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

Reviews and testimonials are everywhere. However, it’s important to be cautious when reading testimonials and know that the Laser Eye Surgery experiences may not necessarily reflect your own. Furthermore, if you’re looking to gain a well-rounded and balanced opinion, patient comments published on a clinic’s website can only go so far. We strongly recommend that you read fully independent reviews, such as Google reviews or Trustpilot to find out what our patients have to say about the clinic.

Of course, patient reviews are subjective and are not evidence-based. For outcomes statistics, we recommend you examine quantified Laser Eye Surgery results.

Patient Video Reviews

We also have a fair few folks who have created short video diaries that you may want to watch. There are too many to list here so we created a YouTube box set of the top 25 patient videos.

I would highly recommend London Vision Clinic to anyone interested in getting LASIK done!! I felt comfortable and completely informed & prepped each step of the way. The procedure itself was 100% painless and over within minutes! The clinic have an amazing aftercare process so there is no need to worry post op. Wonderful team! Best decision I have ever made!

London Vision Clinic are amazing. From my first consultation, they were thorough, friendly, and put me at ease with my future eye surgery. The surgery itself was outstanding and I can't believe how relaxed I was made to feel. The post op care was fantastic, with even receiving a message from Dr Patel to check in on me. They go above and beyond with their care and treat you as if you are part of the Clinic family. I cannot recommend them enough and have shouted about my whole experience to everyone I know. Thank you to you all!

I had the SMILE procedure done with Dr Glenn Carp at London Vision Clinic with Rhiannon Peters as my Patient Care Coordinator and Sharon Ritchie as my optometrist. Everyone is very lovely and all throughout the process, everyone involved communicated clearly and swiftly. The procedure itself was very smooth, and the follow-up has been very reassuring from the team. I can currently see better than 20/20 and have had very minimal side effects. I highly recommend this clinic. It's not a cheap procedure but it's better to pay extra for that peace of mind that you're in very capable hands.

I had a great experience at LVC. ALL FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS are being conducted professionally. Overall i am happy with the service provided. Life has been changed completely. The only thing I would say why did i not do it sooner. At the moment the only thing i am struggling is near vision which is slightly soft focused but im told that it will gradually improved.

I am so glad I chose the London Vision Clinic after much research. I have got to the age where not only could I not see far away but I also couldn't see close up. I therefore had the blended vision procedure three months ago. The procedure itself was quick, easy and painless. I was obviously a little nervous, but everyone was amazing. You literally look at a light for a few minutes for each eye, with no pain or discomfort and it is then done. I also had no discomfort after the procedure. I am still amazed at how easy it was. There are then follow up appointments to check everything is ok. I am happy with the results. This is the best place you can go, I would highly recommend.

I had a SMILE laser procedure nearly 10 years ago now, I had dry eyes to start with and after my procedure and recovery my eyes haven’t been any drier than they were, I have perfect vision apart from reading which was expected as I get older. Very glad I had it and ditched the contacts and glasses. The service is brilliant here and more importantly my eye sight has remained very sharp. Highly recommend the team.

I had a wonderful experience at LoVC, right from my initial call with Megan, all the way through to the surgery with Mr Carp and his team, and everyone else for the follow up and aftercare. I can't believe how quick and easy the whole process was, and pain free. Thank you!

What a voyage with these guys. They are so professional from when you ring to enquire through to the Procedure itself and the aftercare.It's been nearly one year glasses free and I'm loving itA huge thank you to them too, as I had an eye problem, non related to the actual surgery, and they steered me through, gave me their time and expertise and resolved my issue. So so glad I was in such safe hands.Would highly recommend. I'd give more stars if I could...

I had my surgery yesterday and attended today for my post-op check. Extremely happy with the result- no pain or discomfort, a little blurry but to be expected so soon after the procedure. The whole team have been friendly and professional throughout my journey, making me feel at ease. Would high recommend London Vision Clinic!Update: have had my 1 month post op check. Everything is going smoothly and their care and professionalism is fantastic. Highly recommend
I cannot recommend the London Vision Clinic highly enough and my only regret is not having the surgery sooner! All the staff were so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable throughout all the tests as well as the surgery itself and it was very reassuring to be able to check in with any questions in the hours following the procedure.

