Vision Care Clinic Reviews 78

Mr Darcy was fantastic. He was thorough and professional and helped me immensely with my eye problems.

I highly recommend the Visioncareclinic

Friendliness and caring of the staff, from the initial diagnosis to the treatment. Although I was nervous and apprehensive it was actually a very good experience.
I would like to thank Keiron Darcey for the wonderful result which means I can see better than I have for Forty years. - Elaine Williams

Kieren Darcy at Visioncare has recently treated me for bilateral cataracts. After 50 years I have now all but dispensed with contact lenses and glasses. From my first consultation Kieren has clearly presented me with all options and guided me, with the benefit of his extensive experience and knowledge, to the best outcome I could have had. He has exceeded my expectations. His surgical competence is excellent but he also has a caring and conscientious rapport with his patients. I have had total confidence in him throughout. His support team including Cheryl, Linda and Caroline have always been efficient,helpful and friendly. I thank you all. I would not hesitate to recommend Kieren Darcy to anyone contemplating eye surgery. I know of one person who has already followed my recommendation and after surgery would totally agree with all I have written.

Everyone I met throughout my treatment was incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. The surgery has changed my life worth every penny

Fantastic service, really through, clear analytics and diagnostics. Friendly interaction and prompt action.
Couldn’t be more pleased.
Thank you

Mr Liyanage is a fantastic Eye Consultant who is not only extremely thorough in his eye examinations, but he is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. In addition to this, he has the most wonderful manner and was excellent when dealing with both myself and my daughter. I would highly recommend him and also vision care. Mr Liyange is lovely and so are his team. In particular Cheryl and Caroline, who were incredibly kind and efficient with the appointment arrangements.

I had laser eye surgery for myopia in July 2022 with the Vision Care Clinic and I couldn’t be happier. From start to end, Dr Kieren Darcy and his team have been very supportive, professional and friendly. The whole process was very professional and thorough and the outcome is outstanding.
An initial phone consultation and then in person consultation proved I was a good candidate. Dr Darcy presented the facts and suggested a surgery that would suit my needs. At no point did I feel pushed or persuaded to go ahead which I hear can be the case at other clinics. My follow up questions was promptly answered and I could easily arrange a phone call to talk to Kieren about a worries I had.
The actual surgery was very smooth and easy and chatting to the staff dispelled any worries.
The aftercare has been fantastic, staff were available on the phone at anytime in the week preceding the surgery. Overall I am extremely happy and would highly recommend and would like to thank the Vision care clinic and Dr Darcy.

I saw Mr Kieren Darcy in 2022 after my optician thought I might have an unusual corneal condition called kerataconus. The optician had tried unsuccessfully for a year to fit me with satisfactory contact lenses.
I had a very useful consultation with Mr Darcy who suggested I try scleral contact lenses.
They have been amazing. They are comfortable to have in my eyes from morning until night. And have transformed my life.
Thank you Mr Darcy and all involved in Vision Care Clinic.

I was referred to Kieran, as I have keratoconus in both eyes but also a cataract in my left eye, which has also had a corneal graft! On being referred to Kieran and the Vision Care Clinic My vision was really poor and I was well below the legal limit for driving. Following my cataract surgery I am writing this review without glasses, can use a computer and watch TV all without glasses. To say I am over the moon would be an understatement. The care and service I have received from the team at the vision care clinic has been amazing and I would recommend them to anyone who wants or needs to improve their vision

Vision Care Clinic is a great choice if you are researching who to trust when it comes to your eyes.

They put in a lot of effort to do the prep work properly - by way of example, I was asked to not wear my contact lenses for 5 days ahead of the extensive measurement tests as contact lens wear can distort the results - I got my dates wrong and only had 2 days of lens free wear. Mr Darcey took the measurements but wanted to re-measure at a later date just in case my lens wear had distorted the results even in a very small way. That impressed me and proved that I had found the right expert.

I opted for trifocal bilateral lenses after much research and deliberation. It was stressful considering the various options but Mr Darcy patiently ran through the options and answered my many questions. In the end, the convenience of 20/20 near and far vision was worth the upgrade and the end results are very impressive.

I highly recommend Vision Care, diligent throughout and a very impressive team that truly care about optimising the outcome.

Complete life changer !! Before opp I would have to wear glasses for reading then change glasses for driving, I struggled with short & long sight, since opp aprox 7 weeks ago, I have not picked up a pair of glasses & Vision is spot on,
Complete Professional service from start to finish, big thanks to Kieran Linda & Ivy, I would have no hesitation in Recommending Kieran & his team 😀

From the the moment I arrived at the Nuffield Cinic I felt I was in safe hands the whole procedure from beginning to end was completely stress free .. Kieren Darcy is excellent and the end result result is phenomenal I can’t thank you all enough.

