Hear from our satisfied patients
The surgeon was excellent, the staff very pleasant and knowledgeable. The atmosphere in the clinic was serene and unhurried.As I said to Bola my surgeon she really is a miracle worker, making "the blind to see". I had bilateral cataract surgery, and afterwards I could see without aid which I had not been able to do for 65 years.
I have had cataract removed from both of my eyes at My-iClinic, with last surgery done yesterday 06-02-2023. On both occasions, the medical side of the surgery was carried out with level of professionalism in a state of the art environment. The clinic cleaniless is outstanding.
Brilliant Treatment resulted in Brilliant Vision After noticing that my distance vision when driving was becoming uncomfortable and driving at night was becoming more and more difficult and new prescription glasses didn’t make much difference I decided to have cataract surgery. A friend recommended I have a consultation at the I-Clinic. Their professional examination was really Impressive and I had my totally painless operation to remove the cataracts (on both eyes) completed within the next four weeks.
I was recommended to Mr Bulger by a friend and was very pleased with the entire process for removing cataracts and improving my vision remarkably. It really is a miracle. All of the staff were kind and attentive and with Mr Bulger I felt that I was in very safe hands. Follow up activity was with Ms Odufuwa who was most helpful and attentive
I cannot praise My-Iclinic enough from my initial consultation to pre op and my surgery. The staff are reassuring and extremely professional in every aspect of the process. Mrs Bola Oduwufa is a wonderful surgeon and a magician in my eyes !!!. My double cataract extraction and lens replacement has improved my eyesight 1000%.I didn’t realise how flat and dull the colours and perspective of seeing life through my eyes had become due to the cataracts.
The care taken by all the clinic staff to ensure that I was comfortable, kept informed of what was being done to my eye and made to feel relaxed during the pre op tests was of an extremely high standard The surgeon was thorough, in the initial meeting, in explaining the problems and procedure that she would use to remove my cataracts.
Fantastic results. I was so impressed by all the staff and the extensive pre and post op test and scans which has resulted in 20:20 vision. My surgeon made the double cataract operation as easy a process as possible with re-assurance at all steps. Highly, highly recommended
Absolutely fantastic team, highly recommended! I was extremely nervous about my LASIK surgery but the girls looked after me and put me at ease, everything from the consultation to surgery to the follow ups checks was a smooth process, phone calls and emails answered quickly, clinic easy to find, free parking onsite, clinic and equipment all very clean, thank you ladies x
Excellent service. Mike Charman set up my contract easily with a very competitive price. He was friendly and answered all my questions. Thank you
My daughter have myopia and she received a wonderful care from all the team I recommend this clinic to all parents who have a child suffering from myopia now my child in a safe hands thank you Mr. Bolger and thanks to all the team 🌹🙏
My-iClinic was recommended by my optometrist. Both eyes were done quickly, painlessly and by a friendly team and one of two expert eye surgeons. Mr Bolger inspires confidence. I think I've had mine done early before the cataracts developed too much, which I recommend. The clarity is wonderful. Don't wait for your vision to get worse.
I am a absolutely terrified of anybody going near my eyes, it took a lot of courage to go ahead with treatment. During treatment the nurses and everybody concerned made great efforts to give me confidence. The staff were very friendly and thorough in their approach with attention to detail at every stage. I could have had the treatment in Cyprus at a much lower cost - but finally decided that My-iClinic from reports I had read and comments made to me was the best option. All the time remember you only have one set of eyes - and I have always felt it is your most important sense
Double vision Frequently asked questions
Have a question? We are here to help.
What is Double vision (diplopia)?
Double vision (also known as diplopia) is a condition which creates a duplication in your eyesight. For example, when you look at one object, you will see two objects. This causes distortion and blurriness as well as other discomforting side effects for everyday routine tasks. Double vision symptoms may be temporary or long-lasting which requires an accurate diagnosis to resolve the condition.
What causes Double vision (diplopia)?
Double vision can be caused by refractive errors, misaligning eyes, development of cataracts or an underlying neurological condition. When you visit My-iClinic for a private consultation, our ophthalmologists will carry out eye assessments and any further investigations needed to diagnose the cause of your double vision symptoms.
What are the common symptoms of Double vision?
Patients who have double vision express their symptoms as:
- Seeing a duplicate of one image in your vision
- Headaches, dizziness & nausea
- Painful eye movements and/or weak sensation of the eyes
- Difficulty reading, driving & performing daily routine tasks
What happens if I don’t seek treatment for double vision?
Double vision may go away on its own. The condition can be easily corrected if the cause is a refractive error (corrected by glasses for double vision, contact lenses or vision correction treatment). If, however, your double vision is not caused by a typical refractive error, there may be a more serious cause and it is best to have an eye assessment to investigate the issue. If you are concerned with any double vision symptoms, please contact our specialist on 0208 445 8877 for more information about an assessment.
How can I treat my double vision (diplopia) if the cause is neurological?
If our ophthalmologist suspects the cause of your double vision is due to a neurological condition, our neurology specialist will examine you for further investigations. This will include MRI scans for a thorough assessment and understanding.
Is it normal to have double vision in one eye?
Monocular double vision (double vision in only one eye) is very uncommon and is usually caused by dry eye syndrome, astigmatism or cataracts. If you are experiencing double vision in one eye, we can carry out ophthalmic assessments to investigate the cause of your symptoms and find a suitable treatment.
How does patching eye treatment help with double vision (diplopia)?
Patching your eyes helps reduce double vision symptoms by blocking the double image being produced in your eyesight. Eye patching is a form of occlusion therapy, which takes time to train and stop symptoms from occurring again. Eye patching is an effective treatment and can be a suitable treatment for both children and adults.
