Paul Ursell is brilliant
Paul Ursell has honestly given me my quality of life back. I was a very nervous patient and put off doing anything about my declining eyesight. I so wished I hadn’t wasted so much time prevaricating. He makes you feel at ease and is the ultimate professional. Everything went very well and to say I am thankful is an understatement.

Great care and little down time.
Highly recommended.

The nerves disappeared!
I was very nervous about having the first operation. Mr Ursell was calm and reassuring and the procedure was quick and painless. I can't recommend him more highly.

A painless stress free experience
Paul Ursell was extremely reassuring and gave me detailed notes as to what to expect in advance, the whole experience was stress free, fast and painless and everyone made me feel very comfortable. Both eyes have been a big success.
I am very pleased with the outcome
I am very pleased with the outcome. I am glasses free!
My sight has always been very weak since 18. Obviously, with the cataract it deteriorated further.
I consulted with Paul Ursell and chose a multi focal lens, for both eyes.
I was a very nervous patient, but Mr Ursell is clearly at the top of his profession and gives one confidence in dealing with eye surgery.
The surgery was at Parkside Hospital. The hospital is very modern and the staff very friendly and professional. No two eyes are the same, but I can confidently recommend both Mr Ursell and Parkside.
Thank you.
A happy outcome
At the end of last month, Mr Ursell carried out a cataract operation on my right eye. I was somewhat nervous having had the same operation done over 20 years ago on my other eye. I need not have worried though, as Mr Ursell was very reassuring both in the pre-operation meeting and during the operation itself.
The operation was hardly more stressful than a visit to the dentist and was very successful. I would recommend anyone to consult the cataract doctor.

Fabulous outcome!
Mr Ursell was extremely professional, friendly and reassuring. The whole process was clearly explained, so I knew exactly what to expect. The actual operation was very quick. I now have fabulous distance vision, something I have not had for 40 years! I cannot recommend Mr Ursell highly enough

I had nothing but the best treatment and care at Parkside with Paul Ursell
My cataract procedure went so smoothly without any complications
No doubt I’ll need the other lens replaced in due course and will definitely use Mr Ursell again.

Eye Surgery
I elected to have both eyes operated on by Paul Ursell after witnessing firsthand successful results of a friend and family member, and learning from others how easy, pain-free and quick the recovery was following procedure. Having had to change glasses constantly for my daily work I sought a solution from Mr Ursell, (having researched his track record) and was delighted at his professionalism and that of his team. Having new lens in my eyes has transformed my life and I can see both long and short distance without any issue. I now have 20/20 vision, am glasses free - it has been liberating and I am delighted by the results.

Made this as simple and stress free as possible - thank you!
My experience Feb -March 2022
I had operations on both eyes and was very happy with all aspects of the procedures and would recommend Mr Ursell unreservedly. I was made fully aware of all aspects of the treatment both prior to and during the treatment. I am very pleased with the results.
Cataract surgery, both eyes
Options and risks were explained at initial consultation; after mulling over for a couple of days I decided to proceed with both eyes on basis of no longer requiring glasses for long distance. Procedure was quick, no pain afterwards, good chats with other patients and gained the anticipated outcome within 2 days; by obtaining some cheap reading glasses was back at computer screen for work within 48 hours. Check up 10 days after 1st eye procedure was all positive so proceeded with 2 eye and that had an equally good outcome
Cataract Removed from a coward.
Was concerned about the procedure as a natural coward but from the outset Paul set me at ease explaining the various options i had and how it would be done. The cataract removal was no problem for me and while undergoing the op Paul spoke to me informing me what he was doing and we discussed other topics which took my mind off what was going on.Would highly recommend Paul and now encourage
anyone who is nervous like i was to get it done if required. Thanks again Paul.
If you want to improve your eyesight, see Paul Ursell!
I am thrilled with the results of the distance toric lens Paul Ursell fitted in January. At the first consultation, Paul explained the options very clearly, he was very supportive and I felt confident with the agreed procedure. I am delighted with the result and am seeing better than I have in years. It is so wonderful to be free of contact lenses and glasses. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul and his team, especially is secretary Karen who always responded so swiftly to my emails.

Superb patient care and a great outcome.
Mr Ursell is really good at explaining the options and pros and cons of cataract surgery.
The operation is quick and easy, frankly far less of a bother than having a tooth filled.
After a lifetime of poor eyesight compounded by cataracts I now have pretty well perfect eyesight.
Restored eyesight
Mr Ursell was friendly, caring and professional. He explained the pros and cons of cataract surgery during the consultation and what to expect post surgery. He completely put me at ease during the operation, which was pain free and checked that I was ok afterwards. Having both cataracts removed, my eyesight is now far better than it ever was. I just need to wear glasses for reading. Fabulous result.
Great experience
Great experience! Paul Ursell is not just an excellent surgeon but also an excellent communicator, such an important skill, so often lacking. His secretary Karen is also very helpful. My vision is now amazing and I won’t hesitate to recommend him to everyone.
sight restored
This was a wonderful experience.
easier than the dentist. I can now drive and read again.
