Site For Eyes

Best thing I have ever done! I felt very reassured by my optician's recommendation of site for eyes, and also by the vast amount of information available on both their website and in the free information booklet (which can be ordered direct from their website). I stumbled across this website among many others while researching options, and everything already said here is true. The optometrist and reception staff are of as high a quality as Mr Danjoux himself. I had my surgery almost a year ago, following a consultation about 3 months earlier (I arranged it to be so late, as I was based in another part of the UK and wanted to be able to stay with my parents for at least a week after the surgery). The procedure was exactly as described in their booklet, so I knew what was happening at all times, and Mr Danjoux also explains the process as he is doing it. Immediately after the surgery I knew it had worked, but could not be sure how successfully, because I was wearing the strange goggle contraptions for 24 hours. The next day, I had 20/20 vision, a week later even better, and it has remained that way ever since. The only side effect I had was that for the 6 months following surgery I needed to use shop-bought eye drops first thing in the morning because my eyes dried up a lot overnight. I could have dealt with that for the rest of my life, because the positives were so good, but even that disappeared after 6 months. I would wholeheartedly recommend site for eyes, especially to those who have more complicated prescriptions, as I did. Ultralase did not fill me with confidence, and even the websites for Optimax and Optical Express put me off, with their "prices from" tagline. With site for eyes, you know what you're paying from the very beginning, and I paid less than I would have paid at Ultralase anyway. For more basic prescriptions, you could probably pay less and not need the security of being in an eye hospital with a trusted pioneer. For somebody who struggled to get past the top line of an optician's chart, this has been absolutely life-changing, and doing it aged 21 means I'll have years of use before I may need glasses again, should my eyes deteriorate in my 40s/50s. I love it, and think every day how lucky I am that this procedure was possible, to take away the expense of astigmatic contact lenses, the occasional pair of glasses and sight test. The surgery will have paid for itself in about 8 years, based on my previous expenses! To sum up - look around, and see where your instincts take you, but site for eyes is going to be a comfortable option for anybody because of the professionalism and history behind those doors. But easy prescriptions could consider cheaper options.

Site for Eyes was highly recommended to me by a friend. Although I live in Whitley Bay I decided to travel to Sunderland as my eyesight is obviously important and I wanted the best treatment possible. And this is what I got. The consultation was with Mr Danjoux himself. He gave me a mine of information, pointed out any risks and I was able to make an informed decision. I was given a booklet which went through the whole procedure. The staff were helpful and extremely reassuring. They were friendly and welcoming. The procedure itself was totally painless and the aftercare second to none-brilliant! I had no post op pain at all and no discomfort. I had regular check ups and free lubricating drops for the year. My vision was perfect from the start and monovision worked perfectly for me. I am 59 years old and can see distance and read without specs-brilliant! I only wish I had done it sooner. I would recommend Mr Danjoux and Site for Eyes to anyone.

I am extremely grateful for the advice, treatment and aftercare received by Mr Danjoux and all his team. I have had a refractive lens exchange to both eyes and Lasek excimer laser to the right one.I am no longer wearing contacts or glasses. It has changed my life !

I would like to thank Mr Danjoux and his team for my treatment and the care shown to me both before, during and following surgery. The results are fantastic. My sight is amazing. The procedure is painless and remarkably quick for such incredible results . Thanks again to all the team.

I cant praise Site for Eyes and their staff enough. I have been very short sighted since my early teens (-10) and needed my glasses from the moment i woke up until i took them off to go to sleep. Not anymore!! my vision is brilliant, and i dont even need glasses for driving...what a difference. I need glasses for reading but can get by without when out and about. From start to finish the treatment i received from Mr Danjoux and his reception staff was second to none. The procedure is relatively pain free and you can see straight away. The only aftercare needed was drops, no pain relief at all. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend the treatment to anyone.

I am short sighted and have excellent reading ability without the need for glasses, My surgeon, Mr Danjoux suggested I had surgery on my left eye only which would allow me still to have the reading ability without assistance and explained that my vision would balance out between both eyes. At first after the surgery I thought this hadn't worked properly, but I was very impatient, each day my site got better and after a couple of weeks my site in my left eye became much stronger and now some 9 months on my visions is perfect - I now enjoy life without having to wear glasses/lenses and still am able to read without assistance. Mr Danjoux is a lovely man and his staff at Site for Eyes are extremely professional and supportive, the after-care I received was second to none and I would recommend anyone verging on the idea of eye surgery to go ahead - it is definitely is not a painful experience and the benefits gained afterwards are immense. Thanks to Mr Danjoux and his team I have my life back, eye surgery has given me so much more self-confidence. Thank you!!

I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Danjoux and the Site for Eyes clinic to anyone considering laser surgery. I am 47 and have worn contact lenses and glasses since I was 15. I had always thought that laser surgery was not for me, just the thought of it was frightening, but in the summer of 2011 I thought it wouldn't hurt to do a bit of research. I had consultations with 2 clinics in Newcastle, before seeing my optician who recommended Mr Danjoux by name. The thing I most liked about Site for Eyes was that the initial consultation was with Mr Danjoux himself, he gave clear, unbiased advice, advising that I could expect 'quite a good result' with lasik surgery, but also explaining all of the risks. So I decided to take the plunge and had lasik treatment on both eyes in November 2011. On the day of the surgery I was very nervous, but also really excited. As expected, the surgery wasn't painful at all, just uncomfortable, only taking about 20 minutes. My vision seemed perfect after the surgery, I couldn't believe I'd actually done it! Over the next few weeks my vision regressed slightly, due to my age and reasonably high original prescription, and Mr Danjoux suggested I had more treatment, but to 1 eye only. So I had more surgery to my left eye in July 2012. The aftercare I have received since my original treatment in November 2011 has been excellent. I have been back several times for checkups and sight tests, the last being on Wednesday 9th January. My original prescription was -4.25 plus astigmatism in both eyes.I now have overall 20/20 vision, with my right eye remaining fractionally short sighted so I won't need reading glasses for the forseeable future. I am over the moon with the results, and appreciate my new vision everyday. Thank-you to Mr Danjoux, Anita and the rest of the team at Site for Eyes.

My age is 62 , problem was age related presbyopia [ long-sightedness ] combined with very early cataract formation of which I was essentially unaware . I have just thrown away all my glasses , what a joy !!!. I now have better than 20:20 vision in both eyes thanks to Mr Danjoux ,who was superb . He and all his staff were outstanding in the excellent care I received , I cannot thank them enough . My results are a testament to the skill and expertise I witnessed , meticulous attention to detail combined with a relaxed and stress free environment , knowing you are being treated in a centre of uncompromising excellence .

I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone as the treatment, patient care and service I received were outstanding. I am truly delighted with the result from the surgery. Thanks to the exceptional skill and expertise of Mr Danjoux and his team I have 20/20 vision and no longer have to suffer from the miserable side effects of wearing contact lenses.

Since my treatment (August 2012) my eyesight has got better and better. One eye had been over prescribed with glasses and so took longer to adjust after being lasered. Eyesight is brilliant and so good not to have to pick up glasses first thing in the morning. Yes it's pricey compared to others (which I visited) but it's worth paying more for the extra expertise and facilities. Whole process was pain free and carefully talked through (like being at the dentist really) and after care has been brilliant. I've been very impressed and would recommend Site for Eyes to everyone!
