I was very nervous about this, but it really was all ok. Fantastic service, I’m very satisfied.
I've gone from a prescription of -6.00 to 20/20 vision and I couldn't be happier. Dr Gartry was professional and put me at ease. I always felt that my health was his highest concern. None of the constant sales pitches that you get elsewhere. Would 100% recommend
I had LASEK eye surgery done by Dr. Gartry in July 2021. I could not have asked for a better eye surgeon to perform the surgery. I was quite nervous pre surgery and had many questions. Dr Gartry kept me at ease and answered everything I needed to know to come to a decision. The surgery only took about 10 minutes and I did not experience any discomfort as Dr Gartry was talking to me throughout and again, made me feel extremely comfortable. After surgery, the recovery process is usually 7-10 days with Lasek which was what I was most worried about. However, during the post surgery recovery process, I didn’t have any discomfort at all and applied all of the medication and eye drops they had provided me. The consultation and post surgery experience was second to none – the best service ever! My eyesight is now as good as a pilots which is amazing and I can see everything so clearly. Note that my prescription was not that high, however the difference is just incredible. I could not recommend Dr. Gartry enough and with his experience, you know you are in good hands.
Wonderful, the entire experience (procedure, plus pre & post visit) was incredibly straightforward. I now have my eyesight back, which is perfect. Previously my failing eyesight was a constant stress. This is the best thing I've done for years. I couldn't recommend strongly enough.
I have been reliant on glasses and contact lenses for most of my life, but after LASIK I can now wake up and go. I can’t thank David and his team enough for giving me better than 20/20 vision, definitely a life-changing surgery.
My primary feeling when I was told that I needed cataract surgery was fear. The fear of my eyes being cut open and a new lens inserted. The fear of the pain I would have to endure. But my fears were groundless. Prof Gartry and his amazing team were kind, gentle and reassuring. Every detail was explained to me so that I had a complete understanding of every aspect of the procedure. I was wide awake the whole time and felt nothing at all. I heard the quiet calming tones of Prof Gartry as he went about his highly skilled work. The procedure took only about 20 minutes and I was given lunch before I left the hospital. The next day I removed the shield from my eye and had the wonder of perfect sight…something I had never experienced my whole life. I was so thrilled that I immediately booked an appointment for my other eye. Every moment of my interaction with Prof Gartry and his team was a pleasurable experience; they are consummate professionals who take pride in looking after their patients with skill, care, kindness and confidence. I cannot speak highly enough of every one of them. I can only say “thank you for bringing such a dramatic change to my life”
I was very apprehensive about the surgery however there was no need i received a very high standard of care and felt that i could not have had any better surgeon than Mr Gartry. He put me at ease and i feel that the decision to have this done was by far the most life changing thing I have ever had. For as long as i remember i have always reached for my glasses first thing in the morning, this is now a thing of the past and to be able to see the world without glasses is a life changer. I could not recommend enough if your thinking of doing it I can definitely recommend Mr Gartry.
I am a 30 year wearer of contact lenses to help with my short vision. About 7 years ago I also started to require reading glasses for computer, phone and more importantly menu use…
My optician suggested I consider lens replacement a couple of years ago.
Once the seed was planted, it took a combination of frustration with glasses (not remembering them mostly), the cost of contact lenses and the realisation that short term pain would be worth it for not having to use glasses and contact lenses going forward, for me to decide to go for it.
My optician said 'if you're looking for the best in the country, look no further than Professor Gartry.'
Being surgery I was expecting pain, but with the well planned process (and drugs) there wasn't any pain to speak of. The eye drops took a little getting used to post surgery, but it's no real hardship for a month.
From the initial meeting right the way through to being signed off with 20/20 vision last week (I've never been able to say that before!) the process was smooth & had clearly been put together with the patient in mind.
There is lots of documentation provided to help you decide whether lens replacement is for you. The key parts for me were a) becoming glasses and lenses free, and b) recovery time, which is 6-8 weeks. I needed a temporary set of glasses to enable me to be able to drive in the first month. I was able to read menus the day after my first eye was done – amazing. After the second eye was done, colours were much more vivid and much more light gets through (sunglasses needed for a week or 2). The multifocal lenses used for me are brilliant.
As if all the above isn't enough, the icing on the cake is that the chances of me requiring cataract surgery later in life are now vastly reduced.
Based on my experience and results, I would (and have) recommended Professor Gartry and his team to anyone looking for help with their eyes.
Absolutely fantastic, it has changed my life since having LASIK. I had a prescription of -3.00 and -2.75 and now my eyesight is perfect. I would strongly recommend to anyone thinking of having this procedure. All the staff are so friendly and informative throughout. I cannot thank them all enough!
Very satisfied with my treatment by Professional David Gartry and his professional team .
After the operation, I feel like I have bough myself a high definition TV, everything is so clear and colourful.
