I had LASIK treatment of both eyes as i had poor vision and wore glasses, Mark Wevill assessed me and performed the procedure on my eyes . He was very professional and honest with me throughout the assessment and the procedure showing great patience and care which i found very comforting . He made sure i understood clearly what was happening and what results to expect without any feel of pressure at all, even now in the after care he's always on hand if i need him or just have a question. He puts you at ease very easily and makes you feel in safe hands which is always a great with nerves. If you're thinking of having laser eye surgery in you're future i would highly recommend useing mark you would have no regrets.

Friendly and informative, unrushed consultations. Surgery felt quick and competent. I was not worried at any point. Follow-up phone call after surgery greatly appreciated.

I had LASIK treatment of both eyes to correct refractive errors with Mr. Wevill at the Optegra Birmingham Eye Hospital. He was professional and honest throughout from start to finish which is exactly what I wanted. He was prepared to openly discuss the risks of surgery in detail and I did not feel pressured into going ahead with it in the slightest. During and after the operation he was helpful. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of having laser eye surgery.

I have come out of surgery with incredible sight. I've forgotten I wore glasses. Mark and his team were great throughout the process. I had laser eye surgery which I was extremely nervous about prior to surgery. Mark was incredibly reassuring and spoke with me on the phone about my additional concerns before and he also rang me after the surgery. This was in addition to the original consultation I had had with him where I'd been able to discuss concerns at length. I had been to two other centres for consultations before seeing Mark Wevill and deciding to go with him for my surgery. Neither of the others allowed me to chat or talk with my ophthalmologist and both offered various guarantees for results. One I was particularly disappointed with as they repeatedly told me there was a lifetime guarantee for a particular prescription. During the consultation I had repeatedly mentioned my asthma. It was only later reading the small print I noticed asthma ( and numerous other health problems) listed as excluding me from this. There was none of this at Optegra. They just talked plain facts with aflat rate fee for specific surgeries. It's easy to get sucked in by the marketing and guarantees but this isn't a new car you are buying it' surgery on your own body and bodies and unique and complicated- surgery does have risks and complications. A good doctor would never try to say otherwise.... But a salesman will. I lost a lot of trust in the other companies I had consultations with constantly bombarding me with phone calls, emails trying to get me to book. There was no pressure from Mark and his team. I very nearly cancelled on the day of the treatment because of my nerves and the team were incredibly accommodating and understanding. They treat you like a patient and not just a sale. I really didn't have anything to worry about- I'm so pleased with the results! I feel that I can always go back to Mark at any time in the future if I did ever have problems with my eyes and recommend him very highly! When I looked at these reviews I was a bit cynical because Mark had such high rating. I thought maybe they weren't real reviews but having been through the process I know why he is rated as such!
