Viewpoint Vision

Mr Chitkara was recommended to me by a business associate. My only regret is that it took me 2 years to pluck up the courage before contacting him.I had worn contact lenses for distance and reading for several years. Apart from the inconvenience of putting them in and taking them out I was still having difficulty with glare whilst driving at night. I was dreading having to drive from work in the winter of 2005 as I knew it was going to be a serious problem for me. I contacted Viewpoint in September 2005 out of sheer desperation even though I was very aprehensive. At the clinic I was immediately put at ease by Mr Chitkara who explained the procedure I required and booked me into the clinic. From that day on I have never looked back. My life has been changed by, what I call, my miracle. My glasses and contact lenses are both in the bin as I no longer need them .I had lens implants otherwise known as refractive surgery and would reccommend it to anyone. The surgery was quick and painless as were the frequent check ups that you undertake. For anyone out there that is hesitating I would say, call Mr Chitkara now and let Viewpoint change your life the way they changed mine.

In reply to Ramits question I would like to answer with the following; I had surgery with them a year ago and can vouch for them 100% Their equipment is state of the art and the surgeons amongst the best in Britain. The aftercare I received was and still is excellent. I am always made to feel very welcome whenever I pop in. I have no hesitation at all in recommending them to you. In fact I think that because the company is small, it is more personal and friendly without compromising the treatment in any way. I had also had check ups at high street clinics and chose this one as they made me feel the most comfortable and educated about what they were offering. They also explained the reason for offering my type of treatment against any of the others on the market. Please feel free to contact me again if needed as I know it is a frightening time just the thought of having any treatment done on your eyes. Hope this helps. Lesley

Had surgery on 23rd Sept 06 and can't recommend viewpoint highly enough. From the initial consultation which was very detailed and informative, through to the procedure and aftercare, there is very little to find fault with. I had medium myopia and astigmatism in both eyes and needed glasses all the time. I had surgery at 5pm saturday and, after being checked, drove 60 miles home the following morning with no problems. My eyesight has continued to improve since then and is now better than 20/20 in both eyes. The procedure was wavefront guided LASIK and was explained fully to me before hand. Viewpoint did everything they could to make the process as easy as possible including booking a hotel room for me. They even took me to the hotel after the procedure when my taxi didn't turn up - great service. I certainly have no regrets about having the procedure or choosing viewpoint.

What a brilliant team. Arthur Nylander performed lens replacement on both eyes at once. The operation was relaxed and I only had eye drops for pain relief. Deepak and Arthur talked me through the whole operation before the procedure and then came to see me 30 mins after the lens were implanted to explain that everything had gone according to plan. The hospital I stayed in was fantastic and I'm pleased that I decided to stay overnight and return home the following day. The aftercare has been marvellous. My sight has gone from -8 to better than 20/20 vision. Before surgery I was unable to read anything on the opticians chart - and I can now read the very bottom line. I can recommend Viewpoint - they have been excellent. Thankyou Deepak and Arthur.

Can't believe I have worked in Optics all my adult life and put this off for so long!!! Deepak and Arthur put me at ease immediately, explaning procedures and answering all questions.I was aware of the importance of quality of vision and opted for (the now standard practice)Wavefront-guided LASIK. It has been fantastic. I can see 6/5 unaided and it is wonderful not to have to rely on specs or mess about with contact lenses. The equipment is state of the art, the standards and professionalism of all staff second to none.The after care has been very thorough and genuine. Arthur, Deepak, Anne and team I can't thank you enough.

Delighted with the results, having previously suffered +8, with severe astigmatism (approx. -4.5), I now need little or no correction, and only need to wear reading glasses for close work. This has been a life-changing procedure for me, and I would highly recommend Deepak and his team at Viewpoint Vision. Apparently I can now fly planes!!

For many years I have contemplated eye surgery. My sister who had lens surgery 9 years ago has never looked back and my nephew has also had laser surgery by Mr Chitkara. After plucking up the courage I decided to have a full consultation with Mr Chitkara at Viewpoint. On arriving at the clinic I found the atmosphere to be very professional and friendly. At my consultation I was fully tested and talked through about my surgery and the best way forward. I decided to go ahead with lens implant surgery with accommodating lenses. I had the surgery done in January 2008. I am now completely free from glasses and totally satisfied with my decision. I would whole heartedly recommend this clinic to anyone. The service and after-care is exceptional and the experience was way beyond my expectation. I would like to thank Deepak Chitkara and all his staff for their skills and wish them success in years to come and may Viewpoint grow.

Absolutely brilliant. From initial consultation to surgery to after care the clinic cannot be fauted. Worries about surgery,pain and after effects were unfounded. Wish I had committed earlier.

I had wanted corrective surgery for many years and had always been told that my eyes were too badly damaged to achieve my desired outcome of improved vision , I had recently heard that significant developments were being made in the field of lens exchange and that now maybe with my vision could improve, I was desperate my eye sight was getting worse and impacting on my lifestyle in a big way . I went to one clinic and after testing they informed me that they couldn't help , I was so disappointed, and tried another clinic - I was talking to my daughter about it all and she was concerned about my experiences at these clinics thus far , she asked me to contact a friend of hers who knew off MR CHITKARA and VIEWPOINT clinic , who told me , "if anyone can help you its him "she said - and she was right ! when I arrived at viewpoint the difference in the set up there was immediately apparent , relaxed , professional and more - (find out for yourself visit a couple of clinics and then viewpoint ).I had every conceivable test with Mr Chitkara - lasting 3 hrs and was delighted when Mr Chitkara told me confidently Yes - can do your corrective surgery , lens exchange , cataract removal in both eyes ! the day of my op I was very nervous , Mr Chitkara , spoke with me the night before , in the hospital before the op and after . Not only is Mr Chtkara a very skilled surgeon , he is a genuinely caring man who takes time to talk with you on a level you understand ,After the op I had no pain , 1week later 20/20 vision! Mr Chitkara insists you return for regular check ups and will call you at home if necessary (all incl in price ) its little short of a miracle that Mr Chitkara was able to give me 20/20 vision - but proves going to the right people and place pays - don't take any chances make sure you know your going to the best VIEWPOINT are exceptional I am not one for giving references / testimonials but truly can not thank view point enough thank you Mr Chitkara thank you Anne

A fantastic service from start to finish. The initial consultation was very thorough with Dr Chitkara explaining everything and answering all of my questions. He put me very much at ease. The surgery itself was very quick and painless (the procedure just feels a little weird) and again, I was reassured by Dr Chitkara throughout. There was some initial uncomfortableness for 48 hours (as expected) but I was back at work within 4 days with no further issues. Results wise, my sight is now better than 20/20 in both eyes :) After-care has been first class - Viewpoint are always at hand to assist with any queries be it by phone or in person. Dr Chitkara and his receptionist are very approachable, friendly and will always make time to 'fit you in' should you need anything. Overall, a very pleasing experience and service. Very professional, and highly recommended.
