The Doctor’s Doctor
One of the most common questions we are asked is “Do Eye Surgeons and Doctors have vision correction surgery?”
Doctors – in particular eye surgeons, have flown from different continents to be taken care of by our team at Centre for Sight. It is our pleasure to introduce some eye surgeons who have had surgery with us.
Dr R. Dasgupta, General Practitioner, Surrey
“I have greater confidence after having Laser Cataract Surgery with Trifocal lenses. I no longer need glasses and able to do all activities with ease.”
Retired General Practitioner R. Dasgupta from Surrey underwent Laser Cataract surgery with Sheraz Daya after his vision became blurred and hindered his day to day activities. It was his wife, a patient at Centre for Sight, who made his decision easier due to the success of her Cataract treatment 7 years ago.With his driving, writing, reading and general computer hobbies becoming harder over the years, his decision to have multifocal lenses has provided him with great vision at short, intermediate and long distance, and he is now glasses free.
