So glad I had my cataracts done, I've been more nervous at the dentist than I was having them replaced. Made to feel fully informed at initial consultation and looked after very well at Spire Yale. My Ngyuen was very professional and easy to talk to and he was so quick with the procedures . I felt no pain and he explained what he was doing during the procedures. Right eye done first, great aftercare by the nurses. Have not worn my glasses since! Colours are so much brighter. Left eye done last week, again very quick and painless. It only takes 15 minutes!! I was looked after very well before and after the ops. Special shout out to Martina, Carolyn, Cerri, James and Hannah.Honestly if you are wavering about having them done, don't, you'll be very pleasantly surprised Less

I have suffered quite extreme myopia (short sight) all of my life and been wearing thick glasses since the age of Seven, and later contact lenses for sixty years. I developed cataract about six years ago and after a referral for NHS surgery I was put on a waiting list for two years. Long story short my lack of clear sight was ruining my life and causing my mental health to deteriorate. I could not indulge my passion for motorcycling anymore and didn’t enjoy going anywhere with my family any longer. Hence cashing in a pension and going private with Mr Dan Nguyen. I had the surgery on both eyes at the same time over three weeks ago and my sight is clearer and brighter than I have ever known and I no longer appear to need glasses. (Although I may need a little help reading at night).I cannot thank Dan and his team enough for what they have done for me. I was treated better than I have ever been treated in similar health provision. The operation was very quick and painless, my recovery has been very quick. Dan Nguyen is very approachable and professional making sure all my questions were addressed being realistic about my particular risks and reassuring at the same time. My life is so much better now I can see clearly again. The best expenditure I have ever made . Thank you so very much Dan and the Spire Yale health team Less

Procedure was painless and only took 10mins per eye.Recovery was exactly what Dann said it would be, nothing to worry about, Dan covered everything has he said, vision improves instantly.Absolutely nothing to be concerned with trust what he tells you! Less

I have recently had cataract surgery on both of my eyes with Mr Nguyen. I did a lot of research prior to this procedure and it was evident that Mr Nguyen was very well respected. During the initial appointment he was supportive, caring and answered all of my questions clearly. I was very nervous but he soon put me at ease. The procedures themselves were so quick! I have to say the results are nothing short of amazing. I no longer need spectacles for reading or distance which has changed my life. Mr Nguyen has a wonderful manner. Thank you so much. Less

My eyesight is so much better now, I’m really thrilled.I chose both eyes to be cleared of cataracts at the same time. It was a relief there are no injections in the eye before the operation, drops are used. The staff were helpful. The procedure didn’t take long and has been a complete success with no need for a follow up appointment, however the first day I wanted to sit in a darkened room and I was glad to have help with the eye drops. I am very grateful. Less

Mr Nguyen has recently performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes.From the initial consultations to the final post op meeting this morning, he has been absolutely fantastic.His profesional, friendly & calm manner completely put me at ease when I was clearly very nervous. Both surgeries went extremely well and my vision is amazing.I can’t recommend him highly enough. Less

Had cataract surgery and myopia corrected in both eyes, two weeks apart. I was quite nervous beforehand, however surgery on each occasion took around 10mins, was painless and gave immediate benefits. After several weeks have had no post-op issues; sight is excellent both for long and reading distances. Dan is friendly and reassuring, and my experience is clear evidence of his skills as a surgeon. Less

I was referred to Mr Nguyen by my optician to have cataract surgery in both eyes. Mr Nguyen put me at my ease during our consultation when he explained everything to me. I was obviously anxious about the surgery but both procedures were carried out painlessly and quickly. I had no after-effects and I noticed an immediate improvement in my vision. Less

I had only recently been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes, and as far as I had been aware, there was nothing wrong with my vision that normal glasses couldn't correct. Latterly I had been disappointed that my new glasses hadn't fully corrected my long vision, and it was then that the cataracts were spotted by my optician. I was quickly assessed by Dr Nguyen, and he clearly explained my options. I was keen to be able to see both distance and close up and was recommended the Galaxy lenses, I had my right eye done in December and my left eye in January. It is now February and I've been for my last post procedure visit to Dr Nguyen. The tests confirmed what I have known, and that is I'm really happy with the results. I have 20-20 distance vision in both eyes, and I can read the smallest print close up. I think there is still some improvements to come as my brain continues to adjust. The only issue I have relates to some glare and halo effects on some of the very bright lights on cars etc. However I do think that effect is continuing to reduce, and it's a very small part of my life.Before the procedure I was worrying about the what if's and the things that could go wrong. Might I end up blind etc? Dr Nguyen took the time to phone me and put my mind at ease.I'm sure most of us a squeamish about our eyes, and things touching them. However the procedure was completely painless both times. The only surprise for me was the intensity of the light during the procedure. I soon got used to that though. In all it was about 15 minutes.The team at Spire in Abergele was excellent. Jonathan was very knowledgeable, and has put together good guidance for taking the various eye drops over the subsequent three weeks. I didn't need to call them at all, but they are always available to help answer any concerns anyone may have.Dr Nguyen is excellent, and I'd recommend him to anyone. The lenses he inserted are incredible. The team at Spire in Abergele are spot on. All in all, I'd say to anyone who is nervous, go ahead, you'll be in great hands. Less

