The next best thing to first-hand experience is the experience of others.

Amazing experience! I went in for a consultation on the 2nd of December, surgery done after 3 weeks! Currently it's one month post op and it has been the best choice of my life!
Thank you so much to the whole team of London Vision clinic to make this experience very easy and worries free! Special shout out to Shannon, to be so great and explain everything step by step and reassuring with a great smile in her face! Can't wait for the next few months and experience my eyes in full!

My experience with London Vision Clinic has been excellent. All of the staff have been professional and friendly, ensuring all my needs were met. The nursing, surgical and ophthalmology team showed clinical excellence, while being patient and supporting me through the procedure and the assessment and aftercare process. The team at reception were friendly, and my patient co-ordinator Meghan went above and beyond finding appointments that fit round my busy schedule. The clinic is easily accessible and well presented. The surgery has been life changing, and I would recommend the clinic to anyone considering it.

Very welcoming staff the second you arrive. Everything was explained in a great and easy to understand way. The experience so far has been amazing ….

The service was exceptional and highly professional. I never felt rushed when making decisions, and my patience coordinator, Kate, was incredibly supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. Dr. Glenn Carp, my surgeon, was reassuring and highly skilled, and the aftercare team provided outstanding support. Choosing London Vision Clinic was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to become glasses-free. I’ve already recommended them to several friends considering vision correction.

Having undergone ICL surgery, I can highly recommend London Vision Clinic- from the professional admin team, nurses and all the medicall staff to the cleanliness of the clinic.
Before the surgeon determined the appropriate procedure for me, there was a very thorough assessment of the health of my eyes with the latest equipment.
The prodedure was explained in detail before the day of the operation. On the day itself, the surgeon and the brilliant team of nurses were able to keep me calm despite my nerves.
The entire team were professional, kind and supportive throughout the entire process.

LASIK severely degraded my quality of life, 1+ year later, and the clinic let me know there's nothing more they could do to help, in the end. It's always a bit of a gamble, of course. I'd have liked the clinic to provide onwards referrals to other specialists at the end of the 1 year follow up period, which they didn't offer. However I have to say the initial surgery and post-LASIK care was good. Overall, I have mixed feelings, but it is of course biased by the poor outcomes I experienced.

From the moment I arrived at London Vision Clinic, the experience felt calm, professional, and genuinely reassuring. The reception team were welcoming and unhurried, and that sense of confidence carried through every stage of the journey.

The consultation was incredibly thorough. The team took time to explain my options clearly and honestly, focusing on what would be best for my eyes long-term. When ICL lenses were recommended, it was based on detailed testing and careful reasoning, which immediately built trust.

On the day of the procedure, everything was explained step by step, which made the experience far more relaxed than I’d expected. The treatment itself was quick and completely painless. Within hours, my vision already felt clear and natural.

What surprised me most was how the lenses felt afterwards or rather, how they didn’t. I couldn’t feel them at all. There was no adjustment period, no awareness of anything artificial. My vision simply felt sharper, calmer, and more natural than it ever had before. Colours felt richer, depth perception improved, and even night vision was noticeably better.

The aftercare was just as impressive as the procedure itself. Every follow-up felt personal, unhurried, and genuinely caring. I never felt like just another patient.

Overall, London Vision Clinic delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. ICL lenses didn’t feel like a compromise, they felt like a natural upgrade. I’d confidently recommend the clinic to anyone considering advanced vision correction.

Best decision of my life.

I had roughly -5.25 short sightedness -0.25 astigmatism in my left eye and -4.25 short sightedness and -3.25 astigmatism in my right.

I wasn't sure if I would be applicable for SMILE surgery due to the astigmatism - but I was!

I won't go into the details, but the consultation is worth the money. My friend went to the clinic and was declined surgery due to not being applicable, they were fully refunded.

The surgery was smooth, the healing process was simple. If you're like me, you probably will spend all the days leading up to the surgery looking for other people's experiences on YouTube.

If you have a similar situation to me, be aware, the higher astigmatism eye does take longer to heal. At my 24h checkup my left eye was already 20/16, but my right eye wasn't able to see much at all. By my 1 month checkup I'm 20/16 in both eyes.

Halos and starbursts are normal, but for me, I saw an improvement in the starbursts. They went from long rays to condensed stars, and they seem to be improving week on week.

This was a scary decision to make, if you're an anxious person like myself you will look online and those with the worst experiences yell the loudest. I think the reviews of this surgery speak for themselves. If you're thinking of having SMILE (or LASIK), I really do recommend going for the consultation here.

Thanks to everyone involved in helping me regain my eyesight!

Very helpful

When it comes to eye surgeries, everyone always says, “I wish I’d done it earlier” - and while I understand that now, I’m genuinely glad I waited until I found London Vision Clinic. From my very first interaction, I felt confident that I was in the right place.

My patient coordinator, Kate O’Brien, and her colleagues did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. They provided clear and thorough information at every step, keeping me exceptionally well-informed, which made the experience feel calm and reassuring from start to finish.

Dr. Glenn Carp and the whole team were incredibly caring and professional. The SMILE procedure itself was over faster than I could have imagined. During recovery, the clinic staff regularly checked in on me and were always available if I had any questions, so I felt consistently supported and well taken care of.

As many others have mentioned - and I can now fully agree - my SMILE surgery was truly life-changing. Despite the large number of patients they see, London Vision Clinic always made me feel like their top priority every time I walked through the door. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
