Explanation

Mr Anandan performed lens replacement surgery on me in January 2024 as I needed two or three different pairs of prescription glasses to function properly. The procedure was explained thoroughly to me and despite me being very nervous and squeamish I decided to go ahead. The operation was not painful or even uncomfortable at all, slightly strange sensation at times but I am so glad I summoned up the courage to do this. Not having to wear glasses again (or spending time constantly looking for them) is liberating. This is the best thing I have ever done as a treat to myself.

Explanation

The best way to start this review is to express my sincere thanks to Mr Anandan and his excellent operating team. Following explanation of my lens replacement options at the first outpatient appointment, it was recommended to progress with an Enhanced Toric Monofocal lens in both eyes to resolve my cataract issue. Eye surgery before I met Mr Anandan terrified me and I had a long list of questions which were answered with clear rationale. Within 10 mins of meeting Mr Anandan I was confident of his experience and ability to operate on my eyes. Surgery was calm, controlled and performed with high confidence. Whilst there were moments of unpleasant feelings around my eye during the operation (as you would expect because it’s your eyes) I was never in any pain or distress. Each eye took just under 10 mins, which is longer than the usual 3 mins because Mr Anandan wanted to ‘take his time’ as I had a high level of long sightedness. I am writing this review without glasses which I have worn since childhood. It is likely I may need reading glasses for some small print detail which I was made aware of at the outset. The results are amazing with my vision significantly improved in clarity, distance and contrast. I whole heartedly recommend Mr Anandan for lens replacement surgery. Quite frankly I’m not sure there’s anyone else out there who would come close!

Explanation

I had my lens replacement surgery done by Mr Anandan and I could fault it anyway from the consultation through to the surgery - I was nervous on the day the procedure was done and Mr Anandan and his team made me feel really comfortable and at ease. The actual procedure was smooth and painless and all throughout the procedure I was spoken to which made me feel at ease. I feel it is very important to have the best practice and surgeon when it comes to your eyes - I was offered the treatment at a lower price by another company but I am so glad I chose to go with Mr Anandan as the results of the surgery are much better than I ever anticipated. I would not think twice to recommend Mr Anandan to anyone and I already have a few friends looking to go with him for the same surgery. Thank you Mr Anandan and team.

Explanation

I had multifocal lens replacements installed yesterday evening. I was on 3 different prescriptions prior to this and finally took the plunge to improve my quality of life. Less than 24hrs later, I'm typing this review, minus glasses! I was really nervous about the procedure but I can assure you that the thought of it is far far worse than reality. Completely painless, just very minor discomfort for a few hours afterwards. I couldn't believe how quick and straightforward the surgery was...!! Mr Anandan and the team were professional and friendly from the initial consultation right through to the procedure itself. Also I had a follow up call this morning from Mr Anandan to check that everything was ok. The experience couldn't have been better and I would recommend it to anyone. The amazing thing was, I read the aftercare instructions this morning, just a few hours after surgery... and it suddenly dawned on me, I'd read them without glasses! Mr Anandan came highly recommended and I can see why.....Life changing.