Now I have my eye sight back I can't thank Mr Nguyen & his staff enough for the wonderful treatment I received. Everything was fantastic throughout the procedure & now I can get on with my live, can't recommend them enough. . Less

I am absolutely delighted with the result of my cataract surgery at Spire Abergele. After many years of poor sight everything is clear and bright. Many thanks to Mr Nguyen and his team for their skill and care throughout the process. Less

A first class service.Mr Dan Nguyen was professional,friendly, approachable and when I needed a second op urgently he got me in.He was honest about possible risks ,reassured me regarding any concerns I had and I would highly recommend him to remove your Cataracts . Less

From my optician"s referral to my after surgery check up I could not have been more satisfied. In my opinion Daniel Nguyen is an excellent opthalmic consultant and I couldn't have been in better hands. He put me at ease at my initial consultation and explained what would happen going forward. Mr Nguyen met with me on the day of my surgery and explained what was going to happen and answered my questions. I was made comfortable by the nursing staff at all stages and a nurse held my hand during the surgery. The surgery itself went smoothly and was painless. The aftercare immediately following the surgery was excellent and the eye drops to be used and the do's and don't 's for the next couple of weeks were explained clearly. I attended my final consultation 18 days after my surgery and am so happy that the surgery was successful and that my vision has greatly improved Less

I recently had cataract surgery under the care of Mr Dan Nguyen , from start to finish the care and expertise I received was excellent and I am so overwhelmed by the results . I would totally recommend him . Less

The mist has cleared! My eyesight has never been better thanks to Dan Nguyen and his team. After my two cataract operations the world is now a brighter, clearer place. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dan Nguyen to anyone, he has simply transformed my life. Less

I was referred to Dan after a bad experience with the NHS. At first meeting Dan was sympathetic and understanding of my concerns with the whole Cataract procedure. He certainly put my mind at rest. On the day of the first procedure, once again, Dan was reassuring. Both procedures went well and my sight has been restored. If anyone needs a similar procedure I cannot recommend Dan highly enough. He is kind and thoughtful as well as excelling in his field. Top marks !! Less

I have been wearing glasses for over 40 years, latterly varifocal and occasionally contact lenses eg for skiing. My Optician told me I needed cataract surgery, and put me in touch with Mr Nguyen. An excellent choice! There was an informative consultation and we discussed what I wanted ie good general vision and better vision for reduced glare in nighttime driving. There were consecutive procedures on each eye and the result was amazing! I can now drive, swim, watch TV, use my mobile phone and will be able to ski without glasses or contact lenses - a bit of a life changer! I was impressed with Mr (Dan) Nguyen on a personal level - informative, professional whilst very approachable. I'm more than happy with the process and the end result. Less

Dr Nguyen was excellent in every aspect of my procedure, from our first consultation, explaining what was necessary for my slightly unusual eye condition to the surgery itself and the follow up appointment. I now have excellent eyesight and can highly recommend him and his staff. Less

I had a cataracts operation carried out by Mr Dan Nguyen with excellent results. His skill and expertise together with pleasant and efficient staff was very reassuring. Altogether an agreeable experience. Less

You can't possibly ask for a better service. Mr. Nguyen is an excellent specialist and gives his patients his total attention. He explains everything very carefully and gives his patients the choice of which lens is best for them. A lovely follow-up letter also which certainly means a lot. Less

The Spire Wrexham is a brilliant hospital.Mr. Dan Nguyen has changed my life by bringing back my sight by removing a traumatic cataract and replacing the optical lens after a very nasty head and facial injury last November. Apart from being a first class surgeon he is a very pleasant and informative man and makes you feel very at ease . Thank you to the Spire and all the staff there and in particular a massive thank you to Dan Nguyen 😊👍 Less

