Life changing…..the only words I can use to describe LASEK surgery performed by Professor Gartry.

At the age of 34 I had been thinking about having Laser Surgery for a number of years but always been quite apprehensive about it due to my high prescription. I was a -11 in my left eye and -9.5 in my right. I knew from doing my own research that there was a good chance I would still need glasses post operation. I finally decided to take the plunge after being recommended to Professor Gartry by my optician. The BEST decision I have ever made.

All appointments, through from the initial consultation to the final follow up were extremely professional and very reassuring. I was given all the information that I needed to make an informed decision. I was told that the most likely result would be getting me down to around a -1/-1.5 which I would have been pleased with and would have been able to get through the vast majority of daily life without the need for glasses.

The procedure itself lasted 10 minutes and was really straight forward. Professor Gartry talks you through every step of the process, what he is doing, what will happen next and how long for etc. In terms of aftercare once home, the first 48hrs are not pleasant. I spent most of my time in a very dark room with sunglasses on and a t-shirt over my head listening to Podcasts. Once you are through those first couple of days it gets much easier but be prepared to be in quite a bit of discomfort to start with.

I have just had my final follow up appointment and from a -11 and -9.5 I now have better than 20/20 vision and both eyes are a 0 prescription. I have better vision now than I ever had with lenses or glasses. I cannot thank Professor Gartry and his team enough, they have changed my life!

In January 2023 a routine eye examination found the sight in my left eye had deteriorated. A letter of referral was forwarded by me to David Gartry for comment. He agreed that YAG laser treatment was necessary. Early March I had the treatment on both eyes. The procedure was clearly communicated and was painless, resulting in an immediate improvement in vision. I cannot speak too highly of David and his team, consummate professionals all. Don’t delay if YAG laser treatment is advised. I would still be awaiting a consultation with the NHS under any other circumstances. My sight is too important to delay treatment. I made the right decision.

I had LASIK eye surgery with Professor David Gartry in October 2022 to correct my short sightedness. I would highly recommend the Wimpole Eye Clinic for anyone considering corrective eye surgery.

The whole process from start to finish was extremely professional and I felt completely safe. I did my research beforehand and Professor Gartry is clearly the best in his field. The initial consultation was well organised and went smoothly. The surgery itself was painless and the results were almost immediate! It really is life changing: no more glasses or contact lenses. Would recommend!

Highly recommended, with outstanding results – 20/20 long distance vision restored with multifocal lenses. Reassuringly, the whole process was sympathetically and comprehensively explained by Professor Gartry and his team; all my questions and concerns were answered fully; and his and his team's professionalism throughout and standard of care were second to none. By repute (from various sources), he is the top eye surgeon to go to. I could not recommend him more highly.
