The best decision I ever made.

I have always been apprehensive about eye surgery, but having undergone double lens replacement surgery with Mr Balaggan two weeks ago, all I can say is that I wished I had done it many years ago. From the initial consultation through to the follow-up assessment, the whole experience has been incredible. Mr Balaggan explained everything clearly and concisely, including all the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure. and any question, no matter how trivial, was answered with professionalism and courtesy. From being incredibly short-sighted, my sight improved immediately and is continuing to improve. I can read a book, work at a computer, watch television and drive, all without the aid of glasses. Mr Balaggan recommended the Clareon Vivity lens and the results have been amazing. It has been truly life-changing and l will be forever grateful. Thank you!

A highly successful, professional and seamless experience!

Having recently had cataract procedures in both eyes, Mr Balaggan ensured that the experience (on both occasions) was a positive one. Mr Balaggan explained every step with care and empathy, allaying any worries I had, and was reassuring from start to finish, including super aftercare too. My recovery from both procedures was seamless, vision in both eyes is now amazing, and I can drive confidently at night again!!! Thank you too to Debbie, his secretary, always at hand on the other end of the telephone or an email, and to his team of professionals.

After our local eye hospital saying my eye operation was problematic. Both had Cataracts but with other issues. I was recommended to Mr Balaggan who conducted eye surgery on both of my eyes one month apart and both operations were successful. I found him to be a very pleasant helpful person that put me at ease and gave me confidence in his ability to sort out my eye problem. I would recommend anyone with issues with their eyes to contact him for assistance. I now have good vision that I have not had for years.

After reading previous patient reviews I chose Mr Kam Balaggan for my recent cataract eye surgery in both eyes. I found the treatment and care received to be first class from an extremely professional, caring, excellent surgeon, along with his secretary and the staff at Spires Eye Centre.
I was apprehensive about eye surgery but Mr Balaggan put me at ease from the initial appointment, through both ops and post op appointment where he explained fully every step of the way.
I am very pleased with the successful outcome and would highly recommend Mr Balaggan to anyone needing eye surgery. Thank you to all the team.

Jacqui

Mr. Balaggan has now performed surgery on both of my eyes in the last couple of months and I cannot stress enough how reassuring and knowledgeable he is. He put me at ease from my very first appointment to my last one today, I paid for up graded lens and what a difference it has made my life. I even surpassed Kam's expectations today by reading the very bottom line of his eye chart 2 lines lower than the 20/20 line. Debbie his secretary and the rest of his staff, were fantastic from the very beginning to the end of my procedures. If you need eye surgery I would highly recommend him you won't be disappointed I have worn glasses for over 60 years and a whole new world has opened up for me. Thank you for looking after me so well.

Outstanding surgeon

I first met Mr Balaggan when I had emergency surgery for a detached retina I was so scared and shocked I was going to lose my eyesight . He was so calming and reassuring I completely put my full trust in him. The operation was successful and 6 months later I had cataract operations in both eyes with intraocular lenses inserted. I am now glasses free with 20/20 vision . I cannot thank Mr Balaggan enough for saving my eyesight and changing my life . I highly recommend him after the 3 procedures undertaken by him and his team.

Fantastic consultant.

Mr Balaggan is exceptional at what he does, he has treated me over the last year, and had done 3 surgeries on my eyes. He explains everything so well and you know exactly what is going to happen. I'm just so thankful that we found his website and decided to consult him.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Kam Balaggan is excellent.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of having Kam Balaggan to perform my Epiretinal Membrane Surgery and he was absolutely fantastic. He is an amazing surgeon who I would thoroughly recommend. He is also such a nice man who is very accommodating, he listens to you he takes time to explain his answers, and he puts you totally at ease.
Mr Balaggan's Secretary/PA Debbie is also extremely helpful and totally lovely too.
My surgery has been very successful, Mr Balaggan is a wonderful man and a top notch surgeon I am returning shortly to have my cataract surgery performed by him and I have no doubt that it will be another excellent experience. Thank you so much Mr Balaggan.