Very professional from start to finish so pleased i went ahead and got this done Mr Nguyen was great explained everything in detail and make the whole experience easy would recommend to anyone thinking of this surgery to go ahead and book with him Less

I have recently had two cataract surgeries and the difference to my eyesight is like going from night to day! I still wear glasses, through choice, but only need them for reading and close work.The procedure took no more than 15 minutes from entering the room to leaving it. It was painless and efficient. I was a VERY nervous patient the first time but couldn’t wait to book my second procedure after experiencing the results.Mr Nguyen was very professional and was understanding of my initial fears and I would highly recommend Dan Nguyen for cataract surgery. Less

It is two months since I had my bilateral eye operation which involved cataract removal and lense replacement. I have complete admiration and respect for the skills of Mr Nguyen and his team in transforming my vision. I cannot overestimate the difference it has made to my life - it feels as though the lights have been switched on! I was very short sighted, having worn glasses and/or contact lenses for almost 50 years. Now, to wake up in the morning and see everything clearly without having to reach for my specs, is amazing! It is like seeing the world in high definition colour. I was able to read and use the computer the day after surgery and was driving three days later - all without wearing glasses.Any anxiety at the prospect of an operation on both eyes at the same time, was soon dispelled through the reassurance of Mr Nguyen and his team, who put me at ease straight away. My trust in their professionalism was not misplaced. In just under 30 minutes the procedure was complete, followed by a month of using eye drops, accompanied by a new found confidence in being able to see a whole new world.I cannot thank Mr Nguyen enough, and given my positive experience, would recommend this life changing surgery to others. Less

Consulted with Dan who diagnosed a severe Cataract in my right eye which had made my vision deteriorate rapidly over a three month period, As an ex RAF Pilot, and long term Petrolhead I had been used to perfect near and far vision, never needing prescription spectacles until the onset of the Cataract. I readily agreed to place my faith in Dans expertise having read his experience, qualifications, and having met him. The operation was swift, pain free, and immediately my vision was restored rather than the predicted two day wait. Dan is a truly gifted Surgeon of the highest professional calibre, dedicated and caring. I have no hesitation in reccommending his services. Less

My experience with Mr Nguyen was quite remarkable. My vision is now 100,000% better than it was before my surgery. Crystal clear in both eyes and razor sharp at a set distance within a certain range. Dan has transformed my life and I will never forget what he has done for me. A thoroughly nice person and utterly professional in everything he does. I could not recommend him enough and I am so grateful to him for the gift he has given me. A wonderful transformation. Less

I have just had cataract surgery on both eyes during the same appointment.I was so glad I had this done.Anyone of a nervous disposition need not worry. Mr Nguyen puts you so much at your ease from the first appointment right through to the end of the process.The operation was completed quickly with no discomfort and everything was explained during the procedure.What can I say about Mr Nguyen? he is very kind, reassuring and makes you feel so relaxed.My much improved vision has made me feel like a new person and I no longer need glasses, just for reading.Thank you so much Mr Nguyen I am so grateful.Can I also thank Jessica, Mr Nguyen's secretary for all her help throughout the process.2/03/2024 Less

Due to cataracts decided to have new lenses. I was recommended by the optician to use Dan Nguyen and I was so pleased that I made an appointment. After a detailed consultation he suggested I have both eyes done at the same time. I was so glad I decided to take this way, rather than having an imbalance for a few weeks.Mr Nguyen and his team were superb. He explained everything prior to and during the operation. He puts you at ease, with his professionalism and his warm manner.For my operation went to theatre at 9.05 and back in room at 9.35...both eyes done. No pain or discomfort at all and post operation treatment just eye drops.After 60 years of glasses , I only need 1.5 reading glasses for the small print. The clarity of my vision is amazing. Colours are so different.If you are considering replacement lenses, I can tell you Mr Nguyen will take very good care of you. Less

Cannot fault the care and expertise. I have had two cataract operations and my vision is back to virtually normal - absolutely amazing. Mr Nguyen is so easy to be with - excellent service thank you. Less

It was a positive experience and I am very pleased with the outcome.Mr Nguyen made me feel at eased and he explained the procedure and answered all my questions.I would also like to say that everyone I dealt with at the Clinic was very helpful I would also like to mention Mr Nguyen private secretary she was very helpful.patrick smith.

