    For several years, I have been seeing Mr Deshmukh for suspected glaucoma and have been very impressed by his skill and sensitivity. When he suggested that now was the time to have cataract surgery, I had no hesitation in following his advice. He is very good at explaining the procedures and I opted for bilateral surgery with premium interocular lenses.I was slightly apprehensive before the operation but was reassured by all the staff. They were quite right as immediately afterwards I could read the notices in the corridor. It is wonderful not to be wearing glasses. I am 83 years old and cannot recommend Mr Deshmukh highly enough.

    I can 100% recommend Mr. Rajesh Deshmukh for eye surgery. Mr. Deshmukh performed a cataract operation on my right eye during March 2024 and on my left eye eleven weeks later. In each case, it would have been possible to drive within two days after the operation. I drove after six days, as I do not drive every day. I can now read a car number plate at 63 metres. His whole medical team was very good at reducing my anxiety prior to the operations, which were painless. In each case, I would not have known that my eye had undergone an operation, other than the effects of the pupil dilation drops taking a full 24 hours to completely diminish. Before the operation, my eyes exceeded the legal requirement for driving, but the possibility of not being able to drive in the future was never going to be acceptable to me. I believe we forget how good our eyes once were, as changes happen very slowly over a very long time-period.

    I’m 58-year-old who had early onset of cataracts. The cataract surgery was complicated by some RK surgery I had around 25 years ago. The cataracts were affecting my golf, I was struggling to play tennis under floodlights and drive in the dark. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I now have perfect distance eyesight and can comfortably read texts on my phone and night vision is excellent. Mr Deshmukh took the time to understand my demands and complications with my eyesight. He clearly takes pride and interest in his work; I can’t recommend him highly enough.

    Mr Deshmukh carried out bilateral cataract surgery and insertion of trifocal lenses three weeks ago. The whole process was easy and reassuring. I can honestly say that the surgery itself was relaxing and pleasant - if you’re putting it off because you’re nervous - don’t be! This is the first time in nearly seventy years that I haven’t worn glasses and it’s life changing.
