5 months ago I was very short sighted, and my vision had deteriorated and got much dimmer during lockdown. I was really worried and my high street optician could only offer thicker glasses and/or contact lenses. I knew a friend who had had surgery with Mr. Stevens and it had changed her life. I thought a consultation would clarify my options and at least give me a really thorough examination and diagnosis. From the first meeting with Mr Stevens' lovely, caring and professional team, my fears and questions were answered. I was guided through the options and processes and appraised of a realistic likely outcome. My considerable anxiety was not dismissed, but managed as a normal part of their remit. I was helped through without being made to feel a nuisance - thank you all for your patience and kindness. I had both lenses replaced, (with laser light show) and can now see the world in bright colour (no cataract clouding) and clearly (myopia corrected). Straight after surgery I could look across the room and see my husband for the first time in 40 years, without glasses/contacts - amazing! There was a very clear after care regime with an app to prompt and I had no complications or pain throughout. I can now see far into the distance, as i never have since I was 7 years old, yet i am still able to thread a needle and read normal sized print without the need for reading glasses. Thank you so much Mr. Stevens and your lovely team. May you keep being kind and changing lives for a long time.