Excellent - from the initial video consultation through to the surgery Dan was consistently brilliant. He explained the different options to me very clearly and was happy to answer all of my questions. I had some initial nervousness around the prospect of eye surgery, but Dan really helped put me at ease. He combines a very high level of professionalism and expertise with being a really nice guy. After having my first eye done I had no hesitation in going back for the second. I'm very pleased with the quality of my vision and would absolutely recommend Dan Nguyen. Less

From the initial video consultation where everything is explained, to the in-person assement, right through to the actual surgery and follow up care, i really cannot recommend Dan Nguyen enough. Such a friendly and reassuring guy who takes the time to answer any and all queries you might have. Procedure was very simple and the whole team around him are fantastic, including Jessica his Personal Secretary who makes sure you know whats happening and provides reminder sms messages the day before too.Now about a month after surgery and doing fine. The difference in my eyesight is truly amazing, even on the same day of the surgery it was massively improved.I am sure that there are other surgeons out there offering similar work that Dan does. But I from personal experience can tell you now, don’t keep looking round. Have the free video consultation with Dan and you are in very safe hands right from that moment.LASTLY, ONCE AGAIN, A HUGE THANK YOU TO DAN FOR THE FANTASTIC CARE, PROFESSIONALISM AND FOR MAKING THE WHOLE PROCESS SO SIMPLE AND CAREFREE!

My dad says his “new eyes” have changed his life! He’s so happy now he can see properly again, thanks to your fantastic team. He couldn’t recommend you highly enough Less

First class treatment from start to finish all staff are very efficient and polite. The procedure was straight forward quick, and painless. Both eyes were operated on the same day and took less than 1 hour. I found Mr Nguyen to be very professional and competent and efficient. Three weeks on my vision is 20/20 and depth of vision and colour perception is remarkable and an added bonus No Glasses. Less

I had clear lens extraction 3 weeks ago I am over the moon with what I can see now , this experience has changed every thing for me , can't wait to get my other eye done !! Thankyou Dan ! ... Less

I am incredibly pleased I was referred to Dan for my cataract surgery. He was very personable and very professional at all times. He explained everything in detail and in a way that was easy to understand. The surgery was quick and painless and I have had no side effects during the healing process at all. I now have fantastic vision and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Dan if you need eye surgery. Less

Truly excellent. My wife is very happy with Cataract surgeries on both eyesMr Nguyen is a top class consultant and very kind and reassuring. Highly recommend him and his support team Less

Dan Nguyen and his team are very skillful, efficent and friendly. Both my wife and I are over the moon with the wonderful job the team acheived with our eyes. On behalf of my wife, June, and myself, we would like to thank each and every one of you super people, for giving us the ability to see clearly once more. Than you, Dan, thank you team, you've made two old cronies very happy. Regards, Bill Williams. Less

I was really surprised to find I had cataracts, had assumed I needed glasses and because I didn't want that initially, I tried contact lenses, but my prescription was difficult due to an astigmatism. So a final eye test finally confirmed what was happening and the reason I could barely see the golf ball or targets beyond 100yds. Not to mention the glare when driving at night. So when I was told I had cataracts but it was resolvable with surgery I was made up. The procedure, pre-op and post-care was fantastic. Thankyou Less

I had a couple of chats with Dan before my consultation, once over the phone and once via zoom befire having natural lense replacementto both eyes. He was always available to answers any questions I had for him. This was so reassuring and made me feel that he wasn't just here to carry out the procedure, but would fully support and reassure me throughout the process. On the day of the operation, he again came and chatted to me to offer his reassurance and take me through what would happen whilst in theatre. I would have nonhesitation in recommending Dan and his team and I can honestly say, this has changed my life. My vision is so clear andcfresh, I wish I had done this years ago!!! Less

I’m delighted with the improvement in my vision after my cataract surgery. The world is a much brighter and more colourful place. Thank you Mr Nguyen for your expert advice and care. Less

Hi Both my eyes are really great! It took a little while to adjust however really good and I feel now settled well Thank you so much I would recommend coming to you to anyone that needs this procedure Thanks again Less

