ReLEx SMILE

I had ReLEx SMILE treatment with Mr Gormley a week ago and I am so happy with the outcome!
The whole experience from consultation to the surgery and the aftercare have all been fantastic.
I would highly recommend the Custom Vision Clinic to anyone.

Great care, great service, great people

I have recently received first class treatment from James Ball and his team at Custom Vision Clinic.
I was so nervous beforehand, and Diane put me at ease and explained everything that would happen in a lovely way.
James Ball has such a calm and reassuring manner, he made me feel fully relaxed and certain that I had made completely the right decision.
The after care has been wonderful, and I have seen great improvements straight away.
I would have no hesitation in recommending James Ball and Custom Vision clinic.

Outstanding service and outstanding…

Outstanding service and outstanding result. I cannot over emphasise how happy I am with my lens replacement surgery carried out in early June 2021. Very short sighted, lifetime of contact lenses and an increasing number of other eye issues as I hit my fifties - all options fully explained - lens replacement surgery chosen and carried out quickly and painlessly. Right eye one Thursday, left eye the next Thursday. I am still enjoying waking up and actually being able to see! It’s like a miracle.
I thoroughly recommend Custom Vision Clinic to anyone considering lens replacement surgery - you will wonder why you didn’t do it years ago.

Excellent cataract surgery. Life changing result.

I was very very short sighted and had astigmatism and I had worn glasses and contact lenses for almost 60 years. James carried out bilateral cataract surgery using replacement toric lenses in early June.
What a great experience at Custom Vision Clinic! Everyone was reassuring and professional throughout all stages of the treatment.
I am delighted with the end result and can see better than I’ve ever seen! It’s a whole new world!
Thank you so much to the entire team.
I’m very grateful to James Ball who came highly recommended and deservedly so!!

Consider Custom Vision Clinic as a number 1 UK leader for Eye Treatment and Consultation

Custom Vision Clinic has got to be one of the leading eye specialists in the UK with a range of cutting technological equipment and very highly trained surgical performing personnel in giving a very thorough eye examination and conclude what is the best outcome and recommended eye treatment/surgery to be administered.
I was highly impressed on my 2 visits and the consultations I received and the professionalism that was evident throughout.
I can highly recommend them.

Amazing!

Incredible, couldn't recommend enough!
I had SMILE Lazer Eye Surgery and from my initial appointment to surgery day and since they have explained every step, answered every question and I have always felt very at ease with all the team. I was fairly nervous about the operation but everything was explained and there really is no pain! I am now 2 months post surgery and settling into life without glasses wonderfully! Thankyou James and all the team!

Amazing service & life changing vision!

I had my SMILE laser surgery Feb 2021 & it has been a huge success. I am thrilled with the results and no longer need glasses or contact lenses after nearly 40 years of wearing them. James has an outstanding skill and I am forever grateful for finding him and all the lovely staff at his clinic. They are all friendly & professional and I would recommend Custom Vision Clinic to anyone looking for their life changing eye surgery X

No hesitation in recommending

Right from the off I had 100% confidence in Mr Ball and CVC. Thoroughly professional, considered and reassuring. Logistics were easy, the procedure (double cataract) was efficient and the aftercare friendly and thorough. I'm now glasses free after 32 years!

Brilliant Blended Vision Treatment

I recently had presbyopia treatment for my eyes, if you listen to most people they are scared, worried about anything to do with eye surgery, i can say that Mr. Ball and his whole team are so very helpful insightful and technically brilliant. From my first meeting with them i was convinced that this is what i wanted, i cannot shout loud enough on every aspect of the proceedure. This is really life changing in so many respects. On this occasion 5 stars does not come anywhere near what they deserve. Well Done Mr. Ball And The Whole Team

I have recently had bilateral cataract surgery and tonic lens replacements.
From the first consultation Mr Jack Gormley and all the staff have been helpful, understanding explaining everything in detail and provided a reassuring and professional service.
The result is outstanding. Although the procedures were a little uncomfortable there was no pain. I could see clearly with both eyes within 24 hours of the procedures and now have excellent long distance vision and a reading prescription of -1.25. Which means I am virtually glasses free after 47 years of wearing glasses.

Excellent experience for cataract removal

I had a consultation at Custom Vision Clinic with Mr James Ball for a cataract problem in my right eye following a referral from Vision Express. The surgery was undertaken by Mr Ball at Nuffield Hospital in Leeds and it was quick and painless. My eye sight now is fantastic. The follow ups with optometrist, Gurpal Jutla, were also excellent. Very nice environment with very modern equipment. I would highly recommend this team.

Great option for Keratoconus consultation

Great option for Keratoconus consultation. Good advice and no push for unnecessary treatment. Actually advised that I be monitored by NHS as further treatment wasn't needed. Would definitely recommend.

Life changing!

Mr Ball and his team are fantastic. Everyone is really friendly and professional and made me feel at ease with having laser eye surgery (a potentially quite daunting experience otherwise). Having laser eye surgery has been completely life changing for me and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Finding a clinic who I could really trust has made all the difference.

Excellent customer service.

Having had a consultation that I was not comfortable with at another clinic, I then contacted Custom Vision. The staff there were all very professional and the customer care was second to none. My surgeon, James Ball, has performed an excellent pain free replacement of my lenses with new ones specific to my needs. Thank you to all concerned.
