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.

Excellent service, kept informed all the way. Very professional approach. Would recommend the centre to anyone who wants corrective treatment/surgery. Staff at all levels friendly & professional.
Saj Khan
As one of the Corneal and Refractive surgeons at Centre for Sight, Monday 25th February 2008 will be remembered as the day of my personal liberation - as only someone who has suffered the hindrance/restrictions of contact lens or glasses wear could ever relate to! I have now had the complete laser vision correction patient experience. Mr Sheraz Daya, my colleague and mentor, performed IntraLASIK wavefront treatment on both eyes for me. Having been in glasses and lenses for over 20 years, with my most recent prescription (preop) being -2.50/-0.50x160 and -2.75DS, best corrected vision of 20/15 in both eyes, I spent the last 2 excruciatingly frustrating weeks in glasses. I arrived with eager enthusiasm on the day of my surgery, excited at the prospect of reducing/eliminating my need for glasses/contact lenses, having guided and supported many patients through the same process. After all the usual and repetitive checks (yes even for one their own surgeons) ensuring the correct patient was having the correct treatment on the correct eyes, preoperative anaesthetic and antibiotic drops, and cleaning of my eyes, I was soon taken through to the laser room. Having told patients hundreds of times what to expect based on repeated patients' feedback and objective examinations, I can now describe the surgery from personal experience; As I was laid down on the bed, more anaesthetic and antibiotic drops were applied (and repeated many times throughout the procedure) I was asked my details AGAIN - someone could get the impression that we at Centre for Sight are obsessive about patient safety! There was a sensation of pressure but NO PAIN as the Intralase femtosecond laser was used to precisely create my the flaps in both eyes one after the other My eyes were cleaned again (and more drops!) The rest of the procedure was also completed one eye at a time A sticky surgical drape was applied around my eye to keep the area sterile There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as a clip (speculum) was gently inserted to hold the eyelids open There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as the laser peformed iris recognition to ensure the correct patient and correct eye (again!) There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as my cornea was marked to help later flap repositioning There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as my flap was lifted - just moving lights that showed that my eye was being moved There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as my corneal thickness was checked under the flap to confirm the thickness of the flap created and that there was enough tissue to perform the laser treatment There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as the excimer laser reshaped my corneal tissue to effect the change in corneal power - just the flashing red light I was asked to watch There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as the flap was replaced, - I could feel the nice cool saline being used to smooth the flap back into place and immediately could tell an improvement in my vision There was NO DISCOMFORT, NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN as the edges of the flap were dried off and secured More drops and then the second eye was also done exactly the same way At the end of the procedure I sat up and not only could I read the clock on the wall but could also read the writing at the bottom of the TV monitor - no wonder so many people experience tears of joy at this stage!! Then on went my protective goggles and I was led into the recovery area for 20 minutes before my post surgery check; 20/20 comfortably in both eyes ! I then went home and slept off the effects of the mild sedative for a few hours, and when I woke up my vision was even clearer with only mild ghosting when looking directly at a point source of light. Still NO DISCOMFORT, NO PAIN The next morning I returned for my first check up; right eye 20/12-1, left eye 20/12-2! essentially 2 lines better than 20/20 at day 1!!! Eyes white and comfortable. Completely comfortable but aware of mild fluctuations related to the expected dryness, I am on drops every 2hours while awake this week and only continuing to get better Although I know our results are excellent, experiencing the wonder of this procedure first hand is literally making me want to drag people off the street to have this done - this is undoubtedly the most wonderful thing I have done for myself since as far back as I can remember!!! I will feedback more as things continue to settle, but the whole path from assessment to surgery will soon be viewable as a test-by-test step-by-step video diary on our website, www.centreforsight.com

Excellent professional service from the whole team.
Chantal Halford
Definitely think that it is worth paying the extra over the "chain" laser centres. You get what you pay for with peace of mind. Have no hesitation recommending Centre for Sight to my friends who have used me as the guinea pig! Thanks a million. Hope I get out of the habit of reaching for my glasses in the morning soon!
Angela Pullen
I found the whole experience from first consultation to first follow-up very efficient and positive and the staff friendly and understanding. I am delighted with my "new" sight!
Keren Moore
Very pleased with the service and care of all.
Amanda Haran
Excellent service all round. Have made several recommendations since. Could have done just done with extra tranquiliser if possible for after treatment! (a bit of a wimp!!)

Mr Sheraz Daya and his excellent team at the Centre for Sight have given me the precious gift of a glasses-free existence. As an ophthalmologist myself, I can say that this gift was delivered with all the experience, accuracy, precision and safety that I would demand for my own and my patients' eyes. Having been assessed as suitable for IntraLASIK treatment, I underwent the procedure with the utmost confidence that I would achieve the best possible visual outcome, with very little risk. This has since proven to be the case. You only have one set of eyes, and no matter what reason you are undertaking refractive surgery for, the choice of institution should be of the utmost importance. I cannot recommend Centre for Sight highly enough.
Amanda Donaldson
As always, Mr Daya and his team have been most professional and proficient in their work and patient care both before and after the procedure.
Thomas Gellatly
The entire experience at Centre for Sight has been excellent. Everything has been explained in understandable detail up until surgery. Surgery was quick, pain free and I was amazed at my vision immediately after surgery. Aftercare was also explained well and easy to carry out.