Due to my high prescription, I found that my glasses and/or contact lenses just were seemingly just not ideal for me any more. Also, with having the first signs of cataracts developing too, I decided to take my optician's recommendation to have a chat with Mr Nguyen. Mr Nguyen is a very likeable man who chatted with me about my ideas of what I hoped for after lens replacement surgery. Of course, I had apprehensions about this decision, but Mr Nguyen listened to me and we discussed what would be the likely outcome of the surgery. He certainly put my mind at ease. I opted for lenses which would give me the best distance vision, and was happy to accept that I'd still need reading glasses for close up work. This was my personal choice. The procedure was as explained, and Mr Nguyen talked me through the operation as it was happening which I found reassuring and helpful. There was no pain or even discomfort during the procedure for me and any worries I had about the operation were certainly not warranted. I had both of my eyes done on the same day, and had to wear clear eye-shields until the next morning, and then only at bedtime for a week. Eyedrops were given to me to use (along with a concise sheet of paper indicating the times of day to use them). I have worn contact lenses for 50 years and to finally see as well as with them, but without them, was really fantastic. Mr Nguyen is a man who I can recommend so very highly and I'm so happy, not only in choosing Mr Nguyen for the procedure, but also with the results too! Everything was first class from start to finish and if you're thinking of having eye surgery, then my experience with him is the reason I can recommend that you talk to him too! Less

Consultation available quickly. Laser treatment provided at the same time for one eye and need for cataract operation identified for the other eye. Cataract operation was quickly arranged. Procedure on the day was quick, totally painless and I was well looked after and supported throughout. Following the operation I had no pain, no grittiness in my eye and my sight improved dramatically and very quickly. Follow up consultation was good with both eyes checked and tested and advice provided on activity, optician's appointment and future expectations. Dan was totally professional throughout with lots of advice and thorough explanations. I totally recommend him to anyone considering cataract or laser surgery. Less

I had clear lens extraction operation 2 weeks ago at the Spire Hospital Wrexham. Dan Nguyen was the surgeon and from the very first consultation with him I felt totally at ease. The operation lasted 20mins approx and I never felt a thing.I had this operation done to improve my reading sight and I have to say that I am overjoyed with the Result. Reading Glasses free for the first time in over ten years. So Happy now , its like a new lease of life. I can't thank Dan Nguyen and his staff enough. Less

I had cataracts which were causing poor vision and my optical prescription to change rapidly, so I contacted Dan Nguyen for help.After an initial (free, no obligation) Zoom consultation, I went to meet him at the Spire Yale.At all times Mr. Nguyen was pleasant, friendly and professional – I was very at ease with him.My eyes were thoroughly examined, and then we discussed treatment options for lens replacement.Mr. Nguyen explained the pros and cons of the various lens types available, and we agreed on what we both felt was the best option for me to be as glasses independent as possible.Finally, he explained the surgical procedure, the risks involved, and gave me an honest indication of the results we’d be most likely to achieve.The treatment costs were very competitive and well worth the money.I was very nervous before the first procedure, but needn’t have worried - both operations were quick, with no pain and negligible discomfort. The staff at the Yale were lovely.Recovery was quick, and the results have been amazing – I have better than 20/20 vision for a good range, so I am mostly glasses independent. If anything the outcome was better than predicted!I will probably get some readers to help with fine print close up, but my vision is fine unaided in almost all circumstances.Dan Nguyen is a magician!!

I had my final check up today after having the two cataract procedures six weeks apart. The results were amazing, and I am really pleased with the outcome. I can see colours so much better and reading is far clearer.Mr. Nguyen explained everything every step of the way and he really made you feel at ease with his caring attitude, even though I was a little nervous at first.I have no hesitation in recommending the cataract procedure under Mr. Nguyen, as you will receive the best care and attention possible.Anita Oldfield Less

HI, the first thing I have to say is wow, the colour and clarity is unbelieveable and didn't realise how bad my good eye is. The consultation was prompt and everybody at The Spire .Wrexham were pleasant, helpfull and all had a friendly smile. Being in Dan's company is a pleasure and reassuring. The actual operation was done efficiently and painless. The process for pre and post operative treatment was well explained. Thanks Dan. Looking foward to do the other eye !!! Less

The skills, care and attention provided by Dan Nguyen and his team at my recent cataract operation has resulted in an amazing improvement in my vision.The procedure only lasted about 15 mins with the minimum of discomfort. Less

I cannot recommend highly enough the Consultant Ophthalmologist Dan Nguyen. He has been monitoring my eyes for several years due to raised pressures and developing cataracts. His manner is impeccable, extremely professional but also welcoming and approachable. Recently the thickness of my cataracts was threatening an increase in eye pressures and removal of the cataracts was recommended.Both my cataracts have now been replaced by implant lenses with excellent results. His care has been meticulous. The pre-operative discussion was thorough and the possible choice and combination of lenses well explained. I chose different strengths for each lens and now have fantastic vision in both eyes, am able to read everything (including music) and drive without glasses and the threat of raised pressures has receded. Amazing! Less

