Implantable Contact lenses
"After years of wearing glasses and contact lenses I began to suffer severely with dry eyes meaning wearing lenses was no longer an option. I was initially terrified at the prospect of surgery, but staff at St Helens Hospital who had previously had similar surgeries immediately put me at ease with their anecdotes and experiences. The procedure itself was uncomfortable and painful, but the results made it all worth it. I could see immediately and my vision improved day by day. Now, almost 1 year later my vision is better than it ever was with the aid of glasses and lenses. Waking up and being able to see in 20/20 vision without having to grope around for my glasses still amazes me today and I would recommend ICL surgery to anyone."
Lucinda G (Newcastle)
"I had ICL in March 2013 and my only regret is not doing it before then! The procedure was completely painless and so quick with immediate results. After being shortsighted for just over 30 years it was brilliant to wake up and be able to see without glasses or contact lens again! Now there’s no need to pack numerous packs of disposable contact lenses in a suitcase when going on holiday, no need to worry about blurred vision in a swimming pool or the sea or even must think about putting in contact lenses when eyes are feeling tired – my eyes look so much brighter and healthier now. I would wholeheartedly recommend it without any hesitation!"

"Where do I start with my gratitude? As I sit here at the laptop, looking at the screen without the need for glasses or contacts, words fail me. It's been perhaps just over a month since I had my Implantable Contact lens therapy and still, I am at awe over it all. Having the ICL surgery was the best decision I’ve ever made. Obviously, I had my doubts at first. Fear of the surgery itself let alone any possible aftermath was all consuming but once I was in the more capable and comforting hands of the team, I knew everything was going to be fine. The excitement is still lingering today! I have my eyes back so to speak. I wake up in the morning and it's up-and-gone. Coming home from work and I don’t have the tired dry eyes from continuous wear and tear of contacts. The convenience of it all reflects in the health of my eyes. Thanks, will never be enough: not only for the surgery but for looking after me so well and all your kindness. To anyone having doubts, don’t. Coming from a person who was not so long ago in your position, I can truly say I have never looked back. It's unbelievable the difference a tiny implantable lens can make. Thanks to Dr Chitkara and the team."
Fariha B
"I would like to thank Mr Chitkara and his team for making my ICL procedure a success. I am an electrical engineer and have to read schematic drawings and use many HMI screens, so glasses weren’t really an option for me. The procedure was totally painless with no needles and carried out in a relaxing and stress free manner. From parking the car to leaving the hospital after the operation was only three and half hours approximately. The procedure restored both my near and far sight. If anyone wants to know more information about my experience, I would be happy for them to contact me by telephone."
Terry C (Liverpool)
Thank you so much for your hard work in treating my eyes, it's made all the difference in the world not having to go through the trouble and stress of wearing contact lenses or losing and finding my glasses! I was very confident in your work, and I am even happier that my eyes are fine even though I didn’t come and see you after the surgery, that shows how much confidence I had in you! I just hope my eyesight remains good for several years. I have an appointment in January and look forward to seeing you and having a nice chat with Anne. Thank you again."

"I would like to thank you for my ‘new eyes’. It is just great to be able to see so well without the hassle of putting on glasses or contact lenses. I have a slight blur with lights at night but apart from that everything is fine. I feel like I have so much energy to do things it's quite amazing. I just wish it could last longer than 10-15 years! Still technology could have changed enormously by then. Thanks once again I am so grateful."

Lens Exchange
"Very pleased with the outcome of lens replacement (October 2015)- Thankful that I did not go through a high street outlet for laser treatment or lens replacement. The service provided was friendly, professional, and efficient. The aftercare was also very good. I would recommend it to anyone who was in my position of having poor (short sighted) vision and increasing deterioration reading up close. My Thanks to Mr Chitkara and his team."
Richard W
"I first had my eyes treated in 1997 by Dr Chitkara and the procedure was very successful, my vision being first class. At the time Dr Chitkara explained that my eyesight would deteriorate again after about 10 years. In fact, my eyes were fine for nearly 15 years. I managed to get back in contact with Dr Chikara in 2015, nearly 18 years after my first procedure to see if I could have laser surgery once again. After a consultation Refractive eye surgery was recommended as this would be a PERMANENT solution. The procedure was simple and painless, and I am pleased to say I now have great vision and am delighted with the result. I can't thank Dr Chitkara enough for his excellent care and skill."
Steve Rodgers, Manchester
"As a long time, contact lens wearer (over 30 years) I was keen to identify a more permanent solution for good eyesight without specs. I went to Viewpoint vision and received very clear advice and information about what would be right for me and details of the procedure. I underwent refractive lens exchange; the procedure on each eye was quick and painless and I felt in very safe hands. Within a few days I was driving and then back at work as normal. My eyesight is extremely good now for both distance and reading. I am delighted with the outcome and the friendly, helpful, and highly professional service I received throughout the process. I can also enjoy leisure interests even more which include yoga, running and swimming."

"Brilliant treatment from start to finish. I would recommend this doctor 100% to anyone. Brilliant eyesight."

Cataract reviews
"I had Refractive Lens Exchange in June 2015 in both eyes due to suffering from cataracts. After the initial consultation with Mr Chitkara the whole experience was very professional, sympathetic, and reassuring. The procedure was pain free, no injections used, only drops used to anaesthetise my eyes. The operation performed by Mr Chitkara was excellent, taking only around forty minutes for both eyes from the drops being put into my eyes to me being taken back to the day ward, for coffee and biscuits. The result was unbelievable, 20/20 vision, from being able to read very small print to seeing to the horizon, making all my glasses redundant. The aftercare service is excellent. I would highly recommend Mr Chitkara and his team to anyone requiring eye surgery."
Ron D, Huyton
"I had surgery in April 2013. I had varifocal lenses and had needed glasses since the age of 8. Since developing cataracts, I had researched procedures for lens replacement which could offer more than fixed distance correction. It was not a decision undertaken lightly and I can say that the care I received was excellent. It has taken me time to get accustomed to the bright headlights, but my vision is very good and I no longer wear glasses even to thread needles at night. Good after care, treatment and very pleased."

Laser reviews
"I am writing this email to Thank you for performing the LASEK procedure in January 2016. From the first consultation that I had with you and to this date, you have shown the utmost care and professionalism throughout my treatment. Not only did you answer all my questions, but also alleviate any concerns that I had and advise me on the best procedure for my vision. Furthermore, your knowledge and years of expertise, enabled me to have confidence in the procedure and I am delighted with the results. Thank you once again for correcting my vision and enabling me to have a clearer perspective of life. "
Hassan M (Liverpool)
"I've been debating having LASER eye surgery for years. But it's one of the best decisions I've made. I will recommend Viewpoint Vision to others. Mr Chitkara made the whole process easier and put me at ease."

"A very professional team who did a great job from start to finish. Mr Chitkara is an excellent surgeon who provided an excellent service. I wish that I had laser treatment sooner."
Mark M
"I am totally satisfied with the treatment I have received. I was made to feel at ease and received comprehensive information and the aftercare was extensive. PS I would like to return annually for a comprehensive eye test. Incredibly pleased, I decided to have the surgery. Received excellent care throughout from Dr Chitkara. Highly recommended."
Lukas W (Dukinfield)
"Thanks for the brilliant Service that you provided when you did my LASIK eye surgery. Professional throughout from consultation to follow up service. Not to mention the brilliant results. I am now able to do my job as a teacher with lots more confidence (I can now actually see the work that the children produce) Thanks again."
