Very good surgeon.

I found Mr Maurino after making extensive enquiries of friends and friends of friends. Everyone needs good eyes, I am an artist, a painter. I had eye surgery on the NHS last year and knew that the surgery would cause me to have cataracts. I had worn glasses for many years and even with a new prescription I was struggling. Mr Maurino performed bilateral sequential cataract surgery with Vivity EDoF implants. In other words, I had new lenses put into my eyes. Apart from the cataracts, my prescription was for long and short sight and an astigmatism. I no longer need to wear glasses at all. I struggle a little to read small writing in poor light but apart from that it is incredible! Prior to the surgery I had extensive examination of my eyes by him and his team, who are charming. Mr Maurino explained everything clearly and told me the pros and cons, explained what could go wrong in a small percentage of cases. He thought that after surgery I might need glasses for reading, I don't. I certainly don't need them for painting. The eyes are still settling down after the surgery and so far so good. If there is a con it would be the cost, it was very expensive for me, of course not so for everyone but I would rather put my eyes in the hands of a skilled expert and pay properly than opt for a bargain - it would never be worth it. I hope that I won't have to wear glasses again and that is a huge future saving and I can wear any sunglasses I like instead of an elderly prescription pair. My world has been made incredibly bright.

YAG capsulotomy

Thank you to Mr Maurino and his brilliant team again. The vision in my right eye suddenly became very blurry and cloudy which was extremely worrying. (I had cataract surgery previously with multi focal IOLs which have been amazing) I phoned Ana who was so reassuring, and an appointment was made. Mr Maurino was so calming and professional, quickly diagnosing my problem which he explained clearly. I needed a YAG capsulotomy which he was able to perform immediately. I found the procedure to be completely painless and fascinating! My vision was restored immediately and I felt like dancing as I left the clinic having been so anxious! Thank you again Vincenzo, not just for you skills but for being such a lovely person too.

Life-changing

I had a laser eye corrective surgery for short-sightedness done by Dr. Maurino in the autumn of 2021. I have nothing but positives. The whole process was very quick and smooth. I was a bit nervous on the day of the operations but it was done so quickly (felt like 10 minutes max) I couldn’t believe it. The whole team is incredibly professional, there is never any pressure to agree to something and the fact that it’s done at Moorfields provides an extra piece of mind. If you are thinking of doing it but you are a bit nervous or hesitant, my advice would be to go for a consultation to meet Dr Maurino and the team. As I said, the operation was very quick and painless, I had no problems with the recovery either, so don’t let any fear or anxiety put you off from an operation which will make a big difference to your life

Extemely Happy

I underwent surgery to replace the lenses in both eyes in early December. I am very happy with the result - going swimming is a particular joy after years of having a fuzzy view of the pool. The service provided by Mr Maurino, and his team, was excellent. They were very diligent on explaining the risks of surgery and provided good support material.

Excellent visual outcomes following ICL surgery

I had ICL surgery and achieved excellent visual outcomes (better than 20/20 vision). I'm very grateful to Mr Maurino who is very experienced and remained professional throughout the whole process. He eased my concerns and I felt as though I was in safe hands throughout. For these reasons, the surgery was 100% worth it for me! However, the admin team were not responsive at times so it took time to re-schedule my appointment and receive answers to my queries (I did not receive an email response for ~2/3 weeks).

Magic Hands of Mr Maurino

After 40 or so years of wearing glasses and with a frequently increasing myopia, I am effectively glasses free now. Due to a developing cataract, my optometrist decided that getting a new pair of glasses was pointless so he referred me to Mr Maurino as one of the best in the industry. I am very happy he did so. Mr Maurino replaced the cloudy lenses in my eyes with IOLs effectively fixing two problems - the cataract and myopia. Yesterday I had a check up and my right eye prescription has gone down from -11.5 to -0.25. Magic! It may be a cliché statement, but I wish I had done this operation a long time ago. Although I had no problem wearing glasses it is the impaired vision that made me have this operation. Thanks Mr Maurino.

Really happy with the outcome

Really happy with the outcome - all my expectations were well managed, and staff was really professional and kind. LASEK was probably one of the best decisions ever!

Lens replacement

Fantastic! Well worth doing, the whole procedure from initial consultation through surgery then being discharged was easy and straightforward. Everyone at Moorfields was pleasant and helpful, and Mr Maurino was great. Special shout out for all the staff on Cumberlege Wing, especially Samy Pentiah who was excellent. I do not need prescription glasses now, thank you all so much.
