London Vision Clinic Avis 

I had laser eye surgery at London Vision Clinic, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the first consultation to the aftercare, everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism and care.

A special thank you goes to Dr. Carp, my surgeon. He was absolutely outstanding – calm, reassuring, and incredibly skilled. He took the time to explain every step of the procedure, answered all my questions with patience, and made me feel completely at ease. During the surgery itself, I felt confident that I was in the best hands possible.

The results have been life-changing. My vision is now crystal clear, and I no longer need glasses or contact lenses. The recovery was smooth and exactly as Mr. Carp had described.

I would highly recommend London Vision Clinic and especially Mr. Carp to anyone considering laser eye surgery. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

If you’re reading this you may be apprehensive, are trying to decide if you should have surgery and if so, whether should you use LVC.

After my initial consultation - which was very thoroughly and professionally conducted - I was told I should have PRESBYOND in addition to correcting my lifelong myopia. I was a little apprehensive about it, even after researching and seeing that the outcomes are overwhelmingly positive, partly because I hadn’t actually started to have issues with reading yet. But I am at “that age” and the rationale was it makes little sense to bin the distance specs only to have to wear readers soon enough. My main concern was adjusting to the different powers in each eye.

After another consultation, this time with the surgeon Mr Carp, who patiently answered my questions thoroughly, I was reassured it was the way forward.

Onto the day of the surgery and to echo what other people have said, the procedure really is utterly painless. And the staff are all pros who made the experience as pleasant as having your eyes burned with fricken laser beams could ever be. My vision was (I think) 20/16 - better than average - the day after and I was given the all-clear to drive.

I’m 25 days post surgery and my vision remains 20/16 so in terms of acuity, as good as I had with specs/lenses. I’ve already noticed the adaptation process progressing quickly. There are periods of the day where the blend feels seamless - so I get literal glimpses of what my vision is going to be like once I’m fully adapted - which is to say pretty much as good as with my lenses. Other times the vision is slightly blurry at certain distances, which is expected at this point. The only other side effect I have now is dryness, mitigated by drops, also expected and also improving.

Shout out to Meghan, the patient care co-ordinator who answered all of my numerous emails promptly and efficiently; to Amir the optometrist at my initial assessment and Emma who conducted my latest post-surgical follow-up. And to Mr Carp, who seems to have aimed his laser perfectly and whose affability and expertise I really appreciate.

So to answer the question at the top of this review: whether or not you have surgery is a personal decision but I would highly recommend LVC if you do decide to go ahead. Even if I were in the small low single digit percentage who don’t adapt fully to PRESBYOND, my rating wouldn’t change as that wouldn’t be anybody’s fault. No surgery, even if performed perfectly, is 100% guaranteed to be successful. But I would trust LVC to take care of my eyes in future if necessary.

From start to finish I felt taken care of. My surgeon, Dr Darshak Patel, made me feel very safe and listened well to any concerns. The morning after surgery my vision was pretty good already and improved after the lenses settled.

Fantastic service all round, can’t speak highly enough of the team!

So I'm North of 55 and also had -10 in both eyes so I was in the free NHS eye test category. I was that blind.
. About 20 years ago I went to Moorefields for a trial but they couldn't do me. A chance conversation with my optician I found out that lvc had actually done his eyes and he was equally bad.
Called LVC and the options were explained. Being such bad eyesight I was on the more expensive plan but this was notified immediately. A couple of years past until my optician told me how dangerous it was to wear contact lenses while swimming. So I called LVC as being the only sensible option and got booked in for the preliminary tests.
The preliminary test said fine, And a month later I had the op done. I was extremely worried and concerned (I stupidly watched the YouTube videos..) but was put at ease.
Literally you're in the operation room for 10 minutes. Most of that is explaining what's happening. The actual operation is psychologically unpleasant in thought but not painful at all and only lasts a minute in each eye.
Within half an hour I was back in the car (wife driving!) with some sore eyes. That evening my eyes were sore but not painful. I religiously followed the aftercare and was specifically impressed with a message from Glenn seeing if everything was okay.
The following day I went for the checkup by train on my own and walked from Paddington To the clinic. On the way there, I couldn't read the clock on the train carriage, On the way back 2 hours later I could.
Realistically it took 4 or 5 days for me to see almost perfectly, And another week before perfect. Within 2 days I could function normally but I didn't drive.
Then gradually over the next month my eyes got better and better and better.
Lvc certainly do a lot more checkups pre and post-op than any other clinic my friends have been to. And what's impressive is the price on the website is exactly what I paid. Not a penny more.
I've had several friends who have paid a little less but have not had the level of service. Some my friends went to clinics. They were advertising a low price but by the time they added everything it was more expensive than LVC.
10 months on it was the best thing I've ever done. Only thing is I should have done it years ago.
Extremely impressed with the service And the result

They simply set the standard for private healthcare in London

Had my eyes done just over a year ago, All the Staff were brilliant very helpful and organized, Vim was brilliant at explaining the process and managing expectations on the healing process. Glenn who did the procedure was amazing very re-assuring and I can't be any happier with the outcome I now have 20/20 vision my only regret is I did not do this sooner...

