Hear from our satisfied patients
I had Cataract surgery, amazing, life changing. I have worn glasses for most of my life now glasses free. Friendly, professional and reassuring , can’t thank them enough.
I have attended the my-Iclinic for a number of years and always found them to be excellent. When I needed a cataract operation they were the obvious choice. The whole procedure went like clockwork and was completely painless. My eyesight is vastly improved. I would highly recommend the I clinic to anyone as the equipment they use is cutting edge and there is a continuity of care as you always see the same consultant. The staff are very friendly and approachable.
I saw Mr Bolger for cataract surgery with lens implants earlier this year. This is a word-of-mouth clinic, well worth the journey quite far into north London. The whole place feels 100% clinically led by its two consultants. Close attention to detail is in evidence everywhere, from reception right through to follow-up. No one relishes eye procedures, but this was a good experience, with clear and patient communication, plus excellent written information to take away. I was so glad to be there in purpose-built surroundings, under the care of an experienced surgeon and his own team, rather than in a rushed NHS setting, or in the typically more commercial atmosphere of Harley Street.
Look no further! I researched for over a year to find the best laser eye clinic for my complex astigmatic eyes to see if laser surgery would benefit me and this clinic is it! Great service from all the team, especially optician Bharvi and John himself. Lovely comfortable practice, super modern equipment with some incredible machines! The superb surgeon John Bolger has been practicing for decades, is top of his field and lectures all over the world. To top it all off there is tea and coffee on tap! There are chepaer surgeons out there but these are your eyes so you want the best! And its worth it!
I have had double cataract removal and my vision was adjusted. I cannot praise My-iclinic highly enough. It was a stress free experience from pre-op to surgery then post-op. I felt extremely reassured and was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner with much care and attention. I can see without glasses for the first time in 30 years, and everything is so clear and bright. Many thanks to Bola Odufuwa-Bolger who performed the surgery.
I had the SMILE procedure in July - it’s now September and my vision is perfect. The procedure was painless and I recovered quickly (I could see clearly after a few hours and completely the day following the procedure). John Bolger was thoughtful, honest and professional. Even though the clinic is quite out of the way for me, I’m glad I made the effort to travel for the level of care.
I had cataracts removed in both eyes and was very pleased with how the operation went and the results. I can see! The operation itself was painless and there was only a day or so of mild discomfort afterwards. The initial consultation, operation and follow-up appointment were all efficiently run and consultant Ms Bola Odufuwa-Bolger and team were friendly, helpful and informative, putting me at ease at all times. I would recommend My-iClinic to anyone considering cataract surgery.
Can’t recommend enough! Every single member of staff has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable! Very clean and welcoming too.
Great surgery, excellent team, deep knowledge of eye business - no wonder Dr.Bolger was chosen by Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth. He literally gave me ability to read again glasses free, although other clinics couldn’t do it
Some years ago I chose My-iClinic to have a double Cataract operation which has changed my life considerably. I now have almost perfect vision without needing glasses or lenses. From the initial consultation right through to post-op, I couldn't have been cared for any better. Mr Bulger has created an excellent team. Recently, I revisited the clinic for my annual examination which revealed that one of my eyes had become a little lazy. I met with the very thorough Fatima, the resident Optometrist & Orthoptist who quite simply put my eyes in the gym with a series of exercises to be completed at home I am happy to report that after 3 weeks I am beginning to notice improvement. Without hesitation, I would unreservedly recommend My-iClinic.
It has been a few months since I had Presbyond eye surgery at My-iClinic, and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I no longer need glasses and can see the world with my own eyes, which has given me an incredible sense of freedom—something I didn't fully appreciate until after the surgery. Mr. Bolger, the surgeon, clearly and calmly explained every aspect of the process, from the results of the various tests to what would happen on the day of the operation. This put my mind at ease and made me feel confident in my decision. The operation went very smoothly thanks to Mr. Bolger's expertise. I'm glad I was operated on by one of the top eye surgeons in the country. The staff were also professional and kind throughout my visits. This summer, I took my daughter to a planetarium, and it was just incredible to experience it without glasses. I highly recommend My-iClinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery.

Lazy Eyes Frequently asked questions
Have a question? We are here to help.
What is a lazy eye?
A lazy eye (formally called ‘amblyopia’) is a condition where the vision in one eye does not develop properly, caused by an imbalance of the muscles that correctly position both eyes. A lazy eye appears to turn inwards or outwards, causing reduced and blurry vision.
What causes a lazy eye in adults (amblyopia)?
If an adult develops a lazy eye without a diagnosis as a child it can be due to head trauma or an eye condition that affects this vision in one eye. Though very rare, some medical conditions like thyroid problems, diabetes or myasthenia gravis may cause a lazy eye in adulthood.
What causes a lazy eye in children?
A lazy eye in children occurs when the muscles of an eye are undeveloped, causing an imbalance between the two eyes.
How does a lazy eye appear in children?
A lazy eye appears as a misalignment of the eyes. You will notice if your child has a lazy eye if one of the eyes turns inward or outward from where the eye should situate. A lazy eye causes poor depth perception, reading difficulties and decreased vision. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, we can check their eyes and diagnose their condition for a treatment referral. Please contact 0208 445 8877
At what age is lazy eye normally diagnosed?
A lazy eye can be visible and noticed from birth, but the development of a lazy eye may occur until ten years old. A lazy eye can be diagnosed during this time, and treatment is more effective when the child is younger.
How do you get tested for a lazy eye?
It is always best to visit your local opticians to get a routine eye check. Our ophthalmologist will be able to diagnose a lazy eye and monitor its condition with our clinic facilities. We understand the visual difficulties your child may be experiencing, which is why our ophthalmologist will refer you for treatment.
What is a lazy eye patch for children?
We provide eye patches to help assist children who suffer from the visual complications with their lazy eye (amblyopia). Our ophthalmologist uses the eye patch as occlusion therapy which strengthens the connection between the neurological brain signals and the eye’s vision.
Can a lazy eye get worse?
A lazy eye (amblyopia) can get worse over time if the condition is left untreated. Amblyopia can worsen by reducing your peripheral vision, depth of perception and 3D vision, causing temporary and/or permanent vision loss in the future.
Can my child develop a lazy eye in both eyes?
It is very uncommon to develop a lazy eye in both eyes.
Does a lazy eye get worse with age?
For children who have strabismus, early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the condition from getting worse. A lazy eye can get worse in adulthood if left untreated.
Is a lazy eye (amblyopia) genetic?
A lazy eye can be caused by genetic or environmental causes. Other lazy eye conditions may develop later in life due to suffering head trauma and/or another eye condition that may onset the development of a lazy eye.
Can lazy eyes be treated?
Can you outgrow a lazy eye/ strabismus (amblyopia)?
You cannot outgrow a lazy eye, but treatment is available to help prevent vision loss and surgery to correct the shape of the strabismus. We can provide treatment planning to help improve the quality of your vision, which is being affected by your lazy eye. If you are seeking a diagnosis and comprehensive check-up on the condition of your vision from a lazy eye, we can book you in for an all-inclusive private consultation with our lazy eye specialist.
