Evolution Eye Care Reviews

I recently had cataract surgery with Mr Shah of Evolution Eye Care, with the surgery being carried out by him at the Prema Clinic in Portsmouth. The entire experience was faultless from the moment of my first consultation with Mr Shah at Evolution in Jersey, to the surgery in Portsmouth, followed up by a very helpful and detailed email received early in the morning after surgery explaining what I should expect to feel and reminding me how to care for my eye. The team in Jersey are really efficient and professional, whilst also being friendly and the same applies to all at Prema, a very modern and comfortable location, which is ideally located just across the road from the Premier Inn in Binnacle Way, making access so easy for anyone with limited mobility. My confidence in Mr Shah was certainly not misplaced as my surgery went really well, seeming to be over in minutes. The sight in my eye is now amazing and I cannot thank Mr Shah enough for such a successful outcome. Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend the Prema Pathway to anyone needing cataract surgery.

I am a 60 year old woman who has worn glasses since I was 18yrs old. I finally decided to make a decision and go for Lens Replacement Surgery with Mr Shah at Evolution Eye Care in Jersey. As you can imagine you feel very vulnerable when dealing with your precious eyesight! I was apprehensive about the procedure but I can honestly say after meeting with Mr Shah his knowledge, calmness and description of the operation really put my mind at rest. Attending the hospital on the morning couldn’t have been made anymore easier in a friendly relaxing environment. Both eyes were done within an hour and I felt no pain. The aftercare was wonderful however the first 24hrs you do need someone to be with you for support. Within 3 days it was truly amazing how much my eyesight had improved. The procedure has made a massive difference to me and I can’t thank Mr Shah enough for this life changing experience. I would strongly recommend Mr Shah and his team to anyone considering Eye Lens Replacement Surgery.

I have recently had cataract and lens replacement surgery for both of my eyes undertaken by Mr A Shah of Evolution Eye Care. It was suggested to me that l travel to Portsmouth to Prema Clinic where Mr Shah and his team there would carry out the procedures. I travelled by plane from Jersey to Southampton airport the night before surgery and took a short 20 minute taxi ride from Southampton airport directly to the Premier Inn Hotel at Port Solent, Portsmouth . The hotel is a mere 100 yards from the Prema Clinic where the procedure was undertaken. The whole experience was without problem and proved to be very easy and stress free for me. As l was having both eyes treated and was traveling alone, after the procedures l was assisted back to the hotel by a very nice young lady from the clinic. The next morning a return taxi ride back to Southampton airport and then a short flight back to Jersey. The Prema Clinic in Portsmouth is modern and well equipped and l am delighted with the results of my procedures. Thank you so much to Mr Shah and his team at Evolution Eye Care in Jersey and to the team at Prema Clinic in Portsmouth. I have no hesitation in recommending for this procedure to be undertaken by Mr Shah at Prema Clinic in Portsmouth and for the follow up care l have received from Mr Shah at Evolution Eye Care.

I was extremely nervous over the whole idea of having an operation on my eye, but Mr Shah and the team at Evolution did an excellent job in reducing those nerves by talking me through the process and providing easy to understand information; much better than the overload of information on the internet. Most importantly, having had the cataract in my left eye removed, I now have excellent vision in that eye. The day of the operation itself started with registering at the Day Surgery Unit at 8.00 am having already put some eye drops in my eye at home to dilate it for the operation. Then after form filling and more eye drops it was time to sit and wait to be called. One point to note is that with my left eye dilated I found it difficult to read so recommend taking an iPad or similar with a bigger screen and font size for the waiting period. The operation itself was over fairly quickly, first I had local anaesthetic in the eye (marked with a big arrow on my forehead) and was then wheeled into the theatre where my good right eye was covered and the operation commenced. My biggest worry had been flinching when I saw the probes enter my eye, but I couldn’t really see anything, just lights through water which reminded me of looking at the surface of the sea when snorkelling, very strange; and it was completely painless. There was a patch and shield over my eye which made it very difficult to wear my glasses for my right eye but in the evening we went for a gentle walk through the lanes near our house. Next morning I took the patch and shield off, bathed my eye, and by mid morning I had good vision in my left eye, actually clearer than in my right eye. Many thank to Mr Shah and the team at Evolution for all their care and assistance through this.

From my first meeting with the two ladies in the office and my subsequent much-needed appointment with Mr. Bowler, I cannot praise Evolution Eye Care enough. The calm atmosphere at the Clinic is very soothing and Mr. Bowler put me at ease immediately. He diagnosed my distressing eye problem, which several doctors over the previous six months had failed to do, and my recovery started there and then.

