Mr Mark Wevill

Written by a patient at The Westbourne Centre

I had been thinking of replacement lens for a few years as specs and contact lens wasn't ideal for me and also had start of cataracts. So, after carefully looking at options and reviews and someone I felt I could be fully confident with as I am(was) a very nervous patient, I decided Mark Wevill was my man for the job! After meeting him at my initial assessment at the Westbourne Clinic, I was so happy I found this lovely clever man. However still feeling anxious it took me a few weeks to make the decision to go ahead. This has to be the best bravest thing I've ever done for myself (thanks to Mark). After the first surgery (January 2020) I couldn't believe how fast it took; I really shouldn't have worried as much as I did, I never felt any pain whatsoever and it was very reassuring when Mark told me on the way out of theatre that "all went very well" music to my ears! I followed the aftercare instructions carefully and had no problem whatsoever. THANKYOU ever so much Mark, its truly wonderful to have clear eyesight and to be able to read small print, especially when I'm out and about shopping, driving, applying makeup (covering all the wrinkles I don't wish to see!) All things we take for granted, I just can't thank you enough. So, to anyone who is thinking of having any eye surgery I'd say go and meet this very clever man, Mark Wevill. Sue Sharpe …….. now over to my husband, John Like Sue, I had been thinking of having same surgery for years but never quite got around to it, being a contact lens wearer for years I guess I wasn't as troubled as Sue. However, I was so impressed with her success and also with her choice of consultant, Mark Wevill, I booked my assessment with him soon after Sue's surgery and was pleased to get surgery booked sooner than later because of holidays booked later in the year. The surgery was painless and a very short procedure; the strange thing I do remember during the procedure was saying to Mark as he implanted the lens "I can see the lights clearly!" what a surprise! The following day I was able to see quite clearly, expecting it to take a few more days for my eyes to adjust - but that wasn't the case. Needless to say I am very happy with the result. What more can I say? It's the best money I have ever spent! I no longer have to 'faff about' with contact lens, swapping for my specs, etc. And to awake in the morning and see clearly is still a novelty for me and I take pleasure in the delight of it all, just the little things such as identifying garden birds, etc! I can honestly say the surgery (Feb 2020) went so well also the aftercare I can thoroughly recommend Mark to anyone who thinking of eye surgery he is the best!! So a huge thankyou to Mark as well as your team at Westbourne Centre, I look forward to seeing you at my follow up which got postponed due to current virus situation. Kind regards John Sharpe

Mark was highly recommended to me by a close family member, who was referred to Mark by a close friend so I already felt that I was in good hands. From the very beginning, Mark was thorough and I came away form my initial consultation with no worries or questions. On the day of my surgery for Lasik, Mark was calm, smiley and re-assuring which helped ease any nerves I had. Although he was a busy man I didn’t feel rushed and if I needed to, I could ask him any further questions. During the procedure Mark talked me through what he was doing and again reassured me that all was going well. All in all, I have had a very positive experience and I cannot thank Mark enough for a life changing procedure. Lauren

Mark and his team have made eye lens replacement a pleasant and totally professional experience. I would recommend him 100% and also the lens replacements. To wake up and see the alarm clock is a great start to the day. A big BIG thank you to Mark and his team

I can only re-iterate all the reviews. Mark and his team are, in my opinion, second to none. I had to wait a bit longer than normal for my eyes and brain to adjust to the tri-focal lenses that I had.....Mark assured me that with patience and a few procedural tweeks he would sort it and he did. I now have 20/20 vision...AMAZING! Mark is not only a brilliant surgeon but a lovely person who instills immediate calmness and trust. He and all his team are such professionals whose work ethics are so effective and efficient. They look after you with great care throughout and always with a smile. I would have no hesitation at all to whole-heartedly recommend him. He is delightful and someone who not only looks after us here in the U.K. but also in under-developed countries where he puts his wonderful skills to use in a charitable capacity to help under priviledge youngsters see the world in the same way as are eyes now do. He's a STAR. Thanks so much Mark xx P.S. Only down side I can now see the wrinkles I did not know I had Haah!! !

I decided to go with Mark & Optegra after my daughter had laser treatment earlier this year which she was very happy with. I had the relatively newer laser treatment called SMILE. Results are fantastic and I’m very pleased. Mark & the team at Optegra we’re great. Always professional and happy to discuss any aspect. My full recovery took a bit longer than I think both they & I expected. I would say it is important to stay patient and things will normalise after a while. Thanks for everything Mark.
