I had been researching corrective eye surgery for the past 10 years as, being a spectacle wearer and a sailor, was a problem in poor weather. I was short sighted (-7), had astigmatism in my left eye and needed reading glasses. If I was to go through the expense of corrective surgery I wanted all the above to be addressed with no compromises. Laser seemed to be the obvious choice but after meeting Mark Wevill at Optegra Birmingham it became clear that Permanent Lens Replacement was the only procedure that could deliver my 'wish list'. Mark explained the pro's, con's and risks associated with both laser and Lens Replacement and answered all my questions honestly and openly. He is clearly a very experienced, knowledgeable, caring surgeon and a perfectionist - a quality you would want in an eye surgeon I believe. The operations to both eyes, a week apart, went well with Mark explaining what he was doing and making sure I was comfortable and at ease throughout the procedure. I did have an issue with raised pressure in my left eye after the operation which Mark quickly diagnosed and successfully treated. I have now been discharged by Mark with excellent results in distance and reading vision in both eyes - something not possible with laser correction with my eyesight. It has been one of my best decisions in having Permanent Lens Replacement and an even better decision in choosing Mark as my surgeon and his team at Optegra Birmingham - I can't fault the guy, plus, he's a jolly nice chap!!