I was very satisfied with how Evolution acted regarding a cataract problem in one eye. The problem was resolved only two weeks after having attended an initial appointment with the care and attention to detail provided being of a very high standard. The eyesight in the affected eye now seems as good as it has ever been

I have recently had a Pars plana Vitrectomy and Macular membrane peel operation through Evolution Eye Care. Mr Shah was excellent and looked after me from start to finish. In light of unsettling reports concerning poor clinical care on Island, I cannot say strongly enough how I disagree with these findings. It’s an emotional time having eye surgery and travelling to the UK would have added to the stress. I am grateful that through Mr Shah and his team this was therefore not necessary. I have just read my first newspaper only after a few weeks! Very pleased with the care I received. Thankyou Gillian Oakes

Over the past year, the sight in my good eye has deteriorated quite quickly, needing more and more pairs of glasses to keep up. I decided to see Mr Shah, who had previously carried out complicated work on the other eye. From reception to consultation and on to surgery I could not have received better care. I was kept informed all along the way and the result of the cataract removal and implant of a new lens is nothing short of miraculous. My sight is so good that I can read letters on the bottom line of the chart. Why anyone would want to go elsewhere for their care is a mystery. Thank you Mr Shah and your team.

Excellent. Friendly and professional with everything explained. Cataract surgery on both eyes went extremely smoothly. Amazing result. Superb aftercare. Highly recommended - absolutely no need to go to UK for this procedure at all as the expertise is available right here on Jersey.

I am a States doctor who has private health insurance through my husbands work and used it for the first time to secure Anish Shah whom I know professionally and from the school run! I researched the benefits of local surgery versus London and there was no contest. Anish is highly experienced and the best surgeons are the ones who do the procedure hundreds, if not thousands of times. He has access to the best lens implants and equipment and is highly trained and skilled, having trained extensively in London and Moorfields. Keeping the eye still and clean for the first few days post op is critical and why would you risk germy travel and airports for the false belief you will get a superior service in London? There are many ops I would gladly travel to the UK for but not what I call ‘bread and butter’ eye surgery. I was in Day Surgery at 12.30pm and back home on my sofa by 5. Because I am a coward I had a general anaesthetic with Dr Caroline Jenkins who was utterly wonderful too and managed my fear of my first ever GA with calm efficiency and reassurance. The nurses were all fantastic and knew how frightened I was and I am still incredulous at the quality of this service that we can provide locally. In fact for the procedure I had to just make one pre-authorization phone call and sign once and that was it! Everything else was magically done by Evolution Eye Care! Anish, you are brilliant. Almost looking forward to getting the second one done in a few years!!

Mr Shah was very through in examining my eyes and was able to confirm that I needed cataract surgery in one eye but not the other. The initial consultation, surgery and post surgery consultation couldn't have been smoother. Things ran like clockwork on the day of surgery, and the anaesthetist and surgery teams were great, keeping me informed all the way, and making sure I was comfortable. Post surgery instructions were clear and easy to follow and the change in my vision was dramatic. I highly recommend Mr Shah and the team.

I had my cataract surgery done two weeks ago by Mr Shah at the general Hospital in day surgery. I have nothing but praise for the friendliness of the staff as well as their professionalism. I could not have asked for better treatment and in particular for the skill of Anish Shah, he has literally changed my world. I can see clearly for the first time in 63 years, so a huge thank you to him!! Judy Baxter

I recently had cataracts removed and lens implants in both eyes. I decided to pay privately through Evolution Eye Care. Any apprehension I may have had were soon allayed. Mr Anish Shah and his team were very friendly and reassuring. The procedure was quick and painless and now I’m delighted that I now have 20/20 vision. A massive thank you to Mr Shah at Evolution Eye Care and would certainly recommend him.

What a brilliant facility we have here on the island. My husband had cataracts in both of his eyes and rather than wait for treatment through our health service, he went private through Evolution Eye Care. Mr Shah and his team were all friendly and the treatment he received was first class. His procedure was carried out at the General Hospital in Jersey by Mr Shah and a team of professional clinicians. Why anyone would want to go further afield to be treated elsewhere when we have the expertise and facilities on the island is beyond me. A huge thank you to Mr Shah and his team, my husbands eye sight is completely restored and we have no hesitation in recommending this excellent Jersey facility.
