1. Review of Centre for Sight Clinic
Centre for Sight is a long-standing and renowned eye surgery clinic, with three practices in London, Surrey and West Sussex. Its leading consultant eye surgeon, Mr Sheraz Daya, founded the clinic way back in 1996 with a clear mission: provide exemplary eye care to patients in facilities that are purpose-built with their needs in mind.
What makes Centre for Sight different? Centre for Sight is based on Mr Daya’s vision that better surroundings can provide a higher standard of care. Today patients get to enjoy a spa-like or luxury hotel experience, rather than the dread of most hospital surgeries.
Is there anything else I should know? As you’d expect then, this clinic also comes with the price tag that accompanies a five-star experience. Yes, the facilities are kitted out with high-end diagnostic tech and quality lenses, backed up by a team of highly trained staff. But you leave all the fancy atmosphere behind the moment you step outside the clinic, and it won’t be a priority for everyone.

Immediate improvement in vision both near and distant. Need for spectacles eliminated.
Amanda Griffiths
I have been impressed by the friendly and helpful attitude of the Reception Staff. The Doctors have treated me with sensitivity, humour and professionalism. I was more than happy to trust them with the procedure when the time came.
Denise Tilley
Before the procedure all my questions were answered and I felt really confident that I was in good hands.I was made to feel very relaxed despite my initial nerves on the day. The whole procedure was carried out quickly and efficiently and more importantly painlessly. The aftercare was excellent and I would like to thank the consultant and all his staff for their kindness.
Joanna Holdaway
Preop consultation: Very thorough, and I felt that I had enough time with the surgeon to ask any questions. The procedure was well explained and all my question were answered. Surgery: The surgeon and staff were very friendly and were consistently providing support and talking-me through what was happening. After care: The procedure was explained well, thouhg it would have been nice to be told a little more abouth what to expect the first night after the operation, eg, stinging eyes, blood-shot eyes, etc. But overall very good. Thank you.
Hazel Fearnley
I was very worried about having it done, as I have a phobia of operations and needles. The whole team were great. I felt very released and at ease. The only thing I felt was a bit of pressure from the ring to keep the eye in place, it was over in minutes and I could see the clock on the wall straight away! - This is great because of my strong prescription.

I had tissue-saving laser eye surgery on 6 June and, 5 months later, I am absolutely delighted with the results. On the day after surgery, my long-distance vision was fantastic - I could see detail for which I would previously have needed binoculars, never mind glasses! At that stage, my close vision was quite fuzzy and I was getting a 'halo' effect around bright lights but I had been warned to expect this, so I did not panic, and within a few days it started to improve. Now, 5 months later, I do not get any 'halo-ing' at all, and need reading glasses only for tasks like threading a needle or reading exceptionally small print. My distance vision is still excellent. I would definitely recommend laser surgery at Centre for Sight for anybody with very short sight.
matthew cole
my experience at centre for sight was very pleasant and i was delighted with the results of my surgery. i would recommend centre for sight wholeheartedly to anyone who is fed up with wearing glasses.
Matthew Griffiths
I found that the friendly yet professional approach to my treatment was very reassuring. The treatment was virtually painless and was over before i knew it.
Helen Hibbert
For the first few hours after surgery i found the pain quite severe even with my eyes closed. It was more of a stinging sensation than the slight grittiness i had been told to expect. However after a few hours and a sleep plus paracetamol the pain went and there was no more discomfort. Overall I am very pleased with my treatment and happy with my vision. Thank you very much.
Rachel Shaw
My experience at the Centre for sight was excellent from start to finish. All the staff have been freindly, helpfull, and extremely efficient and the best of all I can See!!!! Thank you
Joanne Muddeman
I had tissue saving laser eye surgery a month ago, and have gone from -3.75 and -4.25 to 20/20 vision in each eye, confirmed today at my one month check-up. I found the initial consultation thorough, and it was good to be able to meet Mr Daya in person and have him address my questions. The surgery itself was discomforting, but not painful, and I had a small amount of mild stinging immediately after the operation, while waiting to have my vision and flaps checked. The post-operative pain was very slight (and believe me, my pain threshold is low!), I would describe it as not as bad as the stinging you get when peeling an onion! I did have a very red left eye for a week, due to bruising from the clamp placed in the eye to hold the eyelids open, but there was no pain from this. Occasionally I had mild itching, but I suspect this could have been due to all the eye drops as the itching diminished as the eye drop regime lessened. I have always found the staff at the centre to be pleasant, friendly and helpful, and on the one occasion I used the out-of-hours telephone service, I had a prompt response from Mr Giledi. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Centre for Sight, and although the surgery is expensive, I think that it is certainly well worth paying the extra as I cannot fault the Centre for Sight on any aspect of their care.
