Six months on from my LASIK eye surgery and I am very happy with the results, having achieved better than 20/20 vision. I was around -5.00 in both eyes for around two years and after the surgery, my prescription is now +0.50 in both eyes (this was delibarate to provide me with a buffer in case there is any further regression in my eyesight as I am 27).

The entire team was extremely welcoming and highly competent in their roles. In my first eye test with Focus, Minita caught that I was getting confused with my answers to the "which lens is clearer?" test and we reset the test accordingly. Her attention to detail and ability to notice (when I was waffling and) when my answers did not line up with what she would expect demonstrated to me how careful the team is in getting it right.

Thank you very much to Dr Allamby and his team for making the day of surgery such a smooth experience. I did opt to take the pill that makes you a little more relaxed. I was given two stress balls and to be honest I didn't feel anything. Dr Allamby explained the whole process so I always knew exactly what was happening. I was in and out within 15 minutes and experienced zero side effects (other than a halo effect around objects for about a day or so and I was told this is normal - even if it lasted longer!) The lack of side effects and smooth surgery is attributable to the state of the art equipment available at Focus combined with Dr Allamby and his team's wealth of experience which is why I chose Focus over others. Even my regular optometrist asked me for the name of the clinic, flagged he would not change a thing about my new vision and commented that Focus did a really good job.

Without doubt, the cost of LASIK eye surgery at Focus is higher than in other clinics, but I made a conscious decision to go to the best no matter what the price and I suggest that others do the same if they have the means. It is your eyes after all!

To those with dry eyes, following the surgery, I can confirm that in my experience my existing dry eyes was not exacarbated or made worse by the surgery. In line with Focus' excellent client care, Dr Allamby explained to me that I had meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), cleared 2-3 blocked glands on my eyelid which provided instant relief, and recommended home treatments to get it under control before the day of surgery. I got a sense that he really cared about the health of his patients.

My newfound vision means the world to me and I'm so glad to be part of the headline statistic at Focus, namely: 100% success rate for 20/20 vision.

If you are on the fence, I recommend you go in for a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate! It has honestly been a life changing gift. My friends are absolutely shocked at the new me - no longer a blind bat!

Excellent customer care and truly amazing results post surgery! Focus provided the best care during each stage! Thank you Focus Clinics!

What an amazing experience!
From my initial enquiry through to my after care everything has been perfect.
The whole team at Focus Clinics have been so friendly, welcoming and reassuring.
I knew following my first appointment and checks that I had found the right clinic to have my surgery. I then met Dr. Allamby and felt so comfortable and safe to proceed with my treatment. On the day of the surgery I felt relaxed about the procedure because I was so informed about what was going to happen. The videos on the website and social media certainly helped with that.
I then had my surgery which was so quick and painless and couldn't believe that I could see immediately. Thanks you so much to everyone at the clinic, you are all wonderful!

I had the best experience from start to finish for my LASIK journey. David and the team were amazing, very professional and made me feel at ease at all times (even during the surgery!)
The recovery process has been super speedy, no issues at all and it’s not even been a week yet. My vision is already perfect.
Would 100% recommend!

It’s 1 day post-op and I am so blown away by how immediate the results are. I could see the evening of my treatment and now already have better than 20/20 vision from my -4.25/-3.25 prescription with a slight astigmatism in 1 eye. Just some dryness which is to be expected. Wild!! I felt very cared for along the way in all my pre-op appointments and Focus Clinic is flexible with changing appointments if needed and provide so much information to answer any questions. Dr. Allamby is incredible. The treatment itself, albeit very strange and a little uncomfortable, is not painful and only takes a few minutes per eye. Truly life-changing! Thank you!

I had a great experience with Focus Clinic. Wanted to get my surgery done as soon as possible and it was such an easy process. Now my vision is better than 20/20 and I can't thank them enough. Very professional, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Great service and after care. I was nervous at first but the staffs support and professionalism really helped to guide me through the process.

Had my laser surgery September 2023, everything went smoothly and I’m very happy with the result.
There was a couple of follow ups to make sure everything was ok. The patient care was top notch, all the staff were so friendly.
Has been life changing not having to wear contact lenses and glasses.

Months later eyes feel great! Everyone was so nice and accommodating at the clinic.

From start to finish the service from Focus Clinics was impeccable. Every staff member I have met has a smile on their face as well as a heavy kindness. Now having perfect vision after Mr Allamby operated felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity. The procedure was extremely quick, pain free and the next day I could read every letter when tested by the optician. I can’t believe that I can see without the need for contacts or glasses!!! Thank you so much for the results as well as having a service like no other place!

I can't give Focus Clinic enough credit for how valued I've felt, it's been six months now since my treatment and after numerous checkups, my vision is still sitting strong at 20/12. Investing in my vision is one of the best things I've ever done and I cannot recommend it enough, I couldn't have predicted such an improvement to my life.

