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.

Centre For Sight Reviews

Wow! I can see. No glasses, no contacts. It is great. It was a good experience all the way through.
Peter Alexander
The whole experience has been excellent. I now have great vision and marvel each day when I wake up that I can see. Sport and outdoor activity are so much easier. Thank you to everyone at Centre for Sight.
Martin Jackson
Although I wasn't a very good patient the staff were patient and understanding with me and did their best to keep me relaxed. They explained what they were doing every step of the way which helped. I was in some discomfort on the day of surgery but by the following day it had all gone.
Karen Ezrati
I was very short sighted and after many years of hesitation took the plunge in June. I didn't expect to be free of glasses completely but having a -9 prescription would have been happy with any improvement. I can now see perfectly...I mean perfectly! No glasses, contact lenses, nothing! The treatment was superb, the staff could not have been friendly. I wish I had done it years ago! My heartfelt thanks to Mr Daya and all the wonderful staff!

Where do I Start? Left eye -6.5, right -4.5 (with mild astigmatism). Started wearing glasses when I was 11 years old (that was 37 years ago)eventually progressing to disposables in my early 20's. I'd been thinking about laser surgery for about 5 years, but stories of variable success rates with accompanying pain and discomfort for protracted periods all served to disuade me from taking the plunge. The article that appeared in the Daily Mail earlier this year was the turning point, that and the testimonies on this web sight. I cogitated while on summer hols in Turkey until finally the benefits it could bring to scuba diving convinced me to go for a consultation on the 2nd September with the treatment on the 3rd, assuming I got on ok on the 2nd. It's invidious to single out staff for special praise as they are all excellent at The Centre for Sight, however, as the first person I spoke to and subsequently met, Nicky you are a great advert for the centre.I'd also mention Carolina, who's also been great - both helpful and informative with a nice line in humour. Mr.Daya gave me the go ahead - being both reassuring and realistic about the likely outcome recommending the tissure saving procedure everything using lasers. Saturday arrived and I was extremely nervous - still the sedatives I was given shortly after arrival certainly helped. I was at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead for about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish although it didn't seem as long as that. A succession of eye drops and finally to the operating theatre. The procedure itself was a bit unnerving but pain free and only a little uncomfortable. When I sat up the first thing I saw was the clock - WOW! After a brief stay in the recovery room it was time to go home. That's when the discomfort really started as the anaesthetic began to wear off. I'd describe it as feeling as if you've had soap squirted in your eyes and at the same time someone is jabbing you in the eye with a pencil! That lasted for about 4 hours and sleep, as recommended, did not come at all readily. Once the discomfort subsided I drifted off into sleep and as morning arrived I opened my eyes and pain/discomfort free caught my breath. After approaching 40 years I could now see with no artificial aid. It's now 5 weeks on and I have 20.20 vision in my right eye and 20.15 in my left. I'm also one of the lucky ones in that my long sight, which has been creeping up on me over the past 3 years or so, has also been substantially improved to the point where I don't need reading glasses. My only slight citicism is a mild halo effect around artificial lights but I'm told this should alleviate over the next few months. All in all an absolutely fantastic result and I'm still pinching myself to make sure it isn't a dream. If anyone reading this is thinking of having the procedure, it may not be cheap, but they are your eyes and I would unhesitatingly strongly recommend The Centre for Sight. Thankyou all at the Centre.

Staff very professional and friendly. Had no worries about the surgery, although there was quite a lot of waiting around.
emma chandler
Wow - what can I say? the results from surgery really are fantastic. I had my consultation on the Wednesday afternoon, followed by the surgery on Saturday. I was very nervous prior to surgery but was made to feel relaxed and reassured by all the Centre for Sight staff. I just hope that you are all able to offer my husnad the same miraculous results.
Caroline Carty
The whole experience has been amazing.I was extremely apprehensive about the whole procedure but the staff were reassuring and comforting.The surgery was pain free and quick.Recovery period was also quick. I cannot praise the team and Mr. Sheraz Daya enough. It has been life changing.
Robert Bartlett
I have suffered with poor eyesight in excess of 20 years and relied solely on contact lenses for the past 15 years. I became embarrassed when wearing glasses due to the strength of the lenses. This has been re-confirmed during the last 3 weeks by having to wear glasses again before surgery. 24 hours post surgery I feel tentative but can see clearly which is wonderful. all the staff and surgeon Mr Giledi, were fabulous, especially Carolina who was caring, knowledgeable and very courteous. Thank you all very much.
Alan Vine
I am after 12 hours pleased to be able to see clearly but do have itchy eyes at present. All the staff are very helpful and most professional.
