Viewpoint Vision

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.

I was always nervous at the thought of having laser surgery as my prescription was very poor and my optician had advised it might not be a good option for me. I went for a consultation and was told that I was not eligible for laser but could have lenses implanted. I was much more comfortable with this option as it is reversible and can be changed in the future. It isn’t cheap but I felt it was worth it and am pleased I have had it done.
I liked having the procedure within an NHS setting as this was local and the staff who looked after me, very friendly. The care was excellent and follow-up also very good.

After 45 years of wearing glasses I decided to go to a consultation at Viewpoint Vision after a friend had had surgery. I was absolutely terrified at the thought of it but Deepak put me completely at ease explaining the procedure in detail.
I went ahead and could not believe how quick and pain-free it was. I didn’t need any pain relief after and just had the drops for the next few weeks.
The after care is unbelievable… It’s 4 months since my surgery… Loving seeing when you wake up! I’ve had no problems.. I have comfort drops for if I should need them but I would recommend this clinic and Deepak makes you feel so at ease. My vision is wonderful…. GO FOR IT! I’m so glad I did ?

I cannot recommend viewpoint highly enough. Unfortunately, I have had experience with two other ophthalmic surgeons and their clinics who came highly recommended. I had a lens replacement in my right eye with very poor results. The lens had to be replaced by another surgeon but again the results were disappointing. Deepak has now corrected this eye and done the lens exchange in my left. The results are brilliant. The personal care has been exceptional and his expectations are very high. The lens Deepak used has been free of all complications and I am in the sorry position to have compared 3 types firsthand! I only wish I had gone to viewpoint from the start. Thanks as well to Anne for all her help

I didn't know about this website so when I decided to take the plunge and get rid of the specs and contacts for ever, I asked my optician's advice. She said that at Viewpoint, I would be assessed, advised and treated by the same person - someone fully qualified to do so. I'm pleased to say she was right, but what she couldn't know was just how personal the service really is - totally professional and yet relaxed and friendly. Deepak Chitkara puts the patient at ease with his manner, his genuine concern (he will ring you before and after the treatment to check you are okay), and his professionalism. I found the treatment to be a strange experience, but completely painless, and the slight discomfort afterwards is no worse than that experienced if I'd worn contact lenses for too long in my very dry eyes. Less than 3 weeks after my treatment, my eyes are fine, I can see colours I never knew existed (must get the carpet cleaned), and I can both see in the distance and read in any conditions. My Minus Fives are now Twenty-Twentys, and even the spec-induced grooves down the sides of my nose are fading. This was my 50th birthday present to myself, albeit a few months late, and if truth be known I spent a small pension on it that probably should have been invested elsewhere, but, what the heck, what price perfect eyesight for someone who's been short-sighted since the age of twelve? As you can probably gather, I'm not just happy with Viewpoint Vision and Mr Chitkara, I'm ecstatic!

I was recommended to Viewpoint Vision by a friend, who had exactly the same procedure as myself. I have to say from start to finish I was not disappointed receiving first class treatments and service all the way through. The procedure was explained thoroughly to me leaving no doubt to what would be happening There was a contact available 24 hours a day if there was any worries following the procedure.The results for me were instant. I was driving 24 hours following the operation. If you are considering eye surgery I would certainly talk to Viewpoint Vision who I have to say have improved my quality of life I would certainly recommend Viewpoint Vision - Excellent Service and after care

Mr Chitkara performed Lasik surgery on my right eye last year. The left had already been treated by PRK at another clinic around eight years ago. This was not a pleasant experience, so therefore put me off having the other eye treated until I was introduced to Mr Chitkara. The difference was amazing. He immediately put me at ease and explained the procedure in detail and gave me a very thorough examination. I had no qualms then and decided to have the treatment. This went smoothly too with minimal discomfort. The after-care has been great too. Mr Chitkara even rang me the same evening after the procedure to make sure I was OK. I would recommend anyone who is considering laser eye surgery to contact Mr Chitkara for a consultation.

I had refractive lens exchange surgery on 16 November 2007. I say that date so clearly as it is a date I shall never forget and my life was totally changed. I am still thrilled each morning when I first peep open my eyes and can SEE. No more bumbling about looking for specs to use until I got up properly and put in my contact lens. For over 37 years these contact lens had been my "eyes" and cannot tell you what a release it is not to have to deal with them or consider them. But best of all, is the fantastic vision that I now have. I am still surprised with the new intensity of colours - that was a totally unexpected bonus. My sight is superb with details apparent to me that I never noticed before. All of this was through the efforts of Mr Deepak Chitkara at Viewpoint Vision. He is totally professional but was also very good at giving me the necessary information to give me the confidence to undergo this operation. Great job, Deepak, thank you very much! I have just returned from my latest check-up and remain delighted with my new eyes! Just this morning as I woke I wondered at the marvel of seeing properly first thing. Deepak offers a full follow-up service which leaves one feeling completely confident that you made the right choice.

The whole process was friendly, professional and painless. Dr Chitkara, Mr Nylander and all the staff who dealt with me were very helpful. 3 months after I was discharged my eyesight began to worst en so I contacted Dr Chitkara and went to a consultation and he found the membranes holding my new lenses had started healing over my new lenses so he lasered them (which again was painless and took minutes) with no extra charge and my eyesight is good as new again. Altogether a first class service. Thank you all at Viewpoint Vision.

I had my eyes done in Nov 2006, it is unbelievable, before i had this done i could not see without my glasses now i am totally free from glasses,my life is completely different and 100 times better. The service at Viewpoint Vision is excellent from start to finish and there after.if you needs this surgery don't wait and suffer with glasses
