Mr Stevens was one of four Consultants recommended to me via a friend's Moorfields Consultant: Prof David Garway-Heath, who has a different 'speciality'. I read through the Moorfields' information on all those who had been recommended and immediately chose Mr Julian Stevens. My intuition was rewarded once I logged onto his website and read - in depth - about his expertise, passion, experience, achievements..... the list goes on and is best understood by any prospective patient reading through the information contained in the website. At my initial appointment, his team were very knowledgeable not only with regard to my care, but also clearly appreciative of the professional mentoring and guidance Mr Stevens gives them. So, it seems, not only does he look after his patients, but also his team! The appointment also included a meeting with Mr Stevens and he's excellent! Very reassuring about the treatment, he wanted to understand precisely what I'd like to achieve and provided realistic conclusions about the processes. The procedure was carried out three days ago on both my eyes and I can't speak highly enough of the care I experienced. I expected 'discomfort and eye-bandages' - but it was completely painless, I came out with no bandages at all and was encouraged to gently 'make the new lenses work' immediately. A post-op check-up with Mr Stevens two days later proved that he can only be described as 'a magician'. I've gone from being very short-sighted, a contact lens prescription of -9.0 and -9.5, with astigmatism and developing cataracts, to being assessed as having better than 20/20 vision, which will improve even more so over the next month once the post-op medication (drops) have finished. And as an addendum...... not only is the pre-op, during-op, post-op care exceptional, Mr Stevens also cares enough about how his patients are able to manage at home by working to develop/provide an App to remind patients when and which drops to apply (rather than have to write long lists)! This has been vital reassurance to me, knowing that I'm able to best care for my eyes during their recovery! I can't thank him enough and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Stevens most highly. Thank you! Debbie Bishop
