Dr Hamid performed the cataract surgery on my right eye a few weeks ago. His professionalism was exemplary. He made me feel comfortable not by saying things to me but by the way he performed the surgery. I could realise immediately one it started, that I was in good hands. Once it was done all he said was "All done ! It went well with no complications". That's all I needed to hear. When I do need to get my left eye done I am going to insist that only he will preform the surgery. Thank you doc.

I had this surgery at Optegra by optegra's consultant surgeon who despite multiple clinical negligence cases is still performing their surgeries today. This appalling surgery has destroyed my life entirely. I have been left fighting for my sight and battling chronic pain years after the surgery. I am unable to work or leave the house and require constant carer's help. I was told I was a good candidate and that my surgical outcome was great. When i complained of symptoms and was refused post surgery care I was told I had signed the consent form and that it was not their responsibility. They simply referred me to the NHS where I and others have remained ever since. Now having spent years learning about this surgery and the industry behind it, I can confidently describe it as a borderline scam made possible by a total lack of regulation the world over. It is an unthinkable commoditisation of human eyes. This will be exposed in time, but until then I would encourage anyone who is prospectively exploring this surgery for themselves to at the very least to convince themselves by asking Optegra and their consultant surgeon if either have had any clinical negligence cases put to them relating to laser eye surgery. You will find they will struggle to answer you.
These surgeries have destroyed so many lives including my own. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about how much I hate having to live with the complications that refractive eye surgery has caused. Getting it was the biggest regret of my life. These surgeries don’t do anything good. The cornea was never meant to be cut into. They literally comprimise and destroy the integrity and structure of the eye. Anyone can wear glasses and almost anyone can wear soft contact lenses. It’s absolutley disgusting that you promote these horrible and completely unnecessary prodecures. I could never live with myself knowing that I’ve literally caused people to take their own lives because they could not handle the horrible vision issues and/or severe eye pain these surgeries can cause. Clearly you can somehow live with yourself but you have to be a completely souless person to profit off of the misery of others and be alright with this. What goes around comes around.
Had my right eye done in June as an elective at Stoke Mandeville…ten minutes and genuinely painless…quite extraordinary. Driving the next day. Too easy.
What they did Not tell me is I was going to have problems with my Both Retinas at the age 40s . .When I had my Implantable Contact Lenses.When I had surgery done on my Retinas the ICL had to be removed by the NHS because they were in the way
What they didn't tell me was that I was going to have problems with my Ritina in both eyes when I reach my 40s.When I had the Implantable contact Lenses surgery
I had SMILE by Optegra. It has left me with life long debilitating pain, severe dryness, an inability to open my eyes fully, poor, uncorrectable vision, multiple visual aberrations, chronic inflammation, high risk of glaucoma induced blindness and early cataracts. This appalling and unnecessary surgery has devastated my life. I fight depression and suicide each day. PLEASE DO NOT LET THESE UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE TAKE YOUR EYES.
Doctor, question please: I have had cataract surgery in my R eye for distance and it has worked giving me better distance vision. Next, I am doing a contact lens trail for short distance in my L eye. If I then go ahead with cataract surgery for near distance in the L eye (which has a more minor cataract compared to the right eye but I prefer to get this done now rather than later in life) and if after surgery I find I can't focus and see the detail on my computer screen for my work, will glasses help in this situation? Also, can I get glasses that will enhance distance vision for when I am driving?
This is a quote from Morris Waxler who was on the FDA who originally approved Laser refraction surgery for public use: "Here is a summary of the risks TWELVE months after LASIK with the Allegretto, AMO, and Nidek LASIK systems, the most recent FDA-approved systems. LASIK reduces dependence on glasses for about 50% of patients. The other 50% are MORE dependent on glasses. One year after surgery LASIK patients have a 2% to 20% likelihood of having painful eyes, dry eyes, and vision distortions. LASIK corneas never completely heal resulting in 2% with sight-threatening ectasia, retinal detachments, recurrent corneal erosions, and other complications. Also, 20% - 40% will have dry eyes, painful eyes, and vision distortions persisting for years after surgery. A large percentage of LASIK patients have difficulty with daily visual tasks, at least 2% but probably much higher. Did your corneal refractive surgeon (clinic) explain these risks to you? These are the risks with the most modern devices approved by FDA used by experienced surgeons. What did your surgeon tell you?"
PLEASE READ THIS: If this message prevents one unnecessary surgery then it would have been worth it. I had refractive surgery at Optegra London and it has left me severely disabled. They tell you the risks are nothing to worry about and you are a great candidate. Then when you complain after the surgery they don't take you seriously and make you feel like a burden. They refuse action and the cost of medication you desperately need. When it became clear my eyes were degenerating out of control they simply referred me away to NHS. They continue to ignore emails and deny the aftercare they promised. Two years on now I am unable to work, drive and look after my child. It has destroyed my life and my families lives. I'm in pain every day and my quality of life is so low suicidal thoughts are a constant battle. Please please please do not let commercially motivated surgeons like ones at Optegra who prioritise business over human life fool you into their shady operation. DON'T GET LASER SURGERY UNTIL THE INDUSTRY IS REGULATED. Paul Dance who took his life after a botched surgery and mistreatment by Optegra UK - RIP Paul we will continue to spread your word.
I go to Opetegra in London and all the staff are very friendly, approachable, helpful and very COVID aware with. I see Alex Shortt who is doing my cataracts, laser treatment. The reason I have chosen Alex is because he explains everything. First before he does it, is extremely patient, understanding and calm. I was highly recommended to him by my optician Jonathan Cohen.

PLEASE READ: I had refractive procedure done by Optegra and it destroyed my life. I now have to live each day with chronic pain, debilitating dry eyes and terrible vision that cannot be corrected. I can no longer work, drive or leave the house for more than 30minutes without severe pain. Optegra said I was a good candidate but several other doctors have subsequently told me I should never have been operated on. I believe Optegra have only commercial motivations and no interest in patient welfare. Jessica Star committed suicide shortly after having SMILE - I can understand why.
