Despite initial reservations about having such a delicate procedure my experience was of a very efficient and effective treatment which resulted in an excellent outcome far better than I could have hoped for. Thank you Mr Rehman. I would not hesitate in recommending you.

I am so delighted on the results of my laser eye treatment. After wearing glasses for 20+ years this has been amazing. Amazing support and aftercare.

Mr Shafiq performed the procedure to replace my lenses with bi-focal implants. The whole process was very smooth and I was relaxed throughout. The operation was remarkably unobtrusive and I didn't even have any visible sign of redness in the my eyes the following day. I now have twenty twenty vision and have made a full recovery. I would recommend Mr Shafiq to anyone contemplating this procedure.

My Refractive lens replacement on both eyes the same day has been a massive success, courtesy of Mr Rehman and the Optegra team! A thorough diagnostic was carried out beforehand and a prescription recommended which has taken these 54-year-old eyes to perform almost as they did in my 20's! A very precise and gentle operation was performed on both eyes and the result was no soreness at all and an unbelievable result is now enjoyed every day- The best money I will ever spend in my lifetime!

Very professional experience and felt confident going into both my Cataract eye surgeries. Any questions I had were answered.

Life changing ... I had LASIK eye surgery with Mr Rehman at the Leeds Laser Centre and can honestly say it was the best decision I’ve ever made. My vision is incredible. I no longer need to worry about planning my lenses, the time they’ve been in for or the dryness when you fall asleep in them by accident! The staff at the Leeds clinic were superb, very friendly and informative, from the moment you have your first consultation, right through to the final sign off visit. The surgery was quick and painless. The new vision was instant and the aftercare was very clearly explained. The redness lasted longer than I expected, but it was all gone after a couple of months. I also experienced dryness in the eyes so drops were a regular part of my day for a couple of months. I can honestly say it is definitely worth it. I am in my mid 20s and advise anyone considering it to do it sooner rather than later. You will really feel the benefit and get the most out of the time without frames!

After very thorough tests and eye examinations my one worry was that my eyes would not be suitable for Clarivu, but the vision correction consultant Mr Rehman soon put me to ease and said I was a sutiable candidate. He explained all the different treatments I could have to my son and I, and after we had asked all the questions we wanted answering and on receiving reassuring answers from Mr Rehman, I elected to go ahead with the procedure. On my first appointment which was for my left eye the staff were very reassuring and professional and they and Mr Rehman guided me through the procedure which only took 20 minutes and was completely painless. The results were immediate, everything was so pin sharp, colourful and bright. A week later I had my right eye done and unlike my left eye, my vision was a little fuzzy for a couple of days. I telephoned Optegra and was told that this was not uncommon and it would clear, which was indeed the case. Three months later my eyesight is fantastic, I can read the telephone directory without any help, can thread a needle, and have taken up dressmaking again, these are things I haven't been able to do for years, my husband says Ive got teenage eyes.I would recommend Mr Rehman, his team and all at the Yorkshire Eye Hospital for their care, professionalism and expertise in this procedure, and I would suggest to anyone thinking about having Clarivu that they should go ahead.

I had lens replacement surgery in March 2018 at the Optegra Manchester hospital. My initial consultation with Mr Rehman was very thorough and he explained what outcome I could expect given my slightly unusual prescription. Given the huge difference between my eyes, he recommended doing both eyes in the one procedure. Outcome was fantastic and made me think why I hadn't had it done years ago!! All the Optegra team I met at Manchester were helpful, professional and caring. Mr Rehman is a great surgeon, he doesn't over promise and delivers what he says he will. No pain, no discomfort and a very stress free procedure. More than happy to recommend.

I recently had LASEK Eye Surgery with Optegra and I am very pleased with the outcome and my experience. I attended an open evening where information was provided on many different surgeries. All the attendees were much older than myself so I will say this was very much orientated around lens replacement surgery, rather than one which would suit myself, as I am younger (20). However, once all the questions had been asked I managed to speak to Dr Rehman and ask about a surgery more suitable for myself. In my consultation, the surgery appropriate for me was fully explained and all my questions were answered. In the time between my consultation and the date of my surgery Eileen Haynes was extremely helpful with any queries I had and sorting all paperwork for me. On the day of my surgery, all the staff at the Leeds clinic were super welcoming and friendly. They made me feel very at ease and comfortable. The surgery was very quick, relaxed and Dr Rehman was amazing. The only confusion for myself is I was lead to believe I was allowed someone in the surgery room with me to help put me at ease however this was not the case, I went into the room before surgery, and during surgery alone. This did put me slightly on edge as I was nervous and would of liked my mum to be with me, however I understood the circumstances. After surgery all the nurses were so caring and very kind towards me. All aftercare was explained and that was it! The first week after surgery was very uncomfortable (which was to be expected) and my vision was not great. However this improved over time and now I ca...

I have now had my 'new eyes' for 4 years. What a difference it makes . while all my friends are scrabbling for specs or squinting at menus on our Girls night out I am the only one that can read them with ease - even the tiny print !! What has triggered me to write this review 4 years on you may ask ? Two reasons . I recently developed a capsule on one of my lens. This needed attention which was dealt with literally in minutes . the whole process dealt with by Eileen and Mr Rehman and their efficient professional and friendly manner. I had also been aware at the beginning of the process the was an easily remedied possible side effect . However what it did do was highlight how much I had taken for granted how my much new lens replacements had enhanced my life . No looking for specs every 5 minutes no travelling on holiday with contact lenses and fluids and prescription sun specs etc . An added bonus whilst I initially was very aware it was a significant cost of having clarivue lenses what I have already saved in not purchasing specs and contacts has already paid for half the original cost. For any that like my were quite concerned about the actual procedure I can guarantee that for me it was fast absolutely pain free ( although a strange experience ) and instant results !! my only regret not having them done sooner!