For a while I had been considering lens replacement surgery. I wear contact lenses and getting concerned that at some point I would not be able to have the surgery as my prescription was increasing.
One of the reasons I chose Mr Darcy was the opportunity to have a consultation over the phone. I could ask all the questions I wanted without having to travel.
Once I decided to go ahead, the whole procedure including pre and post surgery was fantastic
I chose to have surgery on both eyes at the same time. For me this was the best decision. Everything went extremely well. The following day my sight was incredible and got better over the following few days
Now 2 months on and my check ups show I have 20:20 vision
I would recommend Mr Darcy and his team to everyone considering lens replacement surgery
Thank you Kieran, Ivy and Cheryl

A week ago I had multifocal lens implant surgery with Mr Kieren Darcy and the results have been outstanding. After much investigation, I chose to see Mr Darcy due to the senior position he also holds at Bristol Eye Hospital in addition to his private work and his extensive experience and my confidence in him was confirmed from the initial consultation.
Mr Darcy is thorough and clear and at no point did I feel rushed or pressured into agreeing to surgery. He took time to understand my needs and expectations. His team members, Linda Lewis and Ivy Le, are to be commended too, for their outstanding friendliness and professionalism. They all put me at my ease, but most importantly, between them I received a rigorous and full appraisal of my eye health and optical needs.
Mr Darcy’s PA Cheryl was very accommodating when I had to reschedule my surgery date only hours before I was due to attend when I tested positive for Covid - nothing is ever too much trouble.
The surgery itself took approximately 8 minutes per eye and at no point during or since have I experienced any discomfort. By the following day I was able to read a book without glasses and my vision improved rapidly each day. By my post-surgery check-up appointment 5 days later my vision had already improved so well I was assessed as having 20/20 vision.
This surgery has been transformational for me. Eyes are so precious but there is nothing I could fault in any aspect of my journey with Vision Care. I unreservedly recommend Mr Darcy and his team for cataract surgery.

Having had Lasik eye surgery nearly 30 years ago, my eyesight started to deteriorate and I was keen to see if i could have it corrected again. After a very detailed consultation, Kieren Darcy explained that he would only be happy to perform the surgery on the left eye as the right had some damage and there would be a risk of making it worse, however, he suggested that monocular vision may be of benefit to me as the right eye prescription was not too bad for distance and very good for close up. He said the brain will quickly assimilate this information and used the left eye for distance and the right for reading etc.
I decided to go ahead with the surgery and I can honestly say I can carry on my day to day, play sport, watch TV, use my phone etc without any problems what so ever. I hate wearing glasses, so I'm very grateful to Kieren and the team at the Nuffield for their help and care, the surgery has greatly improved my quality of life.

I was an optometrist for nearly 40 years and in that time sent many patients off to have cataract surgery, I then followed them up post operatively and saw the results both good and bad, so I was a little apprehensive when it came to my turn for the operation. I chose to go privately so I would have more time to discuss the many lens replacement options that are now available. Kieren was great, calm and knowledgeable, and the pre op assessment was very thorough and the equipment and measurements taken blew me away.
We decided on a trifocal implant so I would not be reliant on specs afterwards, and Kieren suggested an additional procedure to help me get the best out of the operation which I hadn't realised was an option.
The operation itself was very professionally managed and today was my discharge day. I am pleased to say I have virtually no distance error and can read the smallest print so I am very impressed and pleased. If I was still in practice I would have no hesitation in recommending the Visioncareclinic team to my patients and indeed when my other eye needs sorting "I'll be back".

I have worn glasses and contact lenses since I was 14 yrs old but always a compromise with less than perfect vision . As I got older I needed lens for reading in one eye and lens for distance in other. Then varifocal glasses when eyes got older . I have astigmatism also . I never had perfect vision due to these issues and then cataracts bilaterally. I knew I had to have surgery so opted to go privately to get the best lens I could and after research I booked to see Kieren at his vision care clinic. I am so happy that I did and from the first consultation through to my post op visit he has made me feel at ease and explained all my choices. The pre op assessment was thorough and gave me confidence that I was in good hands. I had both eyes done on the same day after full discussion of the pros and cons . This had to be in Cardiff which was worth the travel to have both eyes on same day, although this did heighten my concerns initially to have both done at the same time . It did mean no juggling glasses for the interim period whilst waiting for the other eye to be done.
The procedure itself was well managed with lovely staff to put me at ease whilst anaesthetic drops etc were administered and Kieren again explained everything at each stage . It was nothing like I was expecting . I won’t lie , I was nervous but It was painless and just like looking into a kaleidoscope , all done in less than 30 mins. Don’t know why I worried ! It’s been over a week now where I have followed all post op instructions ( lots of drops ) and I have the best vision I have ever had ! … I cannot thank Kieren and his team enough for giving me freedom from glasses after 50 yrs ! I would not hesitate to recommend Kieren and vision care clinic. Life changing !
