Life-changing! Better than 20/20 vision and incredible staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to say a massive thank you to Optegra (Sheffield) for how amazing they were from start to finish with my laser eye surgery (SMILE). From the initial consultation right through to the aftercare, the entire journey has been nothing short of incredible.

A special shoutout to Caroline on reception, who couldn't have been more helpful and kindly guided me through the payment process, and to Patrick, the optician, who is incredibly knowledgeable! Honestly, all the staff couldn't do enough to help!

The care on the actual day of the surgery (at the Bradford clinic) was exceptional. They completely put me at ease and explained everything so clearly. The video from the surgeon was a fantastic touch- it really reassured me and made sure I knew exactly what to expect.

The results speak for themselves. I had a prescription of -5.75, and now my eyesight is actually better than 20/20! I am completely glasses-free and couldn't be happier.

I wouldn't think twice about recommending Optegra, especially the wonderful team at Sheffield (and Bradford). Just to be clear, this is not a paid or bribed ad - just a very happy customer who can vouch for them first-hand!

The doctors and nurses are lovely and engaging, however they are let down by the reception team who were unfriendly and uncommunicative. My first appointment was about 45 minutes late and this was communicated to me. Very poor client journey experience on this visit as well as subsequent visits.

Feeling at ease with the wonderful staff. They talked you through every step of the procedure. Big bonus was I did not have to use continual drops after the op, one injection and that covered all the drops.

Poor telephone service for NHS patients

I hung on for 20 minutes at 1.30 pm waiting to speak to someone to change my appointment date. I was then cut off. However, the following morning at 8.20 I got through immediately.

Excellent care and expertise

I had bilateral cataract surgery in Didsbury and every from start to finish was excellent. My surgeon, Jack Gormley, explained each step of the procedure, and he and his team made the whole procedure stress and pain free. The aftercare has been excellent and I am delighted with the results. I would have no hesitation in recommending Optegra.

I was very nervous about this operation. Optegra were well organised, friendly staff and I had confidence in the surgeons. It has been a good experience overall.

I marked it 4 because it so difficult to get through to them on the phone, you usually hold for 30 minutes upwards.
