Consultant-led treatment and aftercare

With a wide range of experience and skills, our surgeons are ideally placed to recommend the very best treatment to suit your unique situation and needs. You won’t have to worry about being talked into a procedure that’s not right for you. We’ll only ever recommend a treatment if it’s going to offer you the results you want.

Vision Correction Specialists

Cataract surgery and refractive lens surgery now enable you to achieve excellent vision and very sharp focus, greatly reducing the need for glasses after surgery. This is achieved by such developments as toric lens implants that correct astigmatism, using our state of the art Alcon Verion image guidance system to achieve precise results,  and by the use of the highest quality lens implants with excellent optics. We also use extended depth of focus lens implants such as the Eyhance lens from Johnson and Johnson, which can greatly reduce the need for reading glasses. 

There are such a large range of lens implants available to us now, that your surgery really is 'bespoke'.

We will discuss all the lens implant options with you and make sure you achieve the best possible vision after your surgery.

You should also bear in mind that the best vision correction procedure for you might not be laser eye surgery. There could be another procedure that is more suitable for you, and will offer you better results. However, it takes an expert in both laser and non-laser vision correction to know all the options and recommend the very best treatment for you.

Reputation for excellence in vision correction surgery

Our standing and reputation as local NHS eye specialists is another aspect of our practice that sets us apart from many of our competitors. And it allows you to feel safe in the knowledge that you are being treated by trusted practitioners, with a reputation for excellence.

Unlike many eye surgery clinics, whose surgeons practice solely in the private sector, we have the breadth and depth of experience of having performed thousands of intraocular surgery procedures on the NHS, as well as privately.

We have a solid reputation for surgical excellence and outstanding levels of care. Our patients consistently recommend us to their friends and family because they enjoyed excellent results from their surgery, along with truly personal service. You can read some of their reviews on Google reviews.

We also have a reputation for excellence among other medical professionals. Local GPs and opticians frequently refer their own patients to us for assessment and treatment because they know we offer the highest quality of care and consistently outstanding results.

What’s more, you’ll enjoy the very highest levels of service, with personal attention from our qualified surgeons at every stage of your consultation and treatment.

I received excellent treatment and after care from Mr Quinn and his team. I have just had bilateral cataract surgery performed by Mr Quinn. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly and I had confidence in the procedure. The results of my surgery are better than I had expected and I really felt that the Clinic achieved the best outcome for me. It was fantastic to receive such personalised care at all stages of the process.

Excellent care and highest quality surgery. When no one else, over many years and at multiple regional eye centres was willing to try, Mr Connor Ramsden at Exeter Eye was willing to undertake complex surgery on an eye I severely damaged 63 years ago as a child. He fully explained why he could do the surgery, what he was going to do and what the risks were. Then did it. From the first phone contact with his secretary, the initial testing by his nurse and the team during surgery, everyone is very professional with a calm assurance that gave me full confidence in trusting them with my eyesight.

Neil Bowley replaced both of my lenses during the same operation. He and the staff inspire confidence which banishes any fears. The whole experience was excellent and the positive outcome was almost immediate. Miraculous!

I was recommended to Mr Tony Quinn at Exeter Eye by a friend. From the initial assessment to find out if I was suitable for Refractive Lens Exchange through to the surgeries, everything was dealt with in a speedy and professional manner. Mr Quinn is an excellent surgeon and very personable as well. He gave me all the relevant information and answered all the queries I had really clearly. His secretary Jo was really helpful and informative at various points too, for example if there was something I'd forgotten to ask, and the rest of the nursing and reception staff were all excellent as well. I had my eyes done two weeks apart and used a contact lens in one eye in between. The surgery itself is very straightforward. You can have sedation, but I decided not to and didn't regret that. Having been short sighted since I was a teenager, being able to see clearly has been life changing for me, so I would heartily recommend Mr Quinn and Exeter Eye.

The care and expertise given by Tony Quinn and every member of the incredible team at Exeter Eye, at each step of my lens refractive surgery journey, has been exceptional. I have struggled with high myopia since the age of 11yr and have never had distance vision as perfect as I have now. It has been life changing; and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to have treatment from this team.

I have recently completed cataract surgery on both eyes choosing lenses suitable for astigmatism. Initially very nervous and with misgivings about the whole procedure I was quickly reassured by my surgeon Tony Quinn who explained in detail what this entailed and ensured I fully understood what would happen. The local anaesthetic was painless as was the operation itself with minimal post operative discomfort which was short lived. Having been acutely short sighted for some 70 years the experience of complete clarity of vision without contact lenses is both a revelation and constant delight. I have yet to get over the novelty of being able to read the bedside clock without fumbling for my glasses. I cannot rate highly enough my surgeon and all the staff with whom I came into contact, all highly professional and charming. I wholeheartedly recommend this organisation.

The Exeter Eye team were superb and I felt cared for at every stage of my Lens Replacement journey. Mr Quinn was exceptional - I can not recommend him highly enough. I have struggled with high myopia and switching between glasses and contact lenses for a number of years. I now have amazing distance vision for the first time in my life - I could not be happier. Thank you Mr Quinn and the Exeter Eye team you have literally changed my life!

I recently visited Exeter Eye for a Cataract in my left eye. The initial assessment by a very kind and personable Mr Peter Simcock was very comprehensive with everything explained in as much detail as I wanted after a thorough eye examination. I received excellent advice on which type of lens would be best for me. I felt very well looked after by a large team of people before during and after the surgery. In the evening after the operation, I had a concern about my eye so sent a text message to Mr Simcock and I was very impressed by a quick reassuring reply answering my concern. I also had a follow up call the next day which was fantastic. Absolutely Brilliant service by Mr Peter Simcock and his team at Exeter Eye.

I have recently had two eye operations, namely bilateral sequential cataract surgery with Eyhance lens replacement. The whole process has been exemplary. Swift, painless and with very little post operative discomfort. After wearing glasses for over twenty years, my vision is absolutely amazing. Many thanks to Peter Simcock and his excellent team. I am one very satisfied customer!

The Importance of Complete Eye Exams

Caring for your eyesight begins with complete eye examinations. Complete eye exams are about more than just testing your vision, it’s a full check-up for your eyes. Many eye care problems can develop over long periods of time, without symptoms, and can irreversibly damage your vision.

Regularly scheduled complete eye exams are the best way to detect such conditions early, and address them before they develop into more serious problems. Most adults should have a complete eye exam every one to two years. Children should receive complete eye exams regularly as they grow to detect and treat eye conditions that can affect their progress in school.

Infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at six months, and subsequent exams as directed by their eye doctor.

Patients who are at a higher risk for certain conditions, such as diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, and those over the age of 40, should have exams more frequently, as recommended by their eye doctor.

Remember that caring for your eyesight begins with complete eye examinations. They are the best way to detect eye conditions early, and address them before they develop into more severe problems.
