   Day of surgery replacement lens both eyes. All the staff were brilliant. Worked well and complimented each other. Firstly everything was checked, checked and checked again. I had several Drops in my eyes and 1 and 2 marked on my forehead. I was having a long site Lens in my dominant eye and near site and reading in my left eye. This was the best plan to meet my needs. I was taken upstairs and Tom and his assistant checked and checked again. Put a wrist band on me and more drops in my eyes. I was taken into Theatres and Igor Occhipitini was my surgeon. It only took about 1 minutes for both eyes to be complete. Great care was taken to protect from cross contamination as both eyes done. I had no discomfort at all. I was taken t the discharge room where the aftercare was demonstrated to me. I was given drops and all the instructions on a sheet to refer to. I came home with eye protectors and drops. After about 10 hours I could see clearly. I went for a check up day after surgery. Have 20/20 vision. I can see distance and reading both clearly and was passed to drive. St this stage I have a phone call a week after and recal in a months time. It was worth every penny. No discomfort, brilliant sight and no glasses I am truly thrilled with the expertise and quality replacement lens. Thank you all at OpticalExpress Southampton

   Today I had my 1 month post operative final check up. The appointment was easily made with clear communication. I was reviewed by Kimberley. She guided me through the questions and showed empathy, was professional yet also demonstrated humour and reassurance throughout her consultation. I then had some further checks with Oscar who I saw previously for my pre operative checks. His consultation was very thorough and again vey professional. He also demonstrated empathy and provided me with reassurance that my procedure had gone well and was progressing most satisfactorily. Thank you to the whole team at Optical Express, Southampton. You have all provided me with excellent patient care and guided me through the whole lens replacement procedure. Well done. This is definitely the best health interventions I have ever made.

   Fantastic from start to finish. Olly was amazing at my opening meeting, he was really friendly and helpful with any questions, Priya was great, she gave me my options and how much it all was and the features and benefits for different lenses. I had double lens replacements and still can’t believe how quick and easy the process is and that I never need to wear glasses again. Every member of staff at Optical Express in Southampton is lovely, so helpful, they can’t do enough to make you feel really at ease and comfortable at all times. My surgeon was Mr Venkata Avadanham, I had a video call with him a couple of days before the op, he made sure I was comfortable with everything and answered any questions. The operation was really quick and you don’t feel any pain, just little flashes and then within an hour it’s done and you’re home, immediately and for a day or so afterwards you’re really light sensitive but that does wear off. You take drops for a few weeks and straight away after the op you don’t need your glasses anymore. Honestly it’s incredible and worth every penny. For anyone considering this op, go for it, you won’t regret it.

   I had an exceptional experience being treated for LASIK surgery in OE and I would highly recommend it to everyone who has been contemplating whether to get it done. The actual surgery itself only lasted around 15 minutes and it went so smoothly - thank you to Dr.Sajjad and the surgical team in MK for doing such an incredible job. My vision is better than 20/20 now, which is way beyond my expectations - a special thanks to my optometrist Priya for helping me take this step.

   I underwent LASIK treatment yesterday and had my 24hrs review this morning. I can honestly say it’s been life-changing. The whole process in Southampton clinic, from the consultation to the follow up was smooth and reassuring. The actual procedure was much quicker than expected. 6hrs after treatment, my vision had already improved, and today I am seeing clearly without glasses or contact lenses for the first time in years. The team at Southampton was exceptional, my optometrist Oscar, and his team Ollie, Justine, Anita & Yasmin, they provided excellent guidance and aftercare. Special thanks to the surgeon Dr. Luca Antico & the lovely surgery staff. Highly recommend to anyone considering it, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

   Had Lasek surgery and it’s completely life changing. Well informed throughout the process by the team at Southampton. Finance options well explained, the day of surgery went completely smoothly, no issues at all. At its worst the sensation was comparable to having grit in your eye and some light sensitivity which cleared up after 2 or so days. Now my vision is better than 20/20. Thoroughly recommend!

   I had lens replacement on Tuesday 25th October and things couldn’t have gone better. From arrival through to surgery and departure the extensive team in Southampton that saw me through my nervy experience were all excellent. The surgery is a very strange experience but it was painless and lasted only around 20 minutes. The outcome for me was amazing! During the first day I experienced some discomfort and minor headaches but paracetamol and eye drops did their job. I saw halo’s on the first evening after surgery but by the following morning these had gone and my vision was already 20:20 and I could read and see long distance - the surgery already seemed well worth it - truly life changing! I am on day 3 and whilst my eyes are a little sore it is nothing major and totally manageable. Having the surgery was a big decision but is also one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thanks to the whole team at Optical Express Southampton for the life changing treatment and fantastic service you have given me!

   Whole experience of lens replacement surgery was extremely good from start to finish. Every member of the staff was polite, considerate and caring. All my eye scans at the assessment stage were emailed to me automatically (not sure how useful that was, but it was impressive!) All that was done to me was explained carefully first, and the actual procedure was painless and not nearly as scary as I was expecting. I had a checkup the following day and there are further checks later. I would certainly recommend this particular branch to anyone for a good experience of eye surgery. And finally two days on from surgery and my sight is brilliant and I’m thrilled!

   I can’t fault the professionalism, attention to detail and care provided by Optical Express Southampton. I had laser surgery to have multi-focal lenses fitted last week, and my eyesight is now amazing - better than 20/20 - and glasses are a thing of the past! All of the staff are friendly, highly knowledgeable and helpful and the whole experience was exceptional. Thank you.