I am 24 hours post lasik surgery and have 20/12 vision, which is 2 better than 20/20 so a fantastic outcome. Only in minor discomfort now, and not particularly light sensitive.

I have given three stars because I felt that the treatment day itself was poorly run and felt shambolic, which is not comforting when you are anxious before a surgery. I arrived early, and there were many delays - the team did not communicate any of them with me, I kept having to ask. For some reason the surgeon took the patient booked in after me in before me for consultation and then surgery. He told me to take the diazepam and that we would go into surgery 10-15 minutes later, instead it was 1 hour 15 minutes in which time my anxiety grew a lot. Right before I went into surgery the other patient came out and started talking about the surgery in detail to his family which was very scary especially after the delays - I was in the clinic for 1.5 hours longer than usual, whilst having a very simple prescription treated. I had to keep asking, and the receptionist was unhelpful giving me false information that it was due to taking the tablet which contradicted what the consultant said. For private healthcare I expect to be kept updated as a minimum.

The next day, they decided my medication needed to be changed, we waited 40 minutes with no update and again I went to the front desk and it was sitting there ready the whole time - they kept us waiting for no reason.

The waiting room chairs are pretty uncomfortable and the whole thing could do with a make over, the refreshments were largely empty on some days, full on other days.

My husband has had lasik done elsewhere for much less money and said it was a far smoother experience - he was quite shocked when he accompanied me.

I’m so pleased my surgery went well and my vision is great, but to spend so much and be kept waiting and waiting without a genuine need is frustrating, I booked with the clinic because of all the positive reviews so am really surprised to be writing one that isn’t 5*, but honestly from my experience I might recommend going elsewhere.

I have had a great experience receiving laser eye corrective surgery at Focus clinic. The team were extremely thorough and professional throughout the entire process, leading up to surgery, during and the aftercare has also been fantastic. The surgery itself went without any problems and I am absolutely thrilled with the result, completely painless and the recovery has been very fast.

Amazing experience, all the staff is great, very helpful and careful. Dr. Allamby is great and make you feel comfortable at every stage of the process. I wish I did it earlier.

Just had LASIK surgery with Focus Clinic and I had an outstanding experience from beginning to end. The entire team are very professional, friendly and always available. DR Allamby is a superstar, extremely competent, reassuring and kind. I cannot recommend Focus enough.

Focus really are as good as the reviews suggest! After a lot of research, I found the risks of wearing contacts too great in comparison to the risks of laser eye surgery. Especially with the highly skilled surgeons and the comprehensive pre-surgery testing that Focus have. Further, the testing is free (you get your money back if you decide not to go ahead). Have heard a lot of places wrongly tell patients whether they are suitable or not, so get it done properly with Focus! They gave my mum and I a lot of time in the first consultation to ask every question we had and further, when we met Dr Allamby, he was also very generous with his time. He personalised my surgery to account for further change in my prescription (as I am mid twenties) and put me on a course of antibiotics to combat my newly diagnosed MGD (leads to dry eye). Not sure you would be given such personal treatment elsewhere. When it came to surgery day you got the feeling that the team love what they do and this really helped me to relax. I was even filmed for TikTok! Not sure if that happens to everyone! Was amazing to look back on and show my family! My mum was quite nervous and hesitant about me having it done so it was really lovely that Dr Allamby spoke with her after the surgery to explain that it all went well. Further, he even made sure we had a lift home before setting off on his bicycle! The whole team were so kind. I'm so glad I didn't go anywhere cheaper. You've only got one set of eyes, get it done properly! A week later and its almost like it never happened. And I have better vision than I did in contacts / glasses. Lifetime aftercare (eye drops etc.). 10 year free re-treatment guarantee. Financing options too which make it affordable. Thank you so much to everyone as Focus, I cannot recommend them enough

It was very wonderful surgery . The medical staff was very professional and patient with me . I was worried at the begin but went everyting okay .Thank you for everything.

I was really nervous to have LASIK surgery but after a lot of research and phone calls with Focus’s friendly team I knew it was the right place for me. Couldn’t ask for anything better, I am so grateful to Dr Allamby and the Focus team, well worth travelling for!

Everyone had Focus clinic was so kind and patient with me. Getting your eyes done is stressful but I never felt rushed or made to feel like I was asking silly questions. The initial consultation was extremely thorough and detailed, probably the most thorough eye test I’ve ever had in my life!

I’ve worn glasses for 28 years and my prescription was very high, but Dr Allamby and the team were all very transparent with me about the procedure, how much I would benefit from it considering my prescription and what to expect.

It’s been one month since my LASIK and I’ve never looked back. The follow-up care appointments have been really useful and the team are routinely checking my eyes to make sure nothing has gone awry. It’s nice to know that the team still care about their patients even are the procedure has been done and you’re not left to your own devices!

The team were attentive and supportive
