Successful corneal cross-linking

Mark Wilkins performed my corneal cross-linking surgery and examined my eyes in several subsequent follow-up appointments. He was friendly and helpful throughout, and my keratoconus seems to have stopped progressing completely since the surgery. I’m very glad I had CXL, as it stopped the progression of the disease before it got bad enough to need contact lenses for everyday activities.

Thankyou for your excellent work while…

Thank you for your excellent work performing cataract surgery for me. Having compromised vision in one eye I was very nervous when I developed a cataract in my good eye, especially having witnessed the devastation my father faced when he lost his sight in his 40s. I sought the best surgeon I could find and Mark came highly recommended. I got an appointment the same day and within 2 weeks it was all done! No words are enough to express my appreciation for the service you provide Mark and I will remain forever grateful for your skill in restoring my vision.

Amazing service and experience

Amazing service and experience. I always wanted to do eye laser correction since I learned of its existence. When I visited Mr Wilkins I was finally eligible to have it and I'm now happily seeing things with perfect vision.
The process has been smooth from start to end. I would definitely recommend.

I couldn't be happier

I couldn't have been more impressed with everything from start to finish. I've wanted laser eye surgery as long as I can remember, and was very excited to finally be eligible, but was sure I'd have to wait a long time given COVID.

I was very lucky to be squeezed in just before restrictions tightened in January, and had no problems at all making any appointments along the way.

Everything was done in a a very COVID safe manner, including the procedure itself. Throughout, the team were professional friendly and helpful.

I'm loving my life without glasses I'm looking forward to feeling the full benefit when things reopen and I can get back to sport!

I can only offer my deepest thanks to Mark Wilkin and all his team for the excellent work to both my eyes. As a retired widow, knowing my sight is the best it has been for very many years it's of great comfort in these unprecedented times. The treatment was certainly the best value I have ever experienced.

Outstanding surgeon and team

I could not recommend Mark and his team more. When I first mentioned laser eye surgery, my optician recommended Mark as being one of the best surgeons. The whole team are really friendly and knowledgable which made me feel more comfortable about the surgery. The whole process was really quick and painless (the most complicated bit was remembering when my next set of eye drops were due after surgery). Best money I spent in 2020.

Fantastic treatment & care. Life changing results!

I came to see mark and his team for laser eye surgery after being recommended to him because I had very high and complex prescription. Everyone was extremely professional and it was probably the best and most thorough eye examination I’ve ever had.

After going to previous consultations with other clinics and not getting any confidence in their approach. Mark and Andrew where able to reassure me and explain everything to me in a kind and patient manner. This gave me so much confidence to go ahead with the surgery.

The surgery itself was so smooth and so quick, I wish I had done it sooner.

1 month later and I now have perfect vision, which I never thought I would be able to have. I am so grateful to Mark and his team. The results have been life changing.

Highly recommended!

I went to see Mark Wilkins on 3rd February 2020

I went to see Mark Wilkins on 3rd February 2020 where I needed a urgent review. Mark offered me nothing in the way of treatment. I was asking about options but in the end I left with no more options than if I never went to the appointment. I do not feel advice offered was any help to my overall health and in fact had a detrimental effect on it.

Having only 1 working eye

Having only 1 working eye, I was very concerned when it developed a cataract. It was clear that corrective surgery was necessary and the risks of damage to my sight during this process meant I sought the best practitioner I could find. Mark Wilkins and his team were extremely professional and their manner and skill helped ease my trepidation. The procedure was swift and effective resulting in my restored vision. Throughout the process I felt I was in very good hands and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others

Forever grateful!

Mark and his team were really professional and put me at ease from the get-go.

I was very apprehensive, for context, I'd been considering having laser eye correction surgery for 5+ years! The surgery itself, whilst somewhat uncomfortable, was simple and pain-free. It was over pretty quickly too.

The results have been amazing! My prescription was pretty high (-7.5) beforehand so I wore my glasses all day, every day and for longer than I can remember! Old habits die hard, I still, 4 months later, wake up most mornings and instinctively reach out for them on my bedside! But honestly, I'm really grateful to be able to see unaided - everything from swimming through to buying non-prescriptive shades and much, much more, is suddenly an option!

Fabulous Service & Painless Surgery

Having worn glasses and contacts for nearing 17 years I have been considering laser eye surgery for some time. From my initial consultation through to the surgery itself I have been extremely well looked after by both Mark himself and Andrew.
The surgery itself was an experience I wasn't looking forward to, but having now done it - I am overwhelmed with my now perfect vision. I would recommend it to anyone who has ever considered it, and can honestly say its painless, quick and my recovery has been easy. I still cannot believe it, but I cant thank Mark and Andrew enough for everything they have done.

Mark Wilkins team

I was very apprehensive about my cataract surgery. Mark was very reassuring and explained everything. The team from reception through nursing staff, the anaesthetist - everyone in fact, made the short stay at the clinic enjoyable (I can’t believe I am actually saying that!). I have huge fears about any form of surgical intervention and I can honestly say that the experience had no negatives at all. The benefit for me is restoration of near perfect vision to the extent that I do not need corrective lenses for my severe astigmatism. It really has opened up a new life for me and I would strongly recommend Mark Wilkins and the team

I was in the unenviable position of…

I was in the unenviable position of having varifocal lens from a faulty batch inserted in both eyes in March 2015. I noticed a deterioration in my right eye recently and had check ups which is when I learnt about the faulty lens. My concern was that it would not be a straight forward procedure therefore I only wanted the best surgeon for the job. I phoned Moorfields Private Clinic and spoke to Andrew (Mark Wilkins Practice Manager) and he explained everything to me in such a kind and patient way that gave me the confidence to go ahead with the operation with Mark Wilkins. All of Marks team are caring and professional and I would not hesitate to return to Mark if my left eye develops the same problem. I am 1 week on from the operation and my eyesight is perfect. I am very grateful for the excellent result.

Highly recommended!

Having had a strong short sighted prescription from being really young, I had always want to have my vision corrected, but had also always been too apprehensive to go ahead with it. I am so glad that I finally did, and that I had it done with Mr Wilkins and his team at Moorfields, as I really can't fault the care that I received from start to finish, everything was excellent. They were reassuring, caring, and so skilled - I now have perfect vision, which I never thought I would be able have, and I love it. Thank you Mr Wilkins and team! I highly recommend!

Mark and his team were excellent from start to finish. I was suffering from headaches and declining vision in my right eye for around two years. Four months after seeing Mark for an initial consultation, my vision in that eye is now better than it ever has been: I was diagnosed and operated on within a week. Highly recommend!
