A Quality Experience and Procedure

Had a procedure on 23rd October to close retinal hole and replace lens on left eye.
Mr Lash and the staff at Optegra are fantastic with exceptional service and skills. For anyone nervous about this type of procedure -don't be. I am so glad I had this done as my quality of vision has improved already and will continue to do so over forthcoming weeks.
Thanks again to Mr Lash and the staff

Professional & caring

Stephen carried out vitroretinal and cataract surgery on my left eye recently. He explained everything clearly and concisely and really put me at my ease. He and his team carried out the operation in a very caring & professional manner - he even rang me the day after to check everything was OK. I can't recommend him enough.

An excellent surgeon

Stephen is an excellent surgeon with excellent people skills too. He operated on my right eye for a macular hole 6 years ago and has just recently operated on my left eye for a pseudo macular hole. both results have been amazing. I have just been 'signed off' and can only praise Stephen and his team for jobs well done. Thank you all.

Mr Lash operated on both my eyes

Mr Lash operated on both my eyes, first in October 2018 and then the other eye in May 2019. I was petrified! to say the least, but everyone was lovely. Sedation was great and you can't feel or see anything, just hear them talking and the nurse will hold your hand.
First operation the eye was sore and bruised, but sight came back perfectly really quickly and the pain relief drops worked a treat. Second operation, eye didn't clear for about a 6 weeks.
Both eyes see perfectly again with no major issues, occasionally dry eyes in the morning, but so glad to see now, thank you!

Thank you very much for taking the time to review so long after the event!! I am very pleased you have done well. Retinal surgery takes a year or so to really settle to get the best vision. It sounds like you have arrived! Enjoy your sight

Mr Lash and his team made me feel like I was part of team, kept me fully informed throughout my time with them and eased all my concerns with their personal care and good humour.

I was not overly concerned about the onset of covic19 because the hygiene routine at the hospital was superior to any I'd ever seen.
Since the crisis, I have received the same personal attention from Mr Lash and hospital team as my recovery progressed very well..

Eye Surgery

Stephen Lash and his team explained the procedure i needed in thorough detail and when I had op I was looked after extremely well.
Because of the coronavirus outbreak I was unable to go for post op apptmt and I had someone ring me to find out how my eye was A couple of days later Mr Lash telephoned me also to check I was ok. I felt reassured after both these phone calls.

Thanks for the review and I agree the team are great at Optegra. Its really difficult not seeing patients after surgery as I am keen to see the results! I went into ophthalmology partly because we have clear measures of 'before' and 'after' including pictures! It sounds like you are doing very well please keep me posted of your eventual outcome!

About 3 years ago MR Lash performed me vitrectomy both eyes, which was my only salvation.
There was a huge fear of necessary steps... Finally the day came... I remember that fear was monstrous... I would not be afraid of having surgery another part of the body but it was eye... However, lying on the table I felt that I'm really in good hands, fear was over. You are a great specialist. I am and I will always be grateful to you for "new eyes".
Thank you, Mr. Lash. The world needs people like you...
I wish you a lot of health and strength so that you can still do your work!
Many thanks,

Operation for Macula hole

I had to have an operation for a Macula hole. This was arranged for the week after the initial consultation, as time is of the essence. Mr Lash explained everything that was to happen and what I could expect, very clearly. On the day of the operation I was extremely anxious, but Mr Lash and all the staff were very kind and understanding. Mr Lash talked me through everything and answered all my questions (again!). I can honestly say it was completely pain free. My aftercare was thoroughly documented and explained and the process was exactly as detailed. I have had an excellent result, indeed my optician told me she has never seen such good recovery for this operation. Throughout the whole procedure, I was treated with respect and kindness and felt complete confidence in Mr Lash. He is friendly and approachable and clearly brilliant at what he does. I would absolutely recommend him.

Eye care at its best.

I have been really impressed with the way I have been treated during every aspect of my care with Mr Lash and his team.
He listened and provided sound advice as to what could be achieved and then delivered on everything that we had agreed.
A true professional in his field of expertise and someone who I would thoroughly recommend.

Thanks for the postitive feedback. Subsequently thanks for letting me know who you were!! You had that unusual outcome where you can see both distance and near with a single vision lens! Just shows imperfection (astigmatism) does not always hold us back.

Words cannot express my huge appreciation to Stephen Lash.

I have wet macular degeneration in both eyes. For the last 6 years, Mr. Lash has maintained and improved my vision with regular injections, cataract surgery and laser treatments, so that I am still legally able to drive. He, and his team at Optegra, Whiteley, especially Tanya, are fantastic.

Stephen Lash has given me the most precious gift of sight, for which I will be eternally grateful. The exceptionally expert and caring treatment has never faltered in the 6 years I have been attending.

Thank you so much.

Private Patient/Out Patient

I would like to thank Mr Lash and his team for the care and attention received after having bilateral cataract surgery at Southampton Eye Unit. Everything was explained in detail priory and during the procedure, which was painless, and Mr Lash even gives you a wake up call the next morning to see how you are doing!
I am delighted with the outcome, my world is certainly a "brighter place" now, thank you.

I had surgery at Southampton Eye Hospital, to correct a dislocated lens. Mr Lash removed the vitreous gel and the old lens; then, under his supervision, a colleague fastened the new lens in place. Stephen Lash and the whole team were excellent and inspired confidence throughout.

Yes Stephen you were very calm, I only heard your voice rise a notch once! I didn't mention Harry T as this isn't his site and I'm sorry I didn't put my name, there didn't seem to be a slot?

Many thanks. Roy Martin

Wow! My first review as an NHS consultant! It was our pleasure. This is a fantastic technique and I was training the fellow. Hopefully I sounded calm and in control and you felt in safe hands (His hands were Harry T !) He did very well and I expect you to also do well. See you in the NHS clinic (eventually)

Private patient review

Eye surgery performed by Mr Lash was excellent and successful which I am extremely grateful for!
Private patient- Outpatient experience was in NHS environment and apart from having a consultation with Mr Lash, the experience was very much NHS!
But no complaints with the outcome!

Very grateful to Stephen and his team for saving my sight which previously I had always taken for granted. I had vitrectomy and cataract operations in both eyes over a period of six months, absolute confidence in Stephen from the beginning and the care was excellent.
