Our Testimonials
After thinking about surgery for several months I began looking around. Visited the clinics in town and decided to visit St James hospital before making a final decision.
After meeting the consultant Mr James Ball who gave me great confidence after fully explaining the the procedure and informing me the laser used can treat eye with higher problems than most used in standard eye clinic. I decided to go ahead.
Things could not have gone better all the staff were really helpful and put me at ease as I was understandably nervous . Everything went very well and Until my 2nd eye refused to open and Mr Ball has to work hard to open the eye he did a fantastic job to open my eye and was able to complete the operation
6 weeks later I can not believe the difference in my sight and would recommend the treatment and especially St James hospital laser clinic but then it is one of the main teaching hospitals as has some of the best consultants working there so any one thinking about eye surgery should (must) have a consultation at this clinic. So a big thank you to Mr Ball and all the wonderful staff.
My work involves extensive use of computers and printed matter and, for some years, I have struggled along with glasses. Eventually, I decided to look into laser eye correction and I booked a consutation with a national company who advertise regularly on TV. Following the consultation I decided not to go ahead with this company, partly because the company’s premises seemed to be awash with salespeople but mainly because they told me that I would still need glasses for close-up reading following the surgery.
I struggled on for a while longer before doing some more research on the internet, where I found St James Laservision. Their site seemed to address the criticisms I had of the other company so I booked an appointment and had an initial consultation with Mr Ball.
I was sufficiently impresssed with Mr Ball and everyone at St James to book in for my surgery on 26th September 2008 and I was particularly pleased to hear that the treatment could be tailor-made for my eyes to give me good distance and close-up vision without glasses.
It is now a month since my surgery. Everything went exactly as I had been told – everyone at St James was professional and curteous, the procedure itself was painless and remarkably quick, the post-op consultations were straightforward and, most importantly, my vision is now so much improved that I do not need glasses at all.
Many thanks to Mr Ball and everyone at St James Laservision
My first reason for choosing St James’s was the reputation. Taking advantage of the free consultation, I met Mr Morrell who gave a very honest and thorough explanation of the procedure. He did no oversell the potential benefits, especially as being 64 my own expectations were realistic, following the research I carried out on the internet. I chose the Monovision solution whereby I have distance vision in one eye and close vision in the other. This is the same prescription as I had used with my ‘daily’ contact lenses.
The operations went smoothly, the pre and post operative care and attention have been excellent, and I could not have wished for a better outcome. I am absolutely delighted with the results. Having spoken to others who have had the treatment, and had said they experienced pain for a day or two after the operation, I had no such reaction.
It is hard to imagine that I could have had better treatment anywhere else, so I would certainly recommend St. James’s to everyone.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the result, after nearly 30 years of wearing glasses.
No real problems at all – eyes still tend to be a bit dry (4 months after surgery) but this is settling.
I’d definitely recommend the procedure & St James’s laser vision
After much research of laser eye surgery the pros, cons, dangers and different procedures etc. I decided to book a consultation at St James Laser Vision after being impressed by their website. I had my consultation in July 2007 with Mr Ball and felt he was very professional, experienced, competent, and able to fully answer my long list of queries and questions. This was just what I was looking for in the surgeon I would entrust my sight to. After more research of other clinics I decided to go ahead and book my surgery at St James. I had Lasek (surface treatment) in October 2007. I felt fully informed of the procedure and risks, what to expect and that all my questions and concerns had been answered before going through with it. I had originally wanted Lasik due to fast healing, virtually no pain but it was recommended I go for Lasek it was fully explained to me the reasons why this was the best treatment option. Mr Ball and team were great and put me right at ease as I was so nervous. The procedure was over quickly and I had both eyes done at the same time. The first week after was hard as expected but on my first check up a few days later my vision was already massively improved. I had originally been above -4 in both eyes pre surgery. Things continued to improve and vision stabilised and evened out in both eyes over the coming weeks (healing process is slower with lasek). The dry eyes and grittiness I had experienced lessened as time progressed. Anyway I had my 6 month check up in April 2008 and everything is great, better than 20/20 vision that is sharp and clear in both eyes. I have had no night vision problems either. I feel so lucky and privileged to have my vision back again without glasses I hated wearing and contact lens which always felt uncomfortable to the point where I stopped wearing them. It has been a truly life changing experience for the better. I wish to thank Mr Ball and his team for their excellent care throughout I couldn’t have asked for a better team to entrust my sight to.