I had surgery to remove cataracts on both eyes, involving removing the old lenses and replacing them. I was nervous and accepted the tablets offered to help me relax, but I need not have worried. The operation was painless and didn't even cause any discomfort. I have needed glasses or contact lenses since I was 10, with my eyesight getting progressively worse. When I saw Mr Nguyen for the follow-up consultation, I was given an eye test and told that I now had better than 20:20 vision. It was like a miracle. For a while afterwards I kept thinking, 'It's time to take my contact lenses out,' before realising that I no longer needed either lenses or glasses, except for a pair of cheap over-the-counter glasses to make reading small print a little more comfortable. Each time that I saw Mr Nguyen - for the operation and for the consultations before and afterwards - he was unfailingly friendly and cheerful. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Less

My ophthalmic surgery was at the Nuffield Hospital Chester - Mr Nguyen replaced the lenses in both of my eyes and the procedures were short in duration, painless and highly effective. I now have no requirement for glasses for distance vision or for reading newsprint. Less

I first went to see Mr Nguyen with a fairly advanced cataract in my right eye. I immediately felt I was in very good hands. He explained the whole process and talked through my options. He was very patient and answered all my questions, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. I decided to go for a multi focal lens with the hope that it would reduce my need for glasses. I had reading glasses and distance glasses so also needed sunglasses in both. The result of that first procedure was so amazing. I found I only needed to use reading glasses for the computer at work. I was so pleased I decided to have lens replacement in my left eye. Wow!!!! I now have 20:20 vision and don’t need glasses at all. Thank you so much Mr Nguyen. You have changed my life. I would highly recommend you. Less

I had cataract surgery (both eyes) performed by Mr Nguyen at the HCA hospital in Wilmslow. I cannot speak highly enough about it. The professionalism of him and his entire team the process, who made me feel relaxed and reassured throughout. He explained the process and options to me very clearly, what to expect, the recovery and the potential outcomes. And the outcome did not disappoint. The clarity of vision is incredible. I cannot recommend the service highly enough. Less

Getting my cataracts removed by Dan has been life changing, particularly as I love to draw, paint and read. If it wasn't for my astigmatism I wouldn't need new glasses at all.The procedure is quick and the theatre team lovely. A tiny bit of discomfort but it's all over in no time at all.I would highly recommend you get yours done, the results and amazing! Less

Having lens replacement surgery was best decision I have made. It has transformed my vision and no longer need contact lenses nor glasses and have almost perfect vision.I can highly recommend Mr Dan Nguyen and , being a doctor myself, I researched very carefully beforehand.He is extremely professional , very approachable and very competent.I was very anxious about the procedure and he was so reassuring and understanding and inspired great confidence.If you thinking about this procedure then I really recommend you see Mr Nguyen.

My experience of cataract surgery was second to none totally pain free .i was made to feel completely relaxed and confident.the result is wonderful,a gradual improvement over 3 to 4 days Less

When I first met Dan Nguyen he made me feel completely at ease and explained the cataract op.procedure and what he was aiming for. During both ops.I was made to feel at ease and a nurse held my hand throughout.I was driving again after 3 days and the difference in my sight was amazing.I have already recommended Dan Nguyen to one of my neighbours and she has already had her pre-op. Less

A combination of being very short-sighted from an early age, and being told I was at high risk of suffering a retinal detachment, meant I was (and remain) incredibly sensitive about anything to do with my eyes...It's fair to say, as a result, that I approached cataract surgery with more than a little trepidation, and outright fear may be a closer description,However, my opthalmologist recommended Mr Nguyen as the only surgeon he'd recommend, and so along I went.I am and remain amazed and grateful....Mr Nguyen is clearly at the top of his game, and he and his colleagues are comsummate professionals. Despite my fear, I was strongly supported and put at much as ease as my fear would allow, the procedure was painless and the outcome incredible...If you're considering asking for Mr Nguyen's help, I cannot recommend more highly (and I only rarely write reviews). Less

Best medically informed decision I’ve made! I had two eye cataract surgeries within a short period of time and so pleased that I was able to chose the multi focal lenses. No more glasses and clarity of vision both near and far - apart from the halo effect with strong light, but more than bearable. Dan Nguyen and his team were professional, skilful and supportive and, within a short period of time transformed my sight. Greatly appreciated! Less

Had a fantastic experience. I was struggling before, eye strain, unable to enjoy reading and the cost of glasses. I now have 20-20 vision. Really pleased Less

