My experience of cataract surgery at Moorfields Private.

I recently had two cataract operations at Moorfields private hospital. They were successful and I am very happy with the result. However, the doctor did not wear a mask at all times in my private room and his consulting room, though he did, of course, during the operations, and he made a minor mistake on one of my prescriptions.

Cataract Surgery

Required cataract surgery on my left eye due to an earlier Vitro- rectomy procedure I had earlier this year. I cannot fault the service and professionalism of Dr Deshmukh. He understood my condition and took into account my previous eye surgery I had done early in the 90’s. The op itself was quick pain free and I’m very pleased with the outcome / vision correction with edof lense fitted to correct my prescription. I would not hesitate to use his services again.

Beautiful deep colours again!

I had cataract surgery carried out on both eyes one week apart. I opted for the EDOF replacement lenses, which give excellent distance and intermediate vision. This has corrected the astigmatism in both eyes and I now have 20/20 vision. I can clearly see the dashboard and satnav on my car without glasses! I only need +1.0 for reading small print. Mr Deshmukh and his team were very thorough and professional. The entire operation was carried out very smoothly.
I would highly recommend Mr Deshmukh to anyone needing cataract surgery and would also recommend the EDOF lenses.

Splendid transformation

I underwent Cataract surgery performed by Mr Deshmukh on 9th of May. I was so anxious before the surgery as I have been told of at City Road A&E and during pre-surgery that I had waited for too long before the op. I am so glad Mr Deshmukh chose to do the surgery himself as the message before op was , this is going to be a difficult one. The Consultant was so calm and reassuring that my concerns were greatly relieved. I am both astonished and delighted with my new clarity of vision, as a result, I have a rejuvenated life.
I did not need any pain killer. I am so delighted. Pure magic.

Excellent results

I had bilateral cataract surgery two months ago, and have been delighted with the results. Mr Rajesh Deshmukh implanted trifocal lenses (both at the same time), with the result that I no longer need to wear glasses. Although I was initially slightly nervous about doing both eyes at once, the process was quick and painless, and saved the trouble of having to schedule two procedures. I can thoroughly recommend Mr Deshmukh and his team.

My Mum is 96 years of age

My Mum is 96 years of age. Her Eye sight had deteriorated significantly, limiting her for reading. We decided to go ahead with the Bilateral cataract surgery. Mr Deshmukh made the procedure so painless and explained what to expect, he put Mum at ease who was a little nervous. There were no complications and Mum had immediate improved vision, amazing! All eye sight back to normal so quickly.
Would highly recommend this surgery and the surgeon. It has given Mum a new lease of life with her reading and all.

Life changing procedure

I was delighted with the lens replacement procedure carried out by Mr Deshmukh three weeks ago. I had worn contact lenses for 45 years but three years ago, in my early 60’s, had to abandon them for glasses, on which I was completely dependent. Now I only need to wear +1 glasses for reading the smallest print (eg ingredient lists on food packets). I had both eyes done on the same day which was easy and convenient and was back at work the following afternoon. The procedure itself was completed within about 45 minutes and all the staff were kind, supportive and helpful. I would recommend sedation on top of the anaesthetic as although the procedure is painless it helps to be completely relaxed.

One of the standout aspects of our experiance with Mr Deshmukh was his expertise in advising us on the best lens for my left eye,which has resulted in a significant improvement in my vision.We are thrilled to share that My wife no longer require glasses.Thanks to his insightful recommention
Overall ,we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and skill demonstrated by Mr Deshmukh The successful outcome of the laser treatment and cataract surgery, coupled with the improved vision ,has truly transferred my quality of life

The world is back in focus

I guess like most people about to undergo cataract surgery I was just a little trepidatious as I walked into Moorfields back in January. I was told the operation on both eyes would be relatively simple and completely painless but even so, lurking in the brain were fears of lasers, scalpels and who knew what other implements of torture all coming for my eyeballs. When I walked out again a couple of hours later, the world was transformed. Everything was brighter and shinier and the next morning when I opened the paper I could read faultlessly without glasses for the first time in 15 years. So what about the “horrors” of the operation? I should have believed what I had been told by Mr Deshmukh: there was no pain, no discomfort even, just 40 minutes or so lying on my back while fuzzy images of him and his team transformed my life. A month later I am only just starting to get a little blase about that transformation. The world is back in focus and I cannot thank Mr Deshmukh enough nor praise him sufficiently for his skill and expertise.
