From the Surgeon Himself

From the Surgeon Himself

Below, Mr. Mathew talks about his career, and his audited clinical outcomes:

“I have performed over 15,000 lens eye surgeries, over 2,000 laser eye surgeries, and treated over 40,000 eyes.

The following figures come from patient audits of my work, taken one month after surgery where that is stated. Just as individual patients vary, individual results vary. These are not a guarantee of the same result for every patient.

99.3%

UK driving standard

One month after intraocular lens surgery (Class 1 licences, 2,739 patients).

96.0%

Reading vision

Able to read newspaper print or smaller one month after the operation (2,055 patients).

98.9%

Patient satisfaction

Overall satisfaction rating across surveyed patients (2,283 patients).

I graduated from the University of Madras, and trained at several teaching hospitals, including the Tennent Institute in Glasgow, and the Queen’s Medical Centre at the University of Nottingham, where I was appointed Clinical Lecturer and Specialist Registrar.

I treated patients as a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. I also served as a specialist doctor tutor, with clinical expertise in glaucoma, cornea, and external eye diseases.

I have authored several peer-reviewed academic articles, and presented research papers to my peers in the profession.”
