedure was handled very professionally, all the staff were very helpful, considerate and understanding throughout. As soon as the procedure was over and my eyes were tested, I noticed a dramatic difference in my vision, there were a few hours of discomfort, for a future with great vision, and no glasses!!!!!
I cannot recommend the Centre for Sight highly enough. I had my shortsight corrected by Mr Daya at the beginning of December using the new Z100 laser, which is very fast and incorporates iris recognition. The former made the treatment faster than ever and the latter gave the added security that it would be impossible for anyone else’s data to be mistaken for mine. The staff were extremely professional, both caring and efficient. My vision was good immediately following surgery – I was able to read the time on the clock on the wall as soon as I sat up – and it continued to improve until by the next morning I felt confident enough to drive my car I am now able for the first time in 25 years to get out of bed in the morning without reaching straight away for my glasses or contact lenses. A short period of discomfort was a small price to pay for the excellent results.
I had my surgery at the Centre for Sight in East Grinstead and it was performed by Mr Daya. My surgery was carried out using the new Z100 laser which also incorporates iris recognition. The surgery was very quick and the results immediate. I could see the difference as soon as I sat up from the bed. I slept well that night and I was able to drive the next day and have had no problems driving at night. It is amazing how well I can see now, it feels strange getting up in the morning and to be able to see out of my bedroom window without having to put my lenses in first. I would recommend the centre to anyone especially now they have the new laser. It was reassuring to have my surgery performed by such a technically advance machine. The staff were brilliant, very professional and caring.
After procrastinating about laser surgery for years I received a very favourable recommendation about the Centre For Sight from two people who had
been treated there and so, convinced that this was the best place to have surgery, I finally took the plunge. After extensive testing with an impressive array of kit and discussions with Mr Daya that further convinced me of the procedure, he recommended that I have Lasik on my left eye and
Wavefront on my right. I went ahead – and it was a revelation. From the second I stood up after the surgery to the present day I marvel at how this
has changed my life. It’s been six months now and the results are truly phenomenal! My eyesight feels bionic and I can see with a level of clarity I had thought impossible – which helps, because I’m a creative director who does a lot of photography. I wish to thank Mr Daya and his team again and
would recommend them to all.
Fantastic – from the moment of sitting up from the operating couch and realising the room around me was in sharp focus I realised my glasses days were over! Recovery was remarkably good – I slept for 5-6 hours after the procedure, and have had very little disturbance from my eyes – in fact I have to remind myself that they have been operated on! It feels totally natural without glasses and I don’t miss them a bit. I would be very careful about who operated on my eyes, as a former local GP I knew that East Grinstead Eye Centre had an excellent reputation as a specialist referral centre (the place other eye specialists refer their patients) particularly corneal surgery, and that Mr Daya was the man for the job. I went in with complete confidence and wasn’t dissapointed. I drove at night the next day – the slight glare around signposts noted but not troublesome, and disappeared witin the first week.
I work for the ambulance service, which involves high speed driving under emergency conditions, and looking for street signs – this now is no problem. The flap integrity is great – I am looking foward to going back on our helicopter air ambulance soon…I cannot recommend it highly enough! Jeremy Mayhew – Medical Director, Kent Ambulance Service
