St. James Laser Vision

What an eye-opener - literally!! Having read all the reviews of this clinic I made an appointment to see Mr Ball. I too have worn glasses since the age of 7, moving to contact lenses when 21, and daily lenses when 35. My prescription was -7 and -5.5. We also have a history of cataracts in the family - both elder sisters, mother, grandmother - and as I am now in mid-50s, not something I was looking forward to. I can confirm that everything that has been said before is true - my experience of this clinic in January 2010 (first eye 18th Jan, second eye 1st Feb) has been truly remarkable. Mr James Ball is knowledgeable and professionalism personified, staff are courteous and helpful, the procedures carried out sympathetically - and the results even better than imagined! I was driving within 48 hours of the last operation, at night - no haloing, no residual blurring - and incredible vision. For someone who has never been able to see first thing in a morning - this is miraculous. I only wish the technology had been about 30 years ago. I can now look forward literally - with no future eyesight problems anticipated, and no cataract problems to deal with. I would most sincerely recommend anyone with eyesight problems to see Mr Ball. He is eminently trustworthy and capable, and will give you the best advice available according to 'your' problem. Your trust will not be misplaced. Thank you James - and all your staff.

Found this clinic accidentally whilst browsing the internet looking for information on Laser surgery, and I'm glad I did. I felt much more confident attending this clinic which is part of St James Hospital in Leeds. My treatment was with Mr Morrell, who was involved also in my initial consultation. Despite my being slightly nervous of the procedure, he was informative and highly professional throughout. After the surgery my eyesight was already improved and continued to do so in the following days/weeks. My check ups have all been satisfactory, and as I write this I am seven weeks post-op, my eyesight is fantastic and I am more than pleased that I went ahead with the surgery, and with the results. I would recommend this clinic and its staff to anyone considering Laser surgery. Thank you to everyone there, Joe Kimble.

From start to finish the care I received from St James laser vision was outstanding. I was made fully aware of any risks involved and was informed about every detail of the surgery i was about to have. The after care was also very good. 4 months on and I have perfect vision although my vision was above 20/20 2 months after the operation. The actual procedure was very quick and painless. In fact the only awkward part of the surgery was trying to stop myself rubbing my eyes in my sleep but this was solved with a pair of cool eye shields and some tape. A big thanks to Dr morrell and all the team at St James not forgetting a thanks to a very kind and helpful receptionist. cheers Stephen.

Very professional yet friendly and personable service. I was back at work three days afterwards. Love the results!

I am 61 years old and I have worn glasses from being a child. I cannot believe that I can now see 20/20 without them. Thanks Mr Morrell it's the best money I have ever spent. One word......MAGIC

Going from incredibly short sighted (-6 and -7.5) to perfect vision for both distance and reading is fantastic. I had put off ever having laser surgery because I cannot bear for anyone to go anywhere near my eyes! Mr Ball and his staff have been superb in every aspect. The aftercare was second to none and because the technology is so advanced, I had minimal discomfort on the first evening, and none at all thereafter. The technology has also meant that my eyes are good for both distance and reading. I would strongly recommend you go for a consultation.

I had outstanding service from my consultant Mr. Andrew Morrell. The rest of the staff were also brilliant – very professional, efficient and caring. I went from a vision of -5.75 and -5.25 to almost perfect vision. My left eye still has a very slight prescription but not enough to warrant wearing glasses. As an active person who likes to run and walk outdoors, it has changed my life. The extensive and attentive follow-up for over 12 months afterwards was also brilliant.

Very thorough & professional service. I have been more than happy to recommend this excellent Unit.

Treatment went well, I had a quite high prescription (borderline for successful results apparently, -7.0 in one eye -6.5 in the other, both with some astigmatism). Mr Ball was very competent and reassuring throughout the procedure, and seems a down to earth bloke which helps reassure you! Only slight shock for me was that the “slight pressure” you feel when they cut the flap in your eye is a bit of a toe curler, I’d compare it to someone pulling the hairs on your arms. Vision is now better than it ever was wearing contacts, and improving still (treatment was a couple of months ago). Its £3000 regardless of what treatment they use – they just use the best for you – and if you need a top up treatment, that’s included in the 3k as is all the aftercare (which is for a year). Only minor problem was that I had trouble getting through to them as the phone number on the website was incorrect – I think this has been fixed now – so if you’ve tried them and couldn’t get through – try again!!
