A highly respected Norwegian laser eye surgeon, flew in to England and underwent Lasik with Intralase and Zyoptix Wavefront Aspheric correction at the Centre for Sight last week.

Dr. Trond Thilesen is Co-owner and Managing Director of All Bright & Clear Synskirurgi, Norway. The next day he was back in Norway enjoying his new vision, seeing his own patients and performing laser eye surgery himself using similar technology!

So why did Dr Thilesen feel the need to travel so far for his surgery?

"When you are choosing your laser eye surgery there are a number of issues that need to be addressed. Technique – Technology -  Algorithm - and most importantly, who to entrust your most valuable sense to?”

“As an Ophthalmologist who regularly does laser eye surgery these choices are not difficult to make. In terms of technology and algorithm, if you believe in your own clinic’s state-of-the-art technology, then you seek out a clinic that offers the same. In terms of surgeon, you choose a peer-respected consultant with a vast experience in corneal refractive surgery. With this in mind, entrusting my vision to Sheraz Daya and Centre for Sight was an easy decision to make.”

“Surgery was uneventful and pain-free. I have gone from. -6.5 diopters to near zero one day after surgery, with my vision continually improving. I am now seeing 20/20+ uncorrected and have already noticed an improvement in night vision. I know that my positive experience switching roles from surgeon to patient will benefit my own patients. Thank you Sheraz Daya and your team for your continual dedication to excellence in patient care.”

Centre for Sight have long had the reputation of being a doctor’s doctor, with many ophthalmologists, doctors, opticians and optometrists seeking the expertise and technology they offer for both their own and their family’s care.

Centre for Sight consider treating a medical or ophthalmic professional to be one of the highest accolades and a testament to their dedication to provide CFS patients with the highest standard and best possible care.

It's now three months since my surgery. I have stopped my ritual of searching for my -6 spectacles upon walking in the morning. Little things still remind me of how right the choice was to have laser surgery. For example, I still marvel at seeing the bathroom floor tiles when having my morning shower. Foggy glasses are no longer a source of outdoor irritation. New found freedom to explore activities such as skiiing without worrying what will happen to my glasses has given me a whole new visual experience. Once again thank you Mr Daya and Centre for Sight!
