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
Alastair Mackeown
I chose Centre For Sight because my optician recommended it as somewhere that patients are sometimes referred to if surgery has gone wrong at another location, and I personally felt much more comfortable with a surgeon who was attached to a leading hospital.
I am posting this message because I was so impressed by Mr. Daya’s professionalism and his stringent ethics.
I was turned down for LASIK surgery because of the combination of my pupil size (over 7mm) and corneal thickness (450 micrometers). I had done extensive research myself before going to my consultation, and as soon as the readings came up, I knew I was probably not a candidate for surgery.
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to know that if a surgeon says that you are perfectly safe to have LASIK that you can trust them. I thought it would be useful to anyone considering surgery, even if they do not wish to pay the extra money for the Centre For Sight, that it is well worth having a consultation with them anyway.
Some clinics are happy to operate on almost anyone, which is not good. Mr. Daya will give you an honest opinion as to whether LASIK is suitable for you.
Good luck to everyone who is able to have it done!

Absolutely amazing… I feel Wonderful!!! The improvement in my vision is miraculous after my IntraLASIK Surgery with Ms. Marcela Espinosa-Lagana.
Even after the first night, it all felt like wearing contact lenses – just with 100% less of the hassle and discomfort. I can now look out for my kids – 2 very young children without fumbling around for glasses. And that’s the main reason why I had it.
My patient journey from the time of enquiry to surgery and post-surgery has exceeded my expectation.
Having worn contact lenses for 20 years, I realised the condition of my eyes were deteriorating. They could only keep deteriorating, there were very marked dryness and blood shot in my eyes having had that much contact lens wear. I chose Centre for Sight because they are very reputable.
After doing much research on the internet, I understood that the number of people who do IntraLasik usually do not get to meet everyone who will be doing the procedure before making the decision. At Centre for Sight, I met my surgeon from the very first consultation – which I thought was the ideal for me!!!
Ms. Espinosa saw me for 3 months before doing the procedure and wanted to make sure it was 100% safe before we started. All the staff has been friendly and experience was wonderful.
Experience was amazing!

My vision after the Graft procedure at Centre for Sight is fantastic – even after the day of surgery it was perfect. I was pleasantly surprised how it has changed as we come along since the day since my initial graft.
I found Centre for Sight very good. I can’t see any fault at all and I have recommended it to other Keratoconus patients back at home in Dublin. I was referred to Centre for Sight by a surgeon in Dublin. There was no looking back after that.
The Corneal Grafts (Femtosecond Keratoplasty) procedure has affected my life tremendously well and if it was not for Mr. Sheraz Daya and the staff, I would be in a complete mess. I would have lost my eye sight for good.
He has transformed my sight completely. I suffered from Keratoconus and if I did not have the graft done on both eyes, I would have not been able to see at all.
My experience at Centre for Sight was fantastic or expected anything less. And from the time I have come in to the reception for the first time till my follow ups, the staff has been exceptional.
“I would like Centre for Sight to keep going as they are – do not change anything. They have a great facility in East Grinstead. It’s just fantastic.”
They have given their 110%, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. The service from general staff and theatre staff, Mr. Sheraz Daya and other surgeons – all are wonderful.
Centre for Sight is doing pretty special here. I always feel I am in safe hands and I like it. It’s perfect!!!

Absolutely amazing… Fantastic… Terrific… cant think of any other words… well I can think of many but Just “BLOWN AWAY”!!! Its the best thing I’ve got.
Words cannot describe how the Implantable Contact Lens Laser eye surgery at Centre for Sight has affected my life… I am blown away and quite tearful over it. I had my eye surgery because I had very poor vision. I used to wear contact lenses and have been wearing them since the age of year 13 and had to revert to wearing glasses.
As well as being terribly short sighted, my near vision was deteriorating and the contact lenses would not accommodate it. After which I was not confident wearing glasses at all.
Centre for Sight is local to me and has great reputation .My experience was fantastic, I am blown away… Amazing!!!
Just might burst into tears. Really Amazing.

Remarkably clear and sharp, I can’t believe it! Now I can exercise & keep fit without the annoying glasses – all thanks to Centre for Sight.
Now that we have finally had some decent summer weather I can wear my sunglasses and not have to think about putting in my contact lenses first. I can’t wait to go scuba diving again and this time actually see the fish and coral clearly!
I am an active person who likes to exercise, dive and ski – not ideally activities for someone you needs glasses.
My husband who is an Ophthalmologist insisted that only Mr Daya would be going near my eyes. He has an international reputation for achieving excellent results and is an innovator in the field of refractive surgery.
The whole team including the reception and nursing to staff made me feel at ease throughout my pre-operative visit as well as the day of the surgery.
I am quite squeamish when it comes to my eyes but Mr Daya took the time to explain the procedure in just the right amount of detail to allay my concerns. The environment was calm and the team was very skilled and organised.
I will be definitely recommending my other doctor colleagues who are considering LASIK to come to Centre For Sight.

Ecstatic! I was unsure of the outcomes, but now it’s better than expected. I have found Centre for Sight very good. Thank you Mr. Sheraz Daya!!
– The professionalism of the administration,
– the care, patience and encouragement of the technicians,
– the friendliness and kindness of the staff involved in every aspect of the procedure,
– the precision, empathy and confident skill of Mr. Sheraz Daya,
– the careful explanation and encouragement from Ms. Marcela Espinosa and Mr. Sheraz Daya during follow-up meetings
…all combined to make me confident to recommend Centre for Sight to others. I did not think I would be able to have Lens Exchange or expect this outcome. It is a relief and joy to feel such healing in my vision and of my peace of mind.
And yet I very nearly did not have the confidence to have the treatment due to my own fear based on the poor experience I had with other organization a year before attending Centre for Sight.Things that encouraged me to go ahead included:
– The clarity and promptness of Mr. Sheraz Daya’s answers to my written questions
– The encouragement given from two other patients and the thoughtfulness of the Centre in arrangement these conversations
A return to feeling ‘like me’ after an awful year when a previous operation elsewhere gave me an induced astigmatism.
I was looking for a consultant who would understand the difficult situation I had experienced after a mistake had been made and could confidently treat me. I feel exceptionally wonderful!

The experience at Centre for Sight was enlightening. Now I have perfect vision after years of wearing contact lenses and lately glasses. I am wearing sun glasses again which is fantastic!!! The procedure has been completely painless and the care during and after surgery was exemplary. I have no hesitation in recommending the centre.
