Excellent Surgeon

Dr Tint was recommended to me by two friends - one was a former patient and the other was a health care professional who has worked in eye care for over 20 years.

His initial consultation was extremely thorough with clear explanations of cataract surgery and the likely risks and outcomes. He took me through the various lens choices and pointed out the pros and cons of each. I found his approach very professional, with realistic expectations of what I could expect if I proceeded with the surgery.

The surgeries were completed a fortnight apart and both went extremely smoothly. He has a calm demeanour during surgery and spoke me through what was happening during the procedures. I found this very reassuring.

After each surgery he was in regular contact to check progress and to make sure that I was happy with my aftercare.

Since having the surgery I no longer need to wear the glasses that I was heavily reliant on, so I am delighted to be typing this review without the need for my varifocals!

I would thoroughly recommend Dr Tint to any family or friends needing similar surgery as he communicates well, sets realistic expectations and has excellent surgical skills.

Exceptional Care and Expertise

I recently underwent cataract surgery on my left eye performed by Dr. Tint, and I am compelled to share my exceptional experience. From start to finish, Dr. Tint displayed remarkable professionalism, skill, and compassion, making what could have been a daunting procedure a smooth and successful one.

Despite encountering a complication after the surgery, Dr. Tint's expertise shone through as he swiftly and adeptly addressed the issue, ensuring the best possible outcome. His calm demeanor and clear communication throughout the process helped alleviate any concerns I had, instilling confidence in his abilities.

Not only did Dr. Tint excel in the technical aspects of the surgery, but his genuine care for his patients was evident at every step. He took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain the procedure and potential risks, and answer any questions I had, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.

Thanks to Dr. Tint's exceptional care and expertise, my left eye has regained clarity and vision beyond my expectations. I am eagerly looking forward to entrusting him with the surgery for my other eye next year, knowing I will be in the best hands possible.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tint to anyone in need of cataract surgery or any eye-related procedures. His skill, professionalism, and compassionate approach truly set him apart, making him an invaluable asset to the field of ophthalmology. Thank you, Dr. Tint, for your outstanding care and dedication to your patients' well-being.

Cataract Operations

My nervousness at the approach of two cataract operations was put at ease each time from the moment I approached reception. Theatre was a particularly friendly place of chatter and talk. Dr Tint’s call to get started was immediately followed by the team’s individual responses to his commentary. The results of both operations have been completely satisfactory and helpful.
The analogy of the tap of a conductors’s baton followed by satisfying performance is very apt.

Recommendation of Dr Tint.

I am very happy to recommend Dr Tint as an ophthalmic surgeon. I had both lenses replaced and found the experience,to be quite simple. Although worrying to begin with, I was put very much at ease, by Dr Tint and the staff at the Edinburgh clinic. I certainly would be happy to recommend the service to anyone.

Thank you Dr Tint

I found Dr Tint and all the staff at Edinburgh Clinic very kind and helpful. He explained everything in a language I understood and allayed any fears or concerns I may have had for the forthcoming procedure.
He was quick to contact me after reassuring me and providing me with a contact should I have any problems.
I would and have recommended Dr Tint And Edinburgh Clinic to others who have shown interest in the same procedure.

RL/CATARACT SURGERY - EXTREME MYOPIA

I cannot praise highly enough Dr Tint. Due to my extreme myopia I was not the simplest of cases but at all times felt in very safe hands.Results were excellent which is due to Dr Tint's expertise and care and over a year on have experienced no problems whatsoever. No more bottle top glasses for me!! In fact I think the highest recommendation for Dr Tint I could give is that when my daughter required same procedure this year I told her there was only one man for the job. She too is highly delighted with the result.

I am happy to recommend Dr Tint

I am happy to recommend Dr Tint and his colleagues at the Edinburgh Eye Clinic to anyone considering lens replacement surgery. He puts his patient's needs and preferences at the centre of his clinical judgement and is clearly a highly skilled surgeon. I have recently had lens replacement in both my eyes. The end result has exceeded my expectations. By listening carefully to my clinical and personal circumstances, he gave me great advice. As a consequence I not only achieved my primary objective which was to have cataract free vision, but also am now spectacle free.

Dr Tint has transformed my vision so I can now see long & short distance unaided. Not been able to do this for more than 35 years so was a significant milestone for me. All the way through my care he was thorough and patient in answering various questions and ensuring my surgery went without a hitch. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Cataract & Lens Replacement Surgery

I feel almost fortunate to have been diagnosed with cataracts at the relatively young age of 47. As a result i was referred to Dr Tint. From the initial consultation, through surgery and then post-surgery check-ups I have felt in safe hands. Dr Tint is professional, thorough, and reassuring making sure I knew the full picture before making any decisions. Surgery was straight-forward and life-changing! I now have almost perfect vision for distance and reading and no longer require contact-lenses or glasses. Having been a -12 prescription for all my life this is nothing short of a miracle!! I can't recommend Dr Tint highly enough.

Thank you

Lens Replacement Surgery

I had lens replacement surgery on both of my eyes recently. All I can say is from the initial appointment to check my eyesight to see if replacement surgery was viable, to the last appointment making sure everything was ok, Dr. Tint was very professional. Dr.Tint stated from the outset that if the surgery wasn’t for me he would tell me. I was very reassured by this. All in all, I would definitely recommend Dr.Tint for his knowledge and patient care.

lens replacement

I recently had lens replacement surgery carried out by Doctor Tint and his team. The result is absolutely amazing. I now have near perfect vision without the need for spectacles and/or contact lenses which I have depended on for some sixty years. From the outset at the Edinburgh Clinic - initial nerves and apprehension aside - I felt comfortable and reassured that I was in the best possible hands. I would say in conclusion to anyone considering this procedure - Doctor Tint is the best.

Dr Tint

I had excellent treatment from Dr Tint and his team who performed two cataract operations and subsequent laser treatment. My eyesight has dramatically improved and I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Tint.

I was very apprehensive when I first went to see Doctor Tint about the cataracts in my eyes but he was so relaxed and helpful that he put me at ease right away. The surgery went ahead within a few weeks with no problems and I was amazed at how well I could see within a few days. Doctor Tint is a very talented man who takes the time to explain things and to help his patients relax. I have no hesitation in recommending Doctor Tint to anyone.

I was refered to Dr Tint for a pyteregyium Surgery in july 2018. I must admit my first interaction with him even before the procedure gave me alot of confidences in him as a professionals. He knew what he was talking about and he made it sound easy and it took my fear for the surgery away.
On the day of surgery both Dr. Tint and his team were not only professional about their job but had an amazing human relation such that i didnt feel i was actually undergoing a procedure.
The Surgry was very successful and neatly done.
Post surgery care was super even though i had to travel back home to Ghana to heal, Dr Tint constantly checked on me and was in contact with my GP in Ghana to ensure proper care was given duing the healing process.
It has been a year now after the surgery and there hasnt been any complication whatsoever.
Dr.Tint is not just professionally excellent but he has a big heart that cares for his patients.
