Oculase Eye Clinic - Laser Eye Surgery & Cataract Surgery

I Highly recommend Oculase-The Eye Clinic if you want to avoid the long wait for NHS cataract surgery or would like special lenses not offered on the NHS. I received excellent treatment and after care from Mr. Ayoub.

In March 23 I was referred to Oculase for Cataract Surgery, which was undertaken by Mr Ayoub in August. My entire experience was excellent! Everything from administration, medical advice and most importantly the improvement to my vision after surgery was 1st class. Mr Ayoub and his team are also lovely people and clearly care greatly about their patients.

I had superb life changing experience at Oculase for an ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery. Dr. Tariq Ayoub is a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and plenty of follow-up checks. I am so glad I chose Oculase and would highly recommend to anyone considering corrective eye surgery. TL:DR - if you'd like to learn more about my journey, read on.

I had been wearing glasses from the age of 5, maybe earlier, perhaps I was too young to remember for certain. I have very high myopia (approx -9 to -10 diopters) with astigmatism added to the mix. Thus, Laser surgery was never in the cards for me. I had gotten used to a life wearing thick glasses which meant minimising contact sports, foggy vision in winter due to glass condensation and many other things such as swimming wasn't very enjoyable.

I had tried contact lenses for a while but they were a pain as eyes got dry and the headache of remembering to take them off for bed time. When I spoke with Tariq about my issues and wanting a glasses free solution, I was intrigued and somewhat skeptical to hear about ICL surgery, so decided to explore it. I had a several consultations at Oculase where detailed checks were done on my eyes in order to determine the best possible solution.

I had lengthy discussions with Tariq where he explained why ICL was the best option, backed by data from the scans and insights from experts. Of course, there were risks as well which I felt Tariq did best to put me at ease. His availability night and day over a quick call or response to messages was super helpful in this process. The operation itself was expertly handed by Tariq and the team.

I was fairly relaxed thanks to the pre op discussion by the friendly staff at the clinic (and calming music helped!). The procedure was quick, painless and almost immediately after I was able to see better than I did with glasses. There were of course some artefacts in my vision (flashes, halos) which took a few weeks to go away as the eyes healed from surgery.

Post operative care was explained to me thoroughly by the clinical team and Tariq was always at hand to address any concerns as my eyes healed over the weeks. Within a week my vision had become better than ever, perfect 20/20 and with most of the meticulous post op aftercare out of the way, I began to take notice of improvements in lifestyle. No more blurry showers or swimming, no fumbling for glasses first thing in morning or during night waking, not having to repeatedly clean glasses thorough out the day, improved peripheral vision, no lenses, no glasses anxiety when exercising, playing sports or going out for a run, the list goes on.

I will most certainly add to the list of improvements as more things being apparent, that I had just gotten "used to" while wearing glasses. In closing, my only regret is not knowing of this earlier in life! Thank you Tariq and Oculase for taking me through this life changing experience.

My Ayoub immediately put me at ease. I went to see him because I had a cyst inside my right eye. His assessment was thorough and I felt reassured by his diagnosis and recommended next steps. I am very pleased to have found him and will definitely return to his care should surgery be required in the future.

The treatment I received was YAG Capsulotomy in both eyes. The care I received from Mr Ayoub and his team was outstanding and I will forever be grateful for Mr Ayoub and his team for restoring my sight. Before I went into the surgery I was unable to see much of the outside world but when I came out everything was bright. It was an amazing experience. I would recommend this clinic to anyone with eye problems.

I have been very pleased with my cataract surgery and the excellent service provided by Mr Ayoub and his team. He was throughout very responsive to my questions and accommodating to my requests. I would recommend Oculase if you are considering cataract surgery privately. I have not had any problems since the operation. My slight regret is that I chose mono-focal rather than trifocal lenses as I am finding it hard to adjust to needing reading glasses to read my watch and my phone! However, having been very short sighted since childhood I have just enjoyed my first swim - 2 weeks post surgery and it was a joy to be able to read the clock and see around the pool for the first time in 50 years! Thank you very much

Absolutely brilliant and kind team of people. Couldn't be happier with the results which were practically instant. Could not recommend this treatment or team enough

A definite step up in eye care. Dr. Tariq Ayoub is an excellent consultant and surgeon and I have turned to him numerous times for his professional acumen. He stands apart from his fellow peers in his diligence, diagnosis and treatment. Definitely the best eye clinic to turn to in London.

I have just had my final check-up, 6 months after my laser eye surgery and I have 20:20 vision, I couldn't be happier! I have worn glasses since the age of 9 and hated wearing them. I moved onto contacts but was always conscious of dry eyes and infections from wearing them which is why I opted for laser eye surgery. My whole experience with Dr Tariq Ayoub, from the start of understanding the procedure, right through to all the checkups was amazing, I would highly recommend him.

The support The Eye Clinic in Fulham was also brilliant, with flexibility on appointments as I travelled into London from Buckinghamshire. The support after the procedure was very considerate and caring. I never felt I was asking a silly question and had a brilliant overall experience. I wish I had done the surgery sooner and I am just so happy with the results!

From the beginning consultation that established I needed both eyes operated on to remove the cataracts to the completion of the process all those involved in appointments were extremely helpful and kind and explained everything fully. I decided to have one eye done at a time and on both occasions Tariq Ayoub explained the process which put my fears to rest.

His skills were truly amazing as I never felt any pain and it felt like he took me on a trip to the galaxy with the bright lights. I am amazed at the result as I am now able to see a brighter world. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I have had cataract procedures on both eyes within the last 3 months. Dr Ayoub and his team display uppermost professionalism in a calm and confident manner. It was very reassuring. The procedure itself is painfree and quicker than I thought it would be probably due the caring and experienced manner of both Mr Ayoub and his staff. The difference in my sight was virtually immediate without any after effects. I have been very very pleased with the whole experience from initial contacts through to completion.

The thought of any surgery however small or big can be a traumatic experience. I’d been meaning to have laser eye correction for a while however just wasn’t sure how to choose the right clinic or more importantly the right doctor. I was then referred to Mr. Tariq Ayoub by a perfectionist friend who had just had eye surgery done through Mr. Ayoub after meticulously searching for and successfully finding the right surgeon.

She couldn’t commend him enough and after meeting Mr. Ayoub I understood why, he was a highly qualified thorough professional from the start to the absolute end. Words cannot describe my experience with him and his clinical team. Mr. Ayoub was both very friendly and professional, he was always extremely thorough and explained everything very well.

The aftercare was second to none. Let me just say all the staff at the clinic knew me by name and always greeted me on every occasion. They were always so helpful and kind, it was always in my comfort zone at OCULASE. I cannot express my happiness and freedom I now have after finding the perfect doctor and going ahead with the surgery. I’m so glad I did. Anyone thinking about laser eye surgery I’d say just go for it, you’ll never look back. Thanks to Mr. Tariq Ayoub I now have perfect vision.

I have seen various eye doctors and surgeons on an NHS and private basis, including world-leading specialists. Dr Ayoub’s service was above all. He explained my eye conditions in a very simple, clear and patient manner which gave me a complete understanding of them and more importantly a peace of mind. He explained the risks and advantages of procedures, allowing me to make informed choices.

Despite the pressurised and emergency situation including time constraints, he was very calm, confident and patient with all of my questions. He was not in any rush to get the appointment over with and he carried out the tests with the utmost care. He is the most professional eye doctor I have experience with and I look forward to continuing any treatment with him.
