Mr. Glenn Carp has undergone one of the most rigourous training programs of any laser eye surgeon in the UK. Mr. Carp, who had laser eye surgery with Professor Reinstein in 2006, was born and educated in South Africa. He qualified as a doctor in 1996 in Johannesburg.
In regards to his own experience as a patient, Mr. Carp says:
“I will not lie and say I wasn’t nervous. But I watched over 500 surgeries and was confident having seen the results. The surgery was over and done with before I knew it and the recovery was very quick. I was back at work the next day and operating just three days after surgery. I can now see 20/12.”
He began his career in Ophthalmology as an Ophthalmic Senior House Officer, followed by a year spent as a Research Officer in Ophthalmology at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.
In 2000, he commenced his specialist registrar training at the St John Eye Hospital in Johannesburg, Africa’s largest eye hospital. Mr. Carp was the recipient of the Tetski Patterson Award for clinical research and received the Elli Dahan registrar of the year award in recognition of his outstanding performance over the four years of specialist training.

Testimonials
After a lot of research and recommendations I chose to have corrective laser eye surgery (LASIK) done at London Vision Clinic. From the moment I picked up the phone to make the initial enquiry I was extremely impressed. Every member of staff was very professional and courteous. The initial screening and ophthalmic examination was very comprehensive and the optometrists were superb. My surgeon Mr Glenn Carp was excellent, putting me at ease from the very beginning so that on the day of surgery I had no concerns at all. The aftercare has also been brilliant and I now have excellent vision. I have no hesitations whatsoever in recommending this clinic and Mr Carp.
I was absolutely amazed by the level of customer service that I received. I have never known any level of customer service like this before. Katy was my patient carer and she was fabulous arranging everything from my medical care to even coming to see me on my day of treatment bringing me a coffee and taking me to my taxi. I have thrown away my distance glasses AND reading glasses at age 59! I can’t recommend Mr Carp more highly, he put me right at ease. Thank-you.
I have worn glasses since I was 13 and tried to tolerate contacts for the last 15 years. I researched various clinics and spoke to friends who had already had surgery before deciding to go with The London Vision Clinic. I could not be happier with the result! From the moment I arrived for surgery all the staff were great, as they should be! The morning after surgery I had a post op appointment with Mr Carp and already my results were 20/16 in one eye and 20/12.5 in the other. I did have some dryness before surgery which was worse in the immediate weeks after surgery. The discomfort was less than tired eyes with contacts and drops retified completely. I am now 1 year on and have just had my annual check. My current vision is 20/12.5 in both eyes and the odd letter on the 20/10 line! I have a tiny amount of dryness on one eye I am told but not that I am aware. I did not suffer any star-bursts or halos and I have no problems with night vision. If you are staying in a hotel post op check-in before you have the surgery as the bright foyer lights are difficult immediately after surgery!!! Fantastic result – well worth every penny!
I had my surgery last week…..what a guy – better than 20/20 vision, and he has such a fantastic manner the whole process was even enjoyable. London Vision Clinic is well worth the extra in my (new and fantastic) eyes!! Previously -5 with astigmatism.
I’ve just had my 1 month follow-up with Mr Glenn Carp, and my eyes have turned out superbly. I have gone from -12d (20/800-ish) to 20/12 overall and 20/16 in each eye.He was very professional, very friendly and I felt very comfortable with him. He has had his eyes corrected, so he knew the process both as a surgeon and as a patient. When it came to the actual surgery, he was reassuring and gave a lot of information so I never wondered what was coming next – I knew what was coming!Mr Carp is typical of the London Vision Clinic – everyone there is absolutely top-calibre and obviously take delight in making people able to see again!Not only would I recommend him, and the London Vision Clinic, but I already have to two people!