London Vision Clinic filled me with confidence. The professionalism of all the many staff, the advanced machinery, pleasant offices, intelligent data-based literature and caring consultations all made a potentially difficult decision easy. The surgeon himself took time to recheck and consider all the data about me before a painless and quick operation.6 months after the operation, I can see clearly both short and far without correction for the first time in 40 years. It has been a game-changer. I thoroughly recommend LVC. Richard Wood...Age 63.

I'm 5 weeks in from having LASIK surgery although I've been sitting on having laser correction for some years. In the end, I got to the point in life where the lack of clear vision was affecting me both physically and mentally so I knew I had to do something about it. I did my research over an extended period of time by watching youtube videos, reading white paper articles and I knew I didn't want to just take a chance on meeting a surgeon who was unknown to me on the day of surgery. This was probably the main reason why I chose the London Vision Clinic as I had picked the surgeon I wanted to operate on me years before I actually had the surgery and I'm so glad I did. The entire experience with LVC has been second to none, the optometrists have been brilliant and left nothing to chance by checking, then rechecking and at no point do you ever feel that you're just a number as it really does feel as though you're just visiting friends for a chat. Throughout my experience, communication has been faultless, even post surgery, contact is made in the evening by ther clinic to ensure everything is OK. It really is an eye opener to see a company running such a tight ship and when you at arrive at the clinic, it becomes quite clear that the young girls on reception have patient coordination fully under control.So the end result of my experience with LVC is being able to read car number plates from mega distances and being able to read the small print on vitamin boxes all without vision aids, it's that good and it's still improving!Thank you so much London Vision Clinic

I have been searching for years for a reputable clinic to treat my vision. LVC has surpassed my expectations with amazing support pre and post care. Worth every penny! the staff and surgeons were precise and welcoming. I would certainly recommend LVC over any other centre.
I was hesitant to get eye surgery, but after having poor vision that made life without glasses impossible my entire life, I finally reached out to the London Vision Clinic.I have nothing but positive things to say about the care, transparency, bedside manner, and result after getting SMILE. If you're on the fence, but want eye surgery, please give them a chance. The cost was absolutely worth it.

I had SMILE and the results have been fantastic. I chose London Vision Clinic because they were the pioneers of SMILE and from research seemed to be "the best" option in the UK, and despite having to travel from the west country into London for each appointment i'm very glad that i chose them over other providers that were closer to me. I appreciated their flat rate pricing - all aftercare included, and the surgeon picks the best type of surgery for your specific eyes depending on what they find out about them during the screening process. Great pre screening and aftercare, specialists answered every question i had about why this/that, also flexible on dates and moving appointments around work commitments.I didn't have any complications, but i'd say that if i were to have any that these are the people i'd want dealing with them - from talking with the surgeon I think people who have issues from surgeries at other clinics actually get referred here to have them sorted out.For me it was worth the price/risk, my advice would be that you've only got 1 set of eyes so it's worth travelling and perhaps paying a little bit more to come here if you decide you want to have it done.

I had SMILE surgery in March 2023 and the results have been life changing. I was -5 in both eyes and had spent so much money and time on contact lenses and glasses. This was an investment and it paid off!! It has been so liberating to be able to wake up and see!! I have been able to do so much I couldn’t before - travel easily, go camping without worrying about contacts, swimming etc.I was so impressed with the care I received here. All the staff are incredibly friendly and caring. During the surgery, Dan talked me through each step of what he was doing which made me feel completely at ease. They were very informative and clear about the recovery process and side effects that may occur. It took ~3 months for my eyes to fully adjust and now, 9 months later, I have little to no side effects or issues. I experienced some dryness a few months ago and LVC were quick to book an appointment with me and give me the appropriate drops and advice. Super impressed by and grateful for the high quality of aftercare.

Had SMILE with Mr Carp, which was all completed within a few weeks from my first enquiry. Extremely professional throughout, providing an abundance of detail concerning the surgery and diagnostic results. The surgery itself was extremely quick and painless, and I tested at better than 20/20 vision at the checkup the day after. Highly recommended.

