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

Lazy Eyes Frequently asked questions
Have a question? We are here to help.
What is a lazy eye?
A lazy eye (formally called ‘amblyopia’) is a condition where the vision in one eye does not develop properly, caused by an imbalance of the muscles that correctly position both eyes. A lazy eye appears to turn inwards or outwards, causing reduced and blurry vision.
What causes a lazy eye in adults (amblyopia)?
If an adult develops a lazy eye without a diagnosis as a child it can be due to head trauma or an eye condition that affects this vision in one eye. Though very rare, some medical conditions like thyroid problems, diabetes or myasthenia gravis may cause a lazy eye in adulthood.
What causes a lazy eye in children?
A lazy eye in children occurs when the muscles of an eye are undeveloped, causing an imbalance between the two eyes.
How does a lazy eye appear in children?
A lazy eye appears as a misalignment of the eyes. You will notice if your child has a lazy eye if one of the eyes turns inward or outward from where the eye should situate. A lazy eye causes poor depth perception, reading difficulties and decreased vision. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, we can check their eyes and diagnose their condition for a treatment referral. Please contact 0208 445 8877
At what age is lazy eye normally diagnosed?
A lazy eye can be visible and noticed from birth, but the development of a lazy eye may occur until ten years old. A lazy eye can be diagnosed during this time, and treatment is more effective when the child is younger.
How do you get tested for a lazy eye?
It is always best to visit your local opticians to get a routine eye check. Our ophthalmologist will be able to diagnose a lazy eye and monitor its condition with our clinic facilities. We understand the visual difficulties your child may be experiencing, which is why our ophthalmologist will refer you for treatment.
What is a lazy eye patch for children?
We provide eye patches to help assist children who suffer from the visual complications with their lazy eye (amblyopia). Our ophthalmologist uses the eye patch as occlusion therapy which strengthens the connection between the neurological brain signals and the eye’s vision.
Can a lazy eye get worse?
A lazy eye (amblyopia) can get worse over time if the condition is left untreated. Amblyopia can worsen by reducing your peripheral vision, depth of perception and 3D vision, causing temporary and/or permanent vision loss in the future.
Can my child develop a lazy eye in both eyes?
It is very uncommon to develop a lazy eye in both eyes.
Does a lazy eye get worse with age?
For children who have strabismus, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the condition from getting worse. A lazy eye can get worse in adulthood if left untreated.
Is a lazy eye (amblyopia) genetic?
A lazy eye can be caused by genetic or environmental causes. Other lazy eye conditions may develop later in life due to suffering head trauma and/or another eye condition that may onset the development of a lazy eye.
Can lazy eyes be treated?
Can you outgrow a lazy eye/ strabismus (amblyopia)?
You cannot outgrow a lazy eye, but treatment is available to help prevent vision loss and surgery to correct the shape of the strabismus. We can provide treatment planning to help improve the quality of your vision, which is being affected by your lazy eye. If you are seeking a diagnosis and comprehensive check-up on the condition of your vision from a lazy eye, we can book you in for an all-inclusive private consultation with our lazy eye specialist.