Without hesitation I would absolutely recommend Mr Nguyen and this procedure!! The best thing I could have done for my eyesight and an investment for my quality of life! I can’t quite believe the difference!! Mr Nguyen listened to my aspirations for my sight and tailored the lens (Rayner 1 EMV) to this need. I can’t quite believe I don’t need reading glasses anymore and can read even the small print! I feel more confident driving at night and my phone screen suddenly seemed clear and glossy!!He is incredibly patient, personable, professional and does not push you towards getting anything done! My eyesight is so good we agreed I could leave getting my second eye done until I felt my vision was more compromised.An optometrist told me he would send his mother to Mr Nguyen and I understand why! I have 1000% confidence in this gentleman and will definitely be returning to him when I need the left eye lens replacement. Thank you for everything!! Less

I am writing on behalf of the wife who had the cataract surgery with Dr Dan, we are so pleased with the help we received from Dr Dan he was professional and put us both at our ease from the minute we walked into our consultation.On the day of surgery he explained everything thoroughly and completed both eyes within an hour, within two hours she could see colours and detail on the birds in our garden clearly for the first time in years. The following morning she was amazed at the results so much so she could see the cobwebs!Her recovery was nothing short of miraculous, getting her not too lift, bend ect was the main problem!!We had our follow up appointment last Friday (5 weeks since her op) and we couldn't thank Dr Dan enough, her vision is better than 20/20 and now she can get on with all the jobs she wrote on her list whilst unable - think I'm going to be a busy boy!Please anyone needing this surgery go and see Dr Dan, he is so personable, explains everything so clearly and his whole persona will put you at ease we can not thank him enough, yes it costs but it was worth every penny to see the wife back to being so happy.Thanks again Dr Dan Less

I have worn glasses since I was 8 years old and was highly myopic. Mr Nguyen explained clearly my options, what surgery involved and final outcomes. The theatre and support staff were reassuring and made me feel at ease. Mr Nguyen talked to me whilst he operated and I found the whole procedure fairly calming. Mr Nguyen gave me confidence in my decision and it was lovely to see a professional take pride in his work. I now only wear glasses for reading, it's quite life changing and I wish I'd done it years ago when my cataracts were first detected. Less

I have needed glasses/contact lenses for 50 years and have found them an inconvenience in my outdoor life. Within a period of 2 months I now have 20/20 vision and do not require glasses or contact lenses for anything! Such a dramatic life changing operation to have my cataracts removed with the bonus of perfect vision for long and short sightedness. I am delighted. Many thanks for the kind, considerate, and professional expertise of Mr Nguyen and his team. Less

Many thanks to all. Less

At my first consultation Mr Nguyen examined my eyes, explained the options available and patiently encouraged me to ask questions. I could barely string a sentence together the thought of cataract surgery terrified me.My vision had been poor since childhood, I had stopped driving at night and knew I needed help. I relied on varifocal glasses and contact lenses, one for distance and the other for intermediate vision, which I was comfortable using, so I chose the option of bilateral cataract surgery with enhanced lens implants with a degree of monovision. The difference it has made is amazing even on the first surgery day I could see the sport on TV and my worst eye had become my best.Mr Nguyen is professional, calm, patient and reassuring and was happy to discuss my concerns before surgery and in the period before the final check-up. Eye drops were used to numb the eye, there was no pain, sensation or pressure at all during surgery. Mr Nguyen talked me through each stage of surgery which was completed in around 20 minutes. The only discomfort I felt was when the anaesthetic wore off the 2nd eye, this was eased by using the eye drops and was back to normal the next day.Surgery on both eyes and final check-up were done within 8 weeks. I can clearly see the bottom line of the test chart and all but the smallest paragraph of the reading test card. I never imagined the results could be this amazing, I am so grateful to Mr Nguyen and the Spire team and will not hesitate to use their services if needed in the future. Less

I had a dense cataract in my right eye and a smaller cataract in my left eye and the thought of having eye surgery did give some concerns but I only have praise for Mr Nguyen, From the initial consultation he showed true professionalism and was happy to answer any questions I had. The cataract surgery is painless and restored vision in my right eye the same day which was truly amazing and the follow up review results showed the surgery has restored 20;20 vision in that eye. I have now had the cataract operation on my left eye which has once again fully restored vision in that eye.. If like me the thought of cataract eye surgery does give you concerns I can without hesitation recommend contacting Mr Nguyen. Less

Incredible! No more glasses for me!I did a lot of research into getting lens replacement and so glad that I went ahead.I used to have wonderful eyesight but with age, I had to rely glasses. I have gone from the frustration of glasses for this, and different strength for that to... none!I can read easily (even small print on food packets etc.), watch TV and even threaded a needle with no glasses at all!This has been life changing and the team at The Spire were brilliant too.Thank you.

