Testimonials
Mr Carr is a first class surgeon, in both skill and personality. He made me feel completely at ease before, during and after the surgery. I was confident, as was my mum, that we were with a very conscientous surgeon as we had seen him not perform the surgery on another lady before us. When my turn came, I was a little tense myself since I thought I might not be able to qualify for the surgery. He immediately made me feel at ease, talking to me about my job and his encounters with others who shared my occupation, and then talking me through the surgery beforehand. In the surgery room itself, his manner was extremely professional and calming, as he talked me through the operation and talked to me about myself. After the surgery, he made sure I was OK before moving on to the next person.Overall, this operation made me very happy both for the fact that I now have 20/20 vision and that I had a very kind and skillful surgeon taking care of me. I can see now (pun intended) why he is the Kingston branch’s favourite surgeon – with a man like him taking care of your eyes, you will be in the best of hands!
I would definitely recommend Mr Carr to do your surgery. Very friendly chap who put me at ease straight away. Explained everything in a good amount of detail.During the procedure he was again calm and put me at ease, whilst talking through everything that was happening and about to happen.The results are amazing.
Jonathan Carr is absolutely fantastic!I had LASIK Intralase with Wavefront done by him yesterday morning and my vision when I woke up this morning was AMAZING! I had my first check-up and I was told that my vision is better now than it was before when I had my glasses and I can definitely see it!Jonathan called me in before surgery for my consultation and he explained step by step what would be happening during the procedure. He explained that there is a 1 in 2000 chance that he won’t like the look of the flap, either it would be too thin, too thick or not enough of a hinge but if this did happen treatment would be done a few months later. He asked if I had any questions and I didnt because Id already done so much research on it.It was my turn to go in for surgery and I laid on the bed and anesthetic drops were put into my eyes he then said something about the wavefront machine and that with his obsessvie compulsion he wanted to use another computer, I was extremey nervous at this point so wasn’t really paying attention was just trying to breathe and think of something else. He seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing and very confident and I put my trust in him very easily.It was all ready and the bed was spun round to my left and one eye was covered over, he spoke to me and explained that he and the nurse would hold my right eye open and I would feel a little pressure and would be looking through a keyhole, this happened but I didn’t feel any pain, he then said that the laser is cutting the flap, told me when it was half way and then when it was done my vision had now dissppeared in the right eye. He then covered my right eye and did the same on my left.Once the flaps had been cut he then spun the bed round to the right of the machine and put some more drops into my eyes. Again I had one eye covered and one open and I had to focus on a red/orangy coloured light, it was very blurry but could just see it. He said to focus on it as much as I could whilst he was fiddling with my eye, he was opening the flap and my eye was moving but I couldnt feel a thing. He then said the laser is finding you and then I smelt the burning of the laser but it wasnt that bad. Once the laser had done its job he replaced the flap and I could see him wiping my eye with a white swob but again I couldnt feel a thing. The same thing was carried out on my left eye and then more eye drops were put in and that was it, it was over.I couldnt believe it, I worked myself up so much and really shouldn’t have done. Jonathan then took me into another room and checked my eye upclose and said everything was fine.I was so pleased with the way he carried out the procedure, he explained everything step by step and very clearly. He is a very kind friendly man and I would 100% recommend him to everyone.
Having only had my laser surgery three days ago I thought I’d write something before I forget! Mr Carr was fantastic. He explained everything thoroughly and I was out of the actual surgery within 15 painless minutes. He spoke with me the whole time at explained each stage which was very reassuring. I slept for a few hours and was just so overwhelmed when I woke to find that my sight was not only improved but better than I have ever had! I wish I’d have done this years ago and would recommend it to ANYONE. Great surgeon, great result….
Although very unhappy as Mr Carr would not perform the Lasik surgery I’d been saving to have done for the past 10 years, I have to be grateful to him for spotting the tiny cataract that could have been missed by other surgeons. Still VERY disappointed though as I was so excited to be able to have clear vision for the first time in 25 years.
