Exceptional surgeon

Professor Ayliffe took on an extremely complex case, performing cataract surgery and treating significant damage following multiple unsuccessful procedures my mother had previously undergone in Poland. As a result of those surgeries, her quality of life deteriorated severely, with debilitating headaches and daily suffering.

Professor Ayliffe’s expertise, dedication, and compassion made a profound difference to my mother’s health and wellbeing. We are deeply grateful not only for his outstanding surgical skills, but also for the care, professionalism, and reassurance he provided throughout her treatment.

Absolutely excellent experience

I had the pleasure of being treated by Professor William Ayliffe today for a chalazion removal, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. From the moment I met him, Professor Ayliffe’s charming and reassuring manner immediately put me at ease. His professionalism, empathy, and deep medical expertise were evident throughout the entire process.

The procedure itself was carefully and expertly carried out. Professor Ayliffe took the time to clearly explain each step beforehand, which helped alleviate any anxiety I had. His calm, supportive presence throughout was incredibly reassuring. Following the procedure, he provided thorough aftercare advice to ensure a smooth recovery.

Professor Ayliffe exemplifies the highest standards of patient care. His warm demeanor and outstanding clinical skill make him an exceptional consultant. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking ophthalmic treatment.

The Best! Patient of 20 years

I’ve been seeing professor Ayliffe now for 20 years, I have seen countless eye surgeons, ophthalmologists etc. but I’d highly recommend professor Ayliffe.

I’ve been treated for various conditions such as cataract surgery, glaucoma, uveitis, inflammation and sight loss. I now have near perfect vision when my initial prognosis was very poor.

I highly recommend anyone to see professor Ayliffe as soon as you can for any eye condition.

Professor Ayliffe Cataract procedure

I contacted Professor Ayliffe at Shirley Oakes Hospital, on the recommendations of my son for removal of the cataracts in both my eyes.

Prof. Ayliffe saw me promptly and arranged the appropriate tests and the procedure itself within a good time frame for both eyes.

He operated on both my eyes and the procedure was painless. Within a couple of hours I was able to see generally and within a few days I was able to get back to normal. This has improved the quality of Life I cannot believe how clear everything is

I want to thank Professor Ayliffe and commend him and his team for performing such a delicate and crucial procedure with speed, professionalism and great success.

After contacting numerous clinics in…

After contacting numerous clinics in Birmingham, where due to having WMD in one of my eyes, non were willing to consider me for corrective vission surgery.
I contacted a clinic in London where I was lucky enough to meet Prof William Ayliffe.
Professor Ayliffe examined my eyes, explained the risks, gave me the choice and eventually fitted replacement lenses in both my eyes.
I am very pleased with the outcome and am very grateful to Professor Ayliffe for what he has done for me.
Professor Ayliffe is at the top of his game and a really nice guy. It was a privilege to meet him and I couldn't recommend him enough.

Great experience with cataract surgery

I have been seeing professor Ayliffe for a couple of years now. At first about my extremely dry eyes that have permanent scarring and eventually cataracts removal. I was extremely nervous about the procedure but his calm manner and expertise in the field put me at ease. The procedure went very well was painless and I am extremely happy with his work. Not only he got rid of the cataract but also gave me 20/20 vision as a bonus.

Cataracts procedure Feb 2024

I contacted Professor Ayliffe at Spire St Anthony’s Hospital for removal of the cataracts in both my eyes.

I am currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer and had a limited window of opportunity to get this done before my chemotherapy began. If I had left it I would not have been able to drive during my cancer treatment.

Prof. Ayliffe saw me promptly and arranged the appropriate tests and the procedure itself well within the time.

He operated on both my eyes and the procedure was painless. Within a couple of hours I was able to see generally and within days I could see with pinpoint accuracy. I can now drive, draw and paint and read books again.

I want to thank Professor Ayliffe and commend him and his team for performing such a delicate and crucial procedure with speed, professionalism and great success.

A very positive cataract removal experience

I consulted Professor Ayliffe after a less than positive NHS experience, having discovered that the NHS does not supply toric lenses (for astigmatism correction) as they are more expensive. The Professor was kind, encouraging and very helpful, the procedure was seamless and very successful and I recovered amazingly quickly. I would recommend Professor Ayliffe unhesitatingly.

Cataract surgery…

I have recently had cataract surgery performed by Professor William Ayliffe at Shirley Oaks Hospital. At all times he treated me with courtesy, and his calm manner was most reassuring. He is without doubt highly knowledgeable, experienced and skilled in addition to being systematic and organised. I have no hesitation in recommending Professor Ayliffe to anyone needing advice or treatment for eye problems.

Thank you to Professor William Ayliffe

Professor William Ayliffe carried out my cataract operation both left and right eye at the same time
Before I had the op I needed glasses all the time, generally and working life.
After the op I only need glasses for computer work and to read small lettering, my long distance sight is fantastic now.
I cannot believe the enormous difference this has made to my life, it has literally opened my eyes to the world, Thank you so much.
From the moment I attended the initial appointment with professor Ayliffe through to the operation and then the follow up appointments I was treated with such care attention and so professionally. I was kept updated and fully informed throughout the process.
I cannot thank everyone enough especially Professor William Ayliffe
