Last year my optician told me he…
Last year my optician told me he couldn’t prescribe glasses until I had my cataracts removed and he recommended Thomas Ressiniotis at Midland Eye.
Thomas examined my eyes and explained the options for treatment very clearly to me and suggested that, as well as having the cataracts removed, I should consider having stents inserted to relieve the pressure in my eyes (a result of my long standing glaucoma).
I had the cataract in my right eye removed and a stent inserted in January this year and had the same procedure in my left eye in February.
I was a little nervous before the first operation but Thomas and his team were very caring and communicated clearly with me throughout the procedure. I was surprised at how quickly and painlessly the operation was completed. As a result, I approached the second operation with a great deal of confidence.
Now, both cataracts have been removed and at the age of 90 I am able to read books again. In addition, the pressure in my eyes has reduced significantly because of the stents although I am having further laser treatment in May to try and reduce them a little further.
I have no hesitation in recommending Thomas and would like to thank him and all at Midland Eye for the excellent care they have provided to me.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Cataract Surgery…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Cataract Surgery Experience
I recently had cataract surgery on my right eye performed by Mr Ressiniotis and his team, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received. From start to finish, Mr Ressiniotis provided exceptional reassurance and professionalism, ensuring I was comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.
The procedure itself was carried out promptly, with great precision and care, resulting in superb vision improvement. The entire team was kind, attentive, and highly professional, making the experience as smooth as possible.
I’m very happy I chose Mr Ressiniotis, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of expert eye care. Five stars all the way!
Thank You!

Mr Ressiniotis has treated me for glaucoma and cataracts in both eyes. He always explains everything very clearly and behaves in a considerate and professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Ressiniotis.

Mr Ressiniotis is a charming gentleman who puts one at ease before cutting into one's eyeball to remove a cataract, insert an implant and an I stent in about 30 mins. No pain, reassurance and information what was being done at all times.
Probably have the other eye done sooner rather than later.
Excellent Professional Care
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Ressiniotis for eye surgery. He is extremely professional and caring. He was very diligent in explaining the procedures and after care and this was very reassuring. I am delighted that I no longer need to wear glasses and the world is bright again!
Wonderful life changing experience
I can thoroughly recommend Mr. Ressiniotis for his knowledge, expertise and professionalism. From our first meeting to my discharge he kept me fully informed and relaxed regarding what to expect as the procedures progressed. It is now August 2024 and my eyes are so much 'clearer' and I am seeing details I had 'forgotten' about.
Thank you Mr. Ressiniotis
The best doctor
The best doctor we dealt so far. His calmness and reassurance increased our confident in making the right choice. A sincere thank you for your professionalism, for your support and for great result out of the surgery.
Would highly recommend Dr Ressiniotis
The world is bright again
I resived excellent treatment from Mr Ressiniotis. I was clearly informed at every stage and I was given excellent post operative treatment. Thank you very much you gave me back the ability to continue my favourite hobby of painting.
Top class professional
I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Ressiniotis's expertise and professionalism. I have been a patient under his care in both NHS and private circumstances. He operated on my eyes for glaucoma 10 years ago and on this review date for cataracts with excellent results.
I have always found him to be generous with his time during consultations and he is prepared to answer questions about an eye condition or surgical procedure in whatever detail the patient requires.
His calm, unhurried demeanor is reassuring and helps to allay the natural anxiety of undergoing surgery.
From my first appointment to discharge
From my first appointment to discharge, every step of the way was easy. I've had both Cataract's 'emulsified' and replaced with intraocular lens, in a 2 week period. I'm 75 years old and no longer need to wear glasses. The result for me is incredible. Everything is now so vivid and bright.
Mr Ressiniotis...I am so grateful for you're surgical skills, for how you explained everything thoroughly, and for never making me feel rushed during any appointment.
Your involvement in presenting at National and International meetings, your various publications, demonstrates you keep abreast in latest advances of everything related to Ophthalmology.
I knew from my first meeting that I had chosen well in you. You are a gentle soul, with a most calming presence. Privileged that you performed my surgery, privileged to have met you, and thank you once again.
Laser Capsulotomy
I had Yag Laser Capsulotomy yesterday, performed by Mr Ressinoitis at Spire Little Aston. The procedure was quick and painless. I was shown a short video before the treatment so I knew exactly what to expect.
I would recommend Mr Ressinoitis for Laser Capsulotomy without hesitation as I felt safe and confident in his care.
Mr Ressiniotis first performed a…
Mr Ressiniotis first performed a Trabeculotomy on my left eye some years ago and lately performed a YAG laser posterior capsulotomy (11/10/2023). On both occasions he provided great care and expertise with both operations being totally successful so I have no hesitaton in recommending him to others.
Lens replacement surgery
Thomas explained each and every part of the procedure, I had lens replacement surgery on both eyes, over 2wks. Pre surgery appointments and eye tests all done to exacting high standards. Discussions over all types of available procedures were explained and offered to me. Post op checks made and I'm absolutely 100% pleased with the results.
Total Professional
From my first appointment with Mr Thomas Ressiniotis I have to say that the treatment I received was exceptional he totally allayed my fears as to the pressures in my eyes and my subsequent treatment of cataracts in both eyes all of this was completed within two weeks and his explanations of all procedures was exemplary as were the staff at the Midland Eye. I would not hesitate to recommend this consultant to anyone wishing to have cataract surgery.
Life Changing
Life Changing! Not only Thomas but all the staff at Midland Eye were brilliant. They were very welcoming on each visit, making me feel relaxed and comfortable. No waiting around for ages to be seen. Thomas did an amazing job on both my eyes between 5 - 19 Sep 23, explaining everything that was going to happen each step of the way. I can't recommend him and Midland Eye highly enough.
Cataract removal both eyes
Yesterday I was discharged by Mr Ressiniotis following a check up on the cataract removal from my right eye, my left eye having been operated upon back in June.
I am very pleased to say that my distance vision is now like it was when I was a teenager, the change is remarkable and it such a relief not to have misted vision. I wake each day feeling overwhelmed at what i can now see clearly without the aid of glasses.
I return to my optician in approx 2 weeks time for a sight test and will only need glasses for reading.
I would like to thank Mr Ressiniotis and the whole team involved for making me feel very relaxed and reassured whilst attending appointments and during the procedures. Mr Ressiniotis is very professional and obviously an expert in his field.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Ressiniotis to anyone else needing cataract surgery.

Mr Thomas put me at ease and was very helpful with any matters i raised.
The two cataract operations he carried out were done within 2 weeks of each other and went very,very well.
The first one was on the 10/8/23 and second on 24/08/23. I was discharged yesterday.
I can now see long distance for the first time in 60 years!
I would recommend Mr Thomas to anyone who needs specialist eye treatment.
