I would highly recommend Mr Stevens. He has successfully performed lens replacement and cataract surgery following a sub optimal result from an operation I had with a different surgeon. I had laser surgery prior to my cataracts developing, and I was told by the first surgeon to expect a “fudge factor” as laser surgery presented complications for cataracts. I was left short sighted. Mr Stevens has corrected my vision in both eyes. I now have perfect vision for both long and near sight. “Fudge factors” do not feature in Mr Steven’s practice. In addition, Mr Steven’s outstanding ability means that he is able to treat all of his patients holistically. I have other issues including dry eyes and unlike the previous experience I had, where I was informed I would need to see other specialists, Mr Steven’s has a clinical plan for my eyes in entirety. The whole team are highly efficient, professional and caring, spear headed by Janet who is equally outstanding. In my opinion Mr Steven’s is one of the best eye surgeons worldwide and I will be forever full of appreciation for the sight I now have.

My eyesight had got gradually worse to the point where I started wondering whether I'd be better having lens replacement and laser correction. Mr Stevens put my mind at rest - this was the correct course of action. The operation itself was simple and painless, and the results astonishing: beforehand, with glasses, I could see the end of a football field, but not clearly. Without glasses - not a chance. At the time of writing, a month after surgery, I could not only see the far end of the field, but it was crystal clear - a bit like going from 625 lines to 4k! - and I could not only see the play, but even the expressions on the faces of the crowd. Playing golf is better, too: my control has improved, and it is such a relief not to have to wear glasses all the time. And driving without glasses - even at night - is a relief. Despite not needing glasses for anything else, I do still need glasses to read and use the computer, but this is improving. It will be interesting to see how far it improves in a month or so.

I have had lens replacement surgery to treat a cataract in my right eye. Having had laser surgery performed by Mr Stevens many years ago, to correct myopia, I had no hesitation in seeking his advice following diagnosis of a cataract. Mr Stevens treated me with care and expertise, taking time to listen to my expectations and concerns regarding the procedure, which was performed three weeks ago. I had no discomfort whatever and I am delighted with the result. I am back on the tennis court with great distance vision but I can also read small print very well. All managed smoothly and efficiently by wonderful PA Janet.

My previous experience with having my cataracts operated on by the NHS had not been a success and I was therefore nervous about the operation to the other eye I went to Mr Stevens because he had been recommended by a friend He took the trouble to explain everything in detail and gave me confidence to have the remaining eye operated on. The procedure has been a great success and I would recommend mr Stevens to anyone in my situation

Review by Zareen Ahmed Julian Stevens – An experienced and truly gifted surgeon. I spent over a year deciding if I could overcome worry about putting my trust in an eye surgeon. Both my eyes needed cataracts removed, and I was really frustrated at needing to wear three different types of glasses for reading books, using the computer, and driving. Julian Stevens was highly recommended by my cousin, and I am so very grateful that I took his advice. I found the whole team extremely professional and caring. My thanks in particular go to Magdelana and Janet who provided lots of guidance and support before and after the surgery. Any concerns I had, melted away when I met Julian for my consultation. I found that he did much more than read out the results of the various tests his team had conducted. He checked my eyes himself and was perceptive and intuitive about my general health. His is a truly comprehensive approach. I had laser refractive surgery and lens implants as part of cataract and refractive surgery. Julian also corrected an astigmatism. Both eyes were treated at the same time, and I don’t need to wear glasses anymore. What more can I say? Well, a lot actually… The entire process took place in a very short space of time. I walked out of the clinic and joined my family for a lovely lunch. My vision was clear, no dressings, and I was pain free. I was driving two days later. I had no after affects. I had a follow up appointment about 5 weeks later. All the visual tests were positive, and again, holistic practitioner Julian, spoke to me about my general health, and the importance of vitamins and supplements. His job was done, but he wanted to ensure I would continue to look after myself, and my enhanced vision.

I was extremely short sighted. I found Mr Stevens through social media and emailed an enquiry. I heard back promptly and arranged a consultation. I was a suitable candidate for ICL phakic lens implantation. I decided to go ahead with the surgery and 10 days later I had it done. It was a painless procedure. I was cared for exceptionally well. Mr Stevens and his staff, especially Janet, were very helpful. I travelled from Lancashire and Janet helped advise regarding transport and accommodation. Communication was excellent. I have wonderful vision for the first time in about 40 years. I would highly recommend Mr Stevens.
