"A fantastic experience"

From the first consultation assessment for cataract operations on both eyes to last post op check up. The whole experience was fantastic, all staff whether they were doctors, nurses and admin stasis was polite, respectful and pleasant. I whole heartedly recommend Exeter Eye to anyone who needs cataract surgery. A special “thank you” to Peter Simcock who did my eye surgery.

"Cataract operations"

Even though I had reached the stage of not being able to drive safely at dusk or once the street lights came on, I was reluctant to have cataract operations. Partly, I have to admit, because the idea of someone poking around in my eye with a sharp knife was not appealing. Fortunately, I already knew Mr Michael Smith who was my glaucoma consultant and in whom I had great trust. Following a thorough eye examination at Exeter Eye, Mr Smith answered all my questions and reservations clearly and in detail. This persuaded me that now was the time to have the operation and this was the man to do it. This proved to be a good decision. Not only because the result was far better than I had expected but also because I was able to relax throughout the whole procedure confident that I was in good hands. I was also impressed by the post-op procedures at Exeter Eye. Detailed eye tests and clear descriptions of the results and what I should (and should not) do next. Would I recommend Mr Smith to anyone who was contemplating having a cataract operation? For me, it’s all about patient-consultant trust. If you have it, as I did, then it takes away the stress associated during and immediately prior to the operation. I would certainly recommend making an appointment with Mr Smith.

"I had cataract replacement lens surgery…"

I had cataract replacement lens surgery for both eyes in March/April 2022 with Mr Quinn and his great team. The difference in vision was incredibly good, the treatment was excellent, and I was made to feel very comfortable and reassured with the whole process. Post-surgery there was very little discomfort - just 'gritty' eye for a few hours. It was certainly an easier experience than vesting the dentist!

"Excellent Service - a great experience"

I would like to express my thanks to the team at Exeter Eye Surgeons. Mr Quinn explained the procedure and associated risks - this allowed me to make an informed decision without any pressure. On the day of surgery there was no rush and everyone took their time to explain the process. I now have 20/20 vision without glasses - it has changed my life after 52 years of wearing glasses.

"What can I say about Spa Medica Exeter"

What can I say about Spa Medica Exeter. The whole process from referral to pre op, to actual cataract surgery was a very good experience. I am a nervous patient and deaf to boot and everyone took time to reassure me and help me understand the process. The staff are lovely, the surgeon excellent (handsome too), so you have huge thanks from me to you all.

"Cataract removal and lens replacement with sedation"

Several years ago I had my left eye cataract removed and a replacement lens fitted at a local public hospital - I had to have a general anesthetic because I suffer from severe anxiety and claustrophobia. Whilst it was successful there is always a risk with a general anesthetic at my age (70) - I recently needed my other eye to have the same procedure and searching the internet I found Mr Quinn who comes highly recommended. Mr Quinn and his team assured me that I could have the same operation with only sedation and assured me I would be OK. - I have since had that operation and I can confirm that Mr Quinn and his team were superb - In my opinion I could not have been treated better - I received the best of treatment and all of the staff treated me fantastically well and yes with just sedation I remained calm and the operation was a great success as I was reassured at all points of the procedure and I can 100% say that I highly recommend Mr Quinn and his team - thank you.

"Amazing results and service"

I am so pleased with my eye sight after having lens surgery on both eyes two weeks apart. I was nervous and decided to have sedation on the first eye but as it was pain free that I didn’t bother to have the sedation with the second eye. Mr Quinn and his team were amazing and walked me through every part of the process step by step. After the op there was no pain and within 24 hours my vision was better than ever. Wish I had done this years ago. Now I am glasses free!!
Worth every penny. Thank you

"Cataract surgery"

Have recently had Toric lenses put in both eyes due to cataracts. I was very nervous about the operations after a shaky NHS appointment. Dr Quinn spent the time to take me through every question I had and all possible outcomes, easing my concerns. Both operations were very successful, and having lost 80% of my vision at 26, I can say with utter confidence, Dr Quinn has changed my life! My vision is incredible! All of the staff at Exeter eye were caring and professional! When it comes to your vision, don't take it for granted, and chose the right team, which is Exeter Eye!

"Thanks for your fantastic service!"

I thought that I would just drop you a line to report on the Strabismus operation that I had done on my eye, by Mr Quinn, on 20th March 2020. Five weeks have now gone by, and I have to say that the operation has transformed my life for the better.

I can now see perfectly well to be able to drive during the day, and also in the dark, without any of the problems that I had before. Even watching TV has been made better, as everything is now in proper focus, and my eyes don't ache like they used to. Clearly the re-alignment of the one eye has made all the difference, and I now wish that I had had it done years ago. However, it is one of those things that you do not realise is a problem as you are going on in life, and just take it that your eyesight is deteriorating due to age. As a bonus, I have not even had to get new spectacles, which is good.
The service offered by Exeter Eye was exemplary all the way through, and I would have no hesitation in using them again, if the need arose.

"Cataract removal and lens replacement"

I have had both cataracts removed by Mr Anthony Quinn and replaced with toric lenses which means that as well as being able to see very clearly, my problem with astigmatism has now been resolved. My first eye was replaced with a lens for distances and the second was a lens for closer vision. I can now dispense with glasses for most of the time and only require them for close work in poor light. An excellent result.
Both operations went very smoothly and I would recommend both Mr Quinn and Exeter Eye.
