St. James Laser Vision

Following cataract surgery with Mr Morrell I noticed that my reading vision was quite reduced so he suggested laser surgery on just one eye to leave me a little short sighted to allow me to see close up. I was so impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. The staff were professional but friendly and the procedure was very straight forward. The subsequent aftercare was very thorough and reassuring! As an optometrist I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend st James laser vision clinic to my patients!

Having laser eye surgery was the best decision I have ever made in my life. As a young and active 22 year old I didn’t enjoy wearing glasses and contact lenses were a faff especially when playing sport. I was recommended to the St. James’ practice by a doctor friend and I was extremely impressed with the service, staff, cost and the procedure itself.

Mr Ball and his team made me feel welcome and guided me through the entire process, answering any questions or concerns that I had. The post-surgery care has been fantastic and I would highly recommend anyone to use St. James Laser Vision if they were considering laser eye surgery without a shadow of a doubt.

I wish I had had the treatment years ago. Very little pain, only a couple of days off work, able to see to drive the very next day. It all sounds amazing and it is. I couldn’t see across the road before and now I can count the leaves on the trees across the road. Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend having it done.

Having had laser treatment over 10 years ago and still needing to wear a variety of glasses for different purposes, I decided to find out if my eyes were suitable for multifocal lens implants. I had witnessed the improvement of my wife’s vision following her recent lens implants.
After my consultation with Mr Morrell I was told my eyes were suitable, so decided to proceed with surgery in January this year. The results have been excellent. No glasses or contact lenses after 35 years…. fantastic! A very professional service throughout, with excellent aftercare .

I had multifocal lens implants in October 2014 under the supervision of Mr Andrew Morrell, one of the two consultants, at St James Laser Vision. From the initial consultation, to establish if my eyes were suitable, right through to my final follow up appointment earlier this month everything went smoothly and I am delighted with the results. The only glasses I now wear are sunglasses! At each appointment I saw Mr Morrell and on two occasions I also saw the optometrist, Tim Hunter. It was reassuring to have the NHS link and also be able to phone/turn up if there was anything concerning me. The whole procedure was thoroughly explained and at no time was I under any pressure to go ahead with surgery after my initial, no obligation consultation.

The results were excellent and exceeded my expectations .I have not needed any glasses since the procedure and can read and also work at the computer without strain .Great distance vision as well. Quite life changing in fact. Everything explained in a sensible way and good aftercare . Felt more confidence because of the NHS link.

Cannot recommend St James Laser Vision or this surgery enough. Mr Morrel was so kind and reassuring and the surgery itself was very simple and straight forward. It has been life changing and I will never take perfect vision for granted. Best decision I have ever made. I would urge anyone who is thinking about it to do it !

My work involves extensive use of computers and printed matter and, for some years, I have struggled along with glasses. Eventually, I decided to look into laser eye correction and I booked a consutation with a national company who advertise regularly on TV. Following the consultation I decided not to go ahead with this company, partly because the company's premises seemed to be awash with salespeople but mainly because they told me that I would still need glasses for close-up reading following the surgery. I struggled on for a while longer before doing some more research on the internet, where I found St James Laservision. Their site seemed to address the criticisms I had of the other company so I booked an appointment and had an initial consultation with Mr Ball. I was sufficiently impresssed with Mr Ball and everyone at St James to book in for my surgery on 26th September 2008 and I was particularly pleased to hear that the treatment could be tailor-made for my eyes to give me good distance and close-up vision without glasses. It is now a month since my surgery. Everything went exactly as I had been told - everyone at St James was professional and curteous, the procedure itself was painless and remarkably quick, the post-op consultations were straightforward and, most importantly, my vision is now so much improved that I do not need glasses at all. Many thanks to Mr Ball and everyone at St James Laservision

Having eye surgery has quite literally changed my life. Having worn glasses and then contact lenses for 30 years I took the plunge and went for eye surgery following recommendations from friends about St James Clinic. Despite being very squeamish about eyes I was desperate as I quite an active life. I own a horse, looking after him and riding on a daily basis. In windy weather dirt would blow into my eyes, rendering me painfully blind if I was wearing my contact lenses. If I worn my glasses I struggled to see in the rain and also risked the horse potentially knocking them off. Being able to see properly means whatever the weather I can get on with what I am doing. It has also saved time in messing about putting lenses in, trying to find my glasses and swopping between the two. I no longer get dry eyes at night from wearing lenses all day and don't suffer the inconvenience of a lost lens. I also don't rub my eyes as much so the skin around them will not get stretched and age as quickly as if I were still wearing lenses. It is fantastic being able to see!