It’s nearly a month since my SMILE surgery with Professor Reinstein at LVC. The results have been fantastic so far- my vision is currently even better than expected and I have not experienced any side effects.

I have been to numerous eye specialists since childhood but the Initial Review at the Clinic was by far the most rigorous. Every question I had was thoroughly and carefully answered.

The actual surgery only took around 20 minutes. I felt no pain or discomfort as every aspect of the procedure was explained to me in real time by Professor Reinstein and his colleagues.

The aftercare has been similarly meticulous. Clear instructions were provided for every stage of the recovery process and my Patient Care Coordinator was available to answer any question I had.

Overall, I highly recommend LVC. Their combination of eminent surgeons and a professional yet friendly support staff made the experience truly seamless, particularly given my initial apprehension at the thought of laser eye surgery.

all went very smoothly even though i ran a little late.

My experience at LVC has been amazing. There was a part of me that thought the overwhelming positive feedback was cheated or something but after having had my procedure done with Professor Reinstein I now see 20/16 with even fewer side effects than I was expecting, just some starburst, halos and some very mild dry eye when I wake up. I'm sure my eyes will continue to heal to perfection over the next 3-6 months.

The last thing you want to say after you walk out of a laser eye appointment and it goes wrong is 'I wish I spent more money to get the best'. Don't be like that, get the best surgery and highest chance of successful correction at the LVC.

Really really recommend this clinic! Staff is super friendly and very attentive. They make the effort to know your name and are always smiling and helpful!!

I am extremely happy with my surgery, pre-op and post-op care. Everything was explained very clearly and my eyes were carefully monitored. I felt comfortable at every stage and knew what was coming next. The doctors and carers are clearly experienced. I also feel very happy that I went through this as it really has changed my life. I hadn't realised the small things that I struggled with before.

London Vision Clinic was my first choice when my optician found cataracts in my eyes because of the wonderful treatment my daughter received when she had laser surgery there. They continued to support her long after the post-op follow-up.
So, as soon as I left the optician, I called LVC. They still had my records from 4 years ago when I was considering laser eye surgery. My appointment the following week was like visiting old friends.
Everything after that was as smooth and lovely as could be. Emma, Dharshak and the rest of the team answered all my questions honestly and with the most up-to-date knowledge. On the day, I was completely calm and relaxed. Every single staff member is on your side and guides you through the process step by step.
Dharshak Patel is a genius. He has given me perfect monovision! The procedure was completely painless and not even stressful!

Amazing from start to finish - everyone who worked there were really lovely and reassuring. The treatment was easy and had I no issues. You can tell they are very experienced practise and Mr Carp even got in contact the same evening of my surgery to check everything was all okay. Worth every penny, now I don't have to bother with glasses anymore!

It's a year since I had my laser eye surgery, and I am so glad I did it. I'm 61 and am delighted not to need glasses to read or for long vision. The team at London Vision Clinic are excellent and the service has been the best.

I had SMILE refractive surgery performed by Professor Dan Reinstein early July (five weeks ago).

Every appointment I attended was professional and it’s clear LVC have the upmost care for you. All consultations were transparent and Vimal exercised a lot of patience answering all my questions / risk level understanding.

My profession is heavily reliant on my visual standards due to strict regulations within aviation, yet I felt comfortable and confident to make that decision.

The results have been incredible, it’s the first time I’ve been able to read the lines on the vision chart since I can remember. Very impressed with my vision so far.

I find the care diligent, warm, efficient, the staff very friendly and helpful. I also feel that the post procedure care is thorough.

The team are highly professional and very personable. The whole experience was flawless and the procedure itself was painless. The improvement in my vision is amazing.

A very professional and caring outfit. All the staff were courteous. My Surgeon and Optometrist were excellent. I was looked aver very well prior, during and after surgery. I couldn't be happier with result.

Every body was polite, knowledgable and kind from beginning to end.
The actual procedure was performed expertly and the team worked together seamlessly.