Have had cataracts removed from both eyes since November . I found the whole procedure quite painless .The staff were very informative at each stage . Mr Nguyen was excellent and professional throughout . Less

I can highly recommend Mr Nguyen , having just had a bilateral cateract surgery procedure . He is patient, knowledgeable, listens to what you wish to achieve through surgery, while pointing out any potential problems given the condition of your eyes. I have faith in in his advice and expertise. Once again I would highly recommend Mr Nguyen to anyone. I regard my whole experience a success. Less

Having been apprehensive about having to have cataract surgery, wondering what the outcome would be like, I needn’t have been at all concerned. With the help and guidance from Mr Nguyen, I had a multi-focal lens fitted in one eye and an accommodating lens fitted in the other, the result being 20 20 vision without the need to wear glasses at all.The procedure itself was completely painless and was over in a relatively few short minutes. Mr Nguyen explained the whole process very clearly in a very professional but personal manner, and was re-assuring throughout. His team of colleagues, from the start to finish, were also very supportive, sympathetic and re-assuring.For anyone with any fears or worries about having the surgery, I can only say that after contacting Mr Nguyen, there will be no need for concern or hesitation, but instead a positive anticipation of what could be a life changing experience.John Less

Had two cataract removals for both of my eyes. Fabulous service from start to finish, Dan the consultant went through everything involved with the surgery and carried out the surgery with precision and talked through every stage of the procedure. Keeps you in the picture and makes you feel a part of everything which is very important to making you feel valued. Would highly recommend this practice and consultant. Less

My experience with Mr. Dan Nguyen was very satisfactory all round. A very likeable personality with a good sense of humour. He will put you at ease and is willing to explain the whole procedure in detail. This is my second cataract procedure carried out by him. It was quick and pain free and I would highly recommend him.Norman Rowland, Wrexham Less

My 88 year old mother who has moderate to advance stage dementia had cataracts removed in both eyes recently by Dr Dan Nguyen. From the initial consultation through to the surgery and aftercare the support and advice received directly from Dr Nguyen was excellent. As a family, we were involved in decision making especially with regard to whether or not to have both eyes done at the same time but also whether or not to have anaesthetic. Having both eyes done together was a good decision for mum and her recovery and aftercare has all gone well. The optician was truly amazed at the difference it has made to her eyesight and mum was able to read crossword clues in the daily paper afya few days post op. Less

I had cataracts removed from both eyes together and was amazed at how comfortable I was throughout the procedure. And the result is wonderful. My eyesight has improved massively and I no longer have to wear glasses. My night vision is so much better and I have so much more confidence driving at night. I have had no problems since the procedure and was discharged by Mr Ngyuen today, after just 3 weeks. I would highly recommend Mr Ngyuen and the Wilsmow Hospital. Less

Superb service from start to finish, from the consultation in Bangor to the procedure in Wythenshaw and Mr Nguyen even arranged private transfer to the hospital for us. What more could one ask? I thoroughly recommend this service. Less

I had a significant cataract in my right eye, which affected my personal and professional life considerably. By having my surgery done privately, I could choose from a variety of lenses, not just the long-distance monofocal provided by the NHS. Mr Nguyen discussed my options and I decided to go for an extended depth of focus lens. This gives similar clarity at distance as the monofocal, but also provides far better vision in the mid-range (an area in which we do so many things). Mr Nguyen also recommended that, as that eye has astigmatism, I go for a lens with a toric correction. It is only three weeks since my surgery and I'm already delighted with my new lens. I can see extremely well across a range of distances without glasses, and wear just cheap specs for close up reading. I cannot recommend Mr Nguyen enough - he talked me through every step of the process and provided me with the information to choose a lens that was ideal for my eye and lifestyle. Less

I recieved excellent care from the initial consultation to the final review.Mr Nguyen spent time explaining all the options available which allowed me to make an informed choice. I'm so pleased with the outcome and freedom from glasses. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Nguyen. Less

I would highly recommend Mr Nguyen who recently replaced one of my cataracts. He is kind yet professional and I felt confident in his care The surgery was painless and efficient and my sight is so much better. Less

Cataract operation - both eyes. Simple painless operation over in 15 minutes. My eyesight has improved dramatically and removed the need for me to wear contact lenses. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering having the procedure! Overall it has been a fantastic experience! Less
