Testimonials from our clients

Pelin Kanra NSW

First of all I would like to thank you Dr Meades and your team for a wonderful experience during my lasik surgery.

On my first consultation, my partner and I were very impressed with the level of professionalism. We were given step-by-step information and even watched a DVD on what to expect and how the procedure will take place.

On the day of the surgery, I was greeted with friendly faces and was reassured that all will be OK. Everyone, from reception to the nurses, was caring and sympathetic to my needs.

Your team have shown an outstanding effort in relieving the anxiety which I had of having to go through such a procedure, which I might add, was pain free, fast and nothing to be afraid of.

So I would like to thank you sincerely for giving me the opportunity to see again without having to worry about wearing glasses and carrying contact lens solution wherever I went.

Thank you Dr Meades for giving me a better vision in life.

Stefan Dobosch NSW

Stefan Dobosch had put up with the frustration of wearing glasses for over 30 years, and developing cataracts later in life just added to his day to day issues.

“My arms were just not long enough to read the newspaper,” says Mr Dobosch. “I also needed to wear my glasses to shave and in winter my glasses always fogged up so I couldn’t see. It was very frustrating!”

“Eight of my friends had similar procedures with Dr Tess Huynh, with every one of them very happy. I decided it was time to see if I could get it done too.”

“I went to Parramatta and Dr Huynh tested my eyes and told me I would be suitable for introcular lenses. Dr Huynh explained about the benefits of the new ReSTOR lens and asked if I would like to try them. I had a lot of confidence in Dr Huynh and was happy to go ahead.”

“Both eyes were fixed in a matter of two weeks. I can’t put into words how happy I am. I can now see like a 20 year old kid again. I can read the smallest of print, no problems.”

“My wife Eva would love to get her eyes done now!”

Nadia Hassan NSW

Being extremely short-sighted, 26 year old Nadia Hassan was keen to be free from glasses and contact lenses, especially after seeing the wonderful results achieved by two of her family members who had undergone laser vision correction.

She went to personalEYES and was told at the time of her consultation that she was not suitable for laser vision correction. She felt disappointed but was pleased when she found out that she was suitable for a lens implant to correct her short-sightedness.

She then had AcrySof® Cachet™ Phakic lenses implanted in one eye in October and her second eye in November.

"Until I received the Cachet™ lenses, I had to rely on my glasses or contact lenses all the time," says Nadia. "I hated my glasses because they were so thick and wearing contact lenses for so many years often lead to recurrences of eye infections, which was very frustrating."

"Today, I am so happy as I am unrestricted by my glasses and contact lenses. Finally I can enjoy things such as going to the beach without the fear of losing my contacts in the water."

I recently had my cataracts removed. What a difference!

Everything now is so much clearer and colours are so much brighter. I had been wearing glasses for the last 62 years of my life and even though now I don’t need them anymore I still reach for them when I first get up in the morning. It seems old habits are hard to break.

I would like to thank all the staff at PersonalEYES and especially Dr Kerrie Meades for making my cataract operation a success. Everyone was very nice and made me feel safe and welcome.

If you have cataracts I would thoroughly recommend having them removed, sooner rather than later. The sooner you have them done the faster you can get on with enjoying life.

Gina Russell NSW

I cannot thank enough all the wonderful staff and my fabulous surgeon Dr Kerrie Meades. From the initial consultation I knew I was in safe hands. All the staff were so friendly and thorough in their explanations, treating me like a VIP client.

On the day of my procedure I felt nervous and a little worried, staff member Antoinette (my guardian angel) was there the whole time to put my mind at ease, administer all the necessary drugs and even hold my hand throughout the procedure.

After wearing glasses half my life, being able to see the clock immediately after the procedure literally bought tears to my eyes and not from pain but joy! The procedure has really changed my life, my only regret is not having it done sooner.

Helen Ashton NSW

It's just one day after the procedure and I really want to say a huge thank you to all of you. Some of you I don't even know your names, but everyone made me feel so comfortable yesterday, even though I've never been so scared in my life - and that includes dentist visits and having four children!! You were all lovely, very reassuring and so caring afterwards, while I waited for my husband to finish work and collect me. I so much appreciated everything you all did.

And THEN .... wow! Wendy asked me what the time was after the procedure and I had to do a double-take, I could actually see the time!! To see such a difference so quickly was really unexpected. Yes, it the procedure was a tad uncomfortable, but nowhere near as bad as I'd worked it up to be in my head! And afterwards was fairly OK too, especially once I got to bed and could close my eyes and relax properly. I had a bit of "watery eye" for a little bit before I got home, but nothing really.

Then this morning, I woke up to a whole new world - I cannot believe the difference - you tell me now my vision (both short and long) is better than perfect and the way I'm experiencing the world, I can believe it!! Thank you again all of you - Kerrie, for the marvellous job you've done and the awesome way you carried out the procedure - you took away all my fears and I am so grateful to you; to Wendy for being so reassuring beforehand and just being there afterwards and the young lady (I'm afraid I either don't know your name or I've had a senior moment and forgotten it) who looked after us all before the procedure and who gave me the great news about "better than perfect" this morning - you have been just marvellous throughout. You must get bored saying the same things over and over again, but you manage to inject some warmth into that and I definitely needed that, being the scaredy-cat I am!

All in all, I can't tell you how pleased I am that I plucked up the courage and went through with this. I should have done it years ago! I never expected such amazing results not for a moment and I'm over the moon - you have all been such a blessing to me. Thank you so so much :-)

God bless you all and thanks again. See you next week!

Brendan Wong NSW

I had laser eye surgery approximately 3 years ago now, and have been extremely happy with the results. It was one of the best things I have and could ever do for myself in terms of health and well-being.

I was previously a wearer of disposable contact lenses for about 7 years prior to surgery, previously short-sighted with an approximate prescription of - 3.5. Though contacts are good, I can't believe I didn't get the surgery done earlier.

My vision after the surgery was considerably better than with contacts previously. My vision now is still perfect, and I have no troubles whatsoever. It was definitely worth the money, I would probably spend twice the money for the results I have received.

The surgery itself was very stress-free, and painless. The clinics and staff were amazing. My surgeon, Dr. Kerrie Meades, was noticeably very experienced, with very good patient care and concern. She told me everything up front about the surgery, and there were no surprises. The actual procedure only took about 25 minutes for both eyes, with little discomfort. I recommend trying to books an appointment in the afternoon, as I was able to go straight home, and pretty much, straight to bed for the day.

I woke in the morning and had great vision. I was amazed and visibly happy. My parents helped drive me to the surgery for my day-after check up. When I got there Dr. Meades checked my eyes, and I had better than 20/20 vision. I was able to drive myself home after the check up, and it's been great ever since, as if I never had poor vision. Care for my eyes post-surgery was very simple with maintenance of various eye-drops for a few weeks.

Now I can play all my sports with so much more ease. I lead a very active lifestyle playing indoor soccer, tennis, football, and squash on a regular basis, and it's so much better with perfect vision, and not having to worry about contact lenses. The greatest improvement has been for water-sports and going to the beach and surf. I can swim with perfect vision, something that was much more difficult and risky with contact lenses.

I thank Dr. Kerrie Meades and personalEYES again for changing my life for the best.
