Dubbed the Centre for Sight, the new building has been commissioned by Sheraz Daya, a surgeon who pioneered the use of laser eye correction in the UK and who previously maintained a smaller facility at the nearby Queen Victoria Hospital. Daya has always conducted his initial patient assessments at his office in London’s Harley Street. The East Grinstead facility is therefore conceived solely as a site for treatment. It is used intermittently but intensively — a laser operation can be performed in under 10 minutes, allowing Daya and his staff to attend to as many as 25 patients in the course of a day.
