Professional and efficient care

The entire process from start to finish was very professional and efficient and this applies to all members of Mr Maurino’s team. The surgery was carried out without any hitches and I’m very pleased with the results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Excellent

Excellent I can't praise Vincenzo Maurino and his team enough. From first enquiry to post op consultation I received a professional and thorough service. And of course the results are fantastic. I highly recommend.

Amazing results from transPRK surgery

I went for a consultation to free myself from contact lenses - it was recommended that I had trans PRK surgery, which was nerve-wracking but has ended up being the best decision I've made. Dr. Maurino and all of his staff were very helpful and informative, the surgery itself was much better than I anticipated. Whilst recovery is slower with trans PRK, I was given great aftercare and all of the best medicines/advice to help. After 3 months, I now have better than 20:20 vision and couldn't rate Dr. Maurino or his team more highly

Trans-PRK (No Touch Lasek) at age 24

I had the Trans-PRK procedure to correct my near sighted vision in April 2022. The process that Mr Maurino’s and team provided involved an initial consultation, where my eyes and vision were checked and the most appropriate surgery for me was outlined. I was then able to book the surgery very easily at the date and time of my choosing, with detailed information on the procedure, what to do to minimize complications and ensure the most efficient recovery. The surgery day itself involved receiving the prescribed drops and then almost immediately after heading in to have the surgery - which was very quick - with the team guiding/instructing throughout. Time had to be taken off of work for one week to allow for recovery. There was some fluctuation of pain in the eyes for several days following, but this was to be expected as it was explained during the initial consultation. The drops provided helped massively to deal with this discomfort too. I was seeing much better after only a few weeks. 3 months following the surgery, I had a check up with similar tests to the initial consultation. Here it was explained to me that I had surpassed 20/20 vision. With the health and vision of my eyes being very good I was discharged from the practice, but Mr Maurino stated that should I notice any issues to not hesitate to contact his practice. Several months on, my eyes still do get dry easily, but this again was expected, and is a very minor discomfort that can be resolved with eye drops. Overall I am very happy with the service, there was little waiting, everything was very straightforward, explained well and to the point. I cannot praise enough the life changing work of Mr Maurino and the team!

Cataract Surgery

I have myopia, keratoconus, glaucoma, astigmatism and because of ulcers on the cornea, had corneal grafts carried out 26 years ago. These conditions had not impacted on my life in any way until a few years ago when I developed cataracts and my sight rapidly got worse. I could see almost nothing without my contact lenses which I've worn since I was a teenager but was told by specialists that cataract removal would be very risky. I researched the best cataract surgeons and Mr Maurino's profile really stood out. At Moorfields, Mr Maurino carefully explained the procedure in detail and with professionalism and confidence. He made it clear that I would still have to wear contact lenses afterwards because of my other problems, but I was happy with that as long as the cataracts were gone. After the procedure on the first eye, I was absolutely amazed at how well I could see without the contact lens. I did not expect such a fantastic result! It was just unbelievable. Now the other eye has been done and the result is almost as good. All my life I was told by optometrists that I could never wear glasses, only contact lenses. Now I can choose to wear either glasses or contacts to give me 20/20 vision. How many people are delighted to be told they can wear glasses? I only need them for reading or driving and can do without them for most things. I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Maurino and his team. The whole experience went very smoothly and although the 5 return flights from Belfast increased the cost, it was worth every penny!

Don't hesitate

A top professional whose approach before, during and post surgery made me feel reassured, safe and confident that I was in excellent hands. Excellent practical support too from Mr Maurino's assistant. I am delighted with the outcome and glad that I plucked up the courage to go ahead.

Fantastic doctor and team

I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Maurino and his team. My case was a complex one :: I am young, partially sighted, and had developed a rare complication a few weeks after a cataract surgery elsewhere. From the moment I anxiously contacted the amazing Ms Santos I knew I was in safe hands. I was seen quickly and received care, empathy, and expertise. Mr Maurino explained the difficult situation and options very clearly. I proceeded with his recommended laser procedures and my remaining sight was restored. It's now been about a year after my operation: a year that I see the best I ever had in my life I am really grateful to Mr Maurino and his fantastic team.
