Site For Eyes

Would absolutely recommend to everyone. Surroundings are "understated" but my initial consultation with consultant Mr Danjoux gave me every confidence to proceed. He explained everything patiently and clearly and I had no questions. My own internet research beforehand helped enormously. I was extremely short sighted (-9) and I had both eyes done at the same time. The right eye needed retouching 4 months later to leave me with excellent sight in that eye and slightly poorer sight in the left - with the result that long distance vision is good and reading vision is good. An absolutely excellent result. Friendly and caring staff made the (horrible) experience bearable and I cannot praise Mr Danjoux's skills enough. I was right to pay more to have the very best machine and consultant. My previous consultations with Ultralase and Optimax made me very uneasy given my poor eyesight. I would give the clinic the highest rating.

Would recommend to everyone. The treatment was well explained. I had a problems with my left eye which required a different procedure due to the size of the socket but this was sorted out as soon as it healed. The procedure was painful (mainly the clamps to keep the eye open) but once completed I had no side effects at all. The staff were friendly and put me at ease. I wish I had it done earlier.

What’s particularly good about Site-for-Eyes is that you feel they’re not out there for a quick profit, they’re there to advise you what is considered to be the most applicable correction for your particular needs. It’s just that years back I sought a consultation with Mr. Danjoux and back then techniques wasn’t so hot, Mr. Danjoux found I had large pupils (I think that was the case) so he pointed out all the risks in performing the procedure then, the underlying message though (he couldn’t specifically tell me, just offered lots of advice) was hang on and don’t get it done just yet. Ten years later and another consultancy and he informed me that techniques had advanced to now fully cover my weird eyes, anyway cutting to the chase the procedure went brilliantly without a hitch, I now have better than 20/20 vision in the one eye I had corrected. Supporting my claim again I was advised to have only one eye corrected as monovision is the new thing for people my age and although a loss in cashbox takings for SFE it is the most appropriate treatment for me. I can confidently say I’m fully confident of the full team – surgeon to office – they have an extensive range of techniques available, they’re honest, skilful and just really excellent. Many thanks.

I am writing this review 6 days after my treatment and all I can say is wow. I had my one week check today and have 20:20 vision in both eyes. I have had no complications so far and no infections and have recovered very quickly and almost pain free.

The surgery was far less scary than I thought and was over in 20 minutes. My surgeon was calm and clearly explained what he was doing. There were no bells of whistles he just got down to his job is a confident and professional manner.

The only downside was that there was a delay and I waited 2.5 hours to be seen after my original appointment time. No one came to apologise or explain the delay. This long wait caused me a great deal of added anxiety sitting waiting and sadly I ended up having my surgery at almost 7.30pm at night when I was tired and worrying about the babysitting of my baby who was with grandparents. Other than the delay however, i am very satisfied and would recommend site for eyes 100% – let’s hope I continue to recover well and get the all clear at my 1,3 & 6 month checks.

Thank you to all at site for eyes.

Nice people very friendly, keep you informed no preasure

Excellent result. Everything went perfectly to plan. I was totally reliant on my glasses and now have been signed off with 20:20 vision.

Surgeon Mr Danjoux was recommended to me via a relative who is a consultant surgeon working in Scotland and checked with her local/trusted eye specialist colleagues by asking who they would go to if they were to have laser surgery on their own eyes. My prescriptions were -6 and -6.5 with a slight astigmatism. I am late forties and have worn gas permeable lenses for 30 years Site-for-eyes, while a small unit, is located within Sunderland Eye Hospital (a slightly "old school" hospital rather than a modern high tech environment), and there is a significant degree of comfort in knowing that everything they do there is related to fixing eyes, and that there seemed to be a great depth of domain expertise in eyes all around. The surgeons within the Site for Eyes teams had particularly strong CVs. Plus points of Site-for Eyes - very good initial explanation of risks associated with surgery, answering fully questions on why lasik, how further treatment would still be possible if needed at any point in the future and so forth - surgeon did not over-promise but delivered what he indicated would be the result - functional eyesight which allows me to drive and play golf without glasses/contact lenses. - The same consultant who did the initial consultation performed the surgery and after surgery checks - The optometrist's pre and after support was always professional and friendly - in general all appointments were on time Possible improvements: - immediately before the laser treatment itself a walk through of what the actual (brief) operational experience would be like would have had value, at least for me - e.g. that quite strong pressure would be felt applied to each eye to allow the surgeon to create the flap (briefly uncomfortable but I assume normal), that a slight odour might be possible to smell during the laser treatment itself, and that the red dot to watch would become thousands as soon as the laser started. While all understandable when thought about afterwards, they were all slight surprises at the time. Overall I had no problems with my eyes post-operation, and absolutely no discomfort or gritty feeling in them. I felt confident enough in my sight to drive a few days after surgery although it did take quite a few weeks for my focus in each eye to fine-adjust to their end result. I was also provided with special "synthetic tears" for use on a long haul flight I had to take within 5 days of surgery - again no problems. I can use computers without glasses and although I am at the point where I may need glasses to read a book or newspaper comfortably, that is most likely age related. Very grateful to the team at Site-for-eyes for now not having to deal with contact lenses (or glasses) anymore. and in my turn would highly recommend them to others considering sight correction surgery.

I would happily recommend Mr Danjoux and his team to anyone considering undergoing laser eye treatment. Extreme professionalism was shown throughout the procedure and after-care, I was consistently informed at each step and all questions were answered succinctly! I'm very happy with the overall results and only wish I'd done it years ago!

I am over the moon with my new eyes, I have worn specs from being a child, My normal specs were very expensive due to my prescription. Now i don't need specs or contacts to read or drive. Mr Danjoux and his team are very efficient and pleasant. This is a no nonsense team, no sales pitch, and no false promises, What you see is what you get,and in my case a lot better than expected so far Keep up the good work. Thank-you very much

Had laser treatment to correct my -7 shortsightedness almost 3 years ago. After the procedure my right eye is now quite good, but I suffer really bad halos around lights at night. My left eye is now a little longsighted. But the worst of all (by far)is that I had minor floaters prior to the procedure which since are now much much worse. I would recommend anyone to think long and hard about these side effects. I wish I hadn't had my eyes lasered now and stuck with my contact lenses.