Dr Carp and his team have been absolutely magnificent. I’ve had so many questions and they’ve answered all of them. I felt confident and at ease. With the laser, everything worked out so well. Whilst I was getting my eyes lasered, Dr Carp talked to me throughout, describing all that I was seeing which made me feel comforted and in safe hands. Nothing came as a surprise. The team recited a magical chant which I am yet to ask about but I’m going to tell myself they were blessing me with spidey-vision, because that is what I wake up with now. The first morning I felt like Bella from Twilight when she had just become a vampire and got triple HD vision. I’m so happy I went through with this and thankful to have such a great team take care of my precious eyes.
Absolutely fantastic.I would really like to highlight how great Kate my patient care coordinator is. She managed this process from start to finish. She answered all of my initial questions and in no gave me a hard sell, unlike other clinics I had made enquiries with.My surgeon Glenn was lovely and very reassuring. Took less than two minutes per eye to do the actual surgery.Very happy with the results.

I have undergone my surgery in Jun 2022 at LVC after wearing contacts and glasses majority of my life. I can’t praise them enough, the procedure was quick and painless and recovered the next morning. Prof Reinstein is the best in business and the service was exceptional. One year on, my vision is still the same and fully settled with no side effects.Highly recommended and worth every penny and more, would discourage looking at cheaper providers as i think that you “get what you pay for” in terms of your health.Thank you and all the very best.

After waiting many many years to have Laser eye treatment I couldn't be happier with my surgery. The whole experience has been a joy from start to finish. You know you are in the best of hands when you enter the clinic, from the wonderfully friendly and helpful reception staff, to the optometrists to the the surgeon himself. I cannot recommend this clinic enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Extremely happy with my experience of getting lasik with LVC. I was rejected by other clinics due to what they thought was a complication with my corneas, LVC were the only clinic that did further testing and found that it was in fact just a scar from a scratch in my cornea. LVC went above and beyond in every respect. From the waiting rooms having snacks, refreshments and entertainment, to the surgeon texting on the evening of the surgery to check in and make sure everything was ok. 2 months after the surgery, my recovery is ahead of schedule, I see perfectly and could not be happier with the results.Highly recommend.

I had ICL surgery at the London Vision Clinic with Mr Darshak Patel several weeks ago and my whole experience has been excellent. I have gone from a very high prescription of about -8/9 to better than 20/20 vision. I never thought I would be able to have such amazing vision!At my initial consultation I was given the option of SMILE or alternatively ICL because of my high prescription I'd be slightly undercorrected with SMILE. I was given all the information about both procedures and the risks to help me choose which was the right option for me, though there was never any pressure to make a decision either way. After a lot of thought and questions I settled upon ICL and I'm very happy with that decision!I felt very well looked after from the first consultation all the way through to the surgery day and my post op appointments. The testing is very comprehensive and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional. Although I was nervous to have the surgery I knew I was in the very best of hands. Surgery and recovery went very well and I am enjoying my freedom from glasses and contact lenses. I only wish I had done it sooner! Thank you to all the team at LVC!

A life changing experience.I couldn’t see anything. I couldn’t read. I needed different glasses for different things. Reading glasses, far away glasses, tele glasses , screen glasses .I used to misplace them all the time . Couldn’t read a menu in a restaurant .. what a nightmare.Having the eyes surgery changed my life.The service was 1st class , the consultant very compétant , caring and interested in getting me to see better . Dan Reinstein my surgeon was fabulous in explaining what will happen on the day . I felt completely safe knowing my eyes were in good hands . The surgery was very quick , painless and everything was done so I feel relaxed . I recovered very quickly . The best money I have spent for a long time .

I recently had laser eye surgery to correct a high long-sighted prescription at London Vision Clinic, and I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough. Everything from the initial contact to my three-month post surgery check that i just had has been of the best standard. The process is very smooth, well organised and all the staff are very professional and knowledgeable, taking time to conduct thorough assessments and explain all risks and benefits clearly.The atmosphere of the clinic is also very nice, it feels very friendly, premium and caring. I have had a really excellent experience and it has been well worth the cost. Thank you!
