Professor Andrew J Luff

I was recently and specifically referred by my optician to Prof. Luff to have treatment on my cataracts. Over recent years I have suffered from oedema in my retina which was now relatively stable and I wanted to receive the highest level of treatment so as to avoid any impact on my retina and a return to the sight problems that I had previously. I understood that there was potential for this to occur with normal cataract surgery. From the time of my first appointment through to my cataract procedures, Prof. Luff was extremely professional, approachable, supportive and totally dedicated to providing the best outcomes possible for my eyes. He advised me on the lenses most suited for my eyes, fully explained what was going to happen and the surgery was then conducted within a few days. The cataract procedures took only about 15 to 20 minutes, I was put at ease throughout and they were totally painless. I can now genuinely say that cataract surgery is not something to be frightened of and is totally painless. My resulting eyesight is extremely good and any potential impact on my retina was completely avoided. I can only give Prof. Luff the highest praise and recommendation. If anyone is concerned about having treatment on.their eyes, eyesight is so important that I would say don't leave it too late and Prof. Luff would be the first port of call that I would highly recommend.

My experience was AMAZING! I was really surprised that there was no pain during or after the procedure. I was also surprised that whilst I was being operated on, I wasn't able to see any apparatus and was kept amazingly calm. The only thing I wasn't really prepared for was the moving black bubble that shook like a 'spirit level'. Although I was told about this in advance, I really hadn't appreciated how disorientating this was going to be. I'm sure this experience is the same for all people undergoing this procedure.

Received expert advice as one would expect from such a highly experienced consultant

Professor was very friendly I felt at ease , he explained everything to me as to how the procedure would be done .I had no concerns about the operation.

I must repeat myself. The care was second to none and frankly amongst the best i have ever had and i am 74 years old. Professor Luff, who operated, was in the background but the results are quite amazing with what i can only describe as 'perfect eyesight', both close up and at a distance. Then there was a nurse called Joan who went out of her way to help my anxiety and reassure me with all my many concerns. In short, Joan was amazing.

Outstanding professional eye surgery from Professor Luff who has been there for me through thick and thin and gave me a better quality of life through his excellent skills of removing vitreous floaters, thank you for all the hard work and dedication in helping me you are such a kind and amazing person and i think very highly of you. Eternally grateful Joe Y.

As per previous responses

Professor Luff was extremely professional with explanations every step of the way. Natural concerns both before and after were handled in a very friendly and knowledgeable way giving me total confidence in him.

Surgery on eyes can obviously be frightening but the Professor clearly explained the procedures and potential benefits. My historical retinal detachment added to the initial concerns but the Professor was reassuring about this. The supporting documents provided made the risks clear. With the worsening of my vision the cataract surgery on both eyes was a clear benefit out weighing the risks. The result using Galaxy tri focal lenses is astounding! Notably night driving without halo effects that were evident with my previous contact lenses. With improved peripheral vision and 20-20 vision the Professor delivered a miracle.

Had full confidence in him.
