Vincenzo Maurino Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Moorfields Eye Hospital Reviews 

Excellent, supportive, skilled care from Mr Maurino and all his team for which I am extremely grateful.

I was very unsure about going ahead with Cateract lens replacement surgery being aware of the possible complications of the procedure.I have high myopia and mild retinal abnormalities and was therefore more at risk of complications. I initially considered surgery back in February 2024 but kept putting it off having initially been told by a different specialist that I should only have monofocal full correction of my short sight in both eyes but would then lose my near vision.
Mr Maurino was reassuring throughout all the interactions I had with him and particularly during the two surgical operations. He even dealt calmly with my questions in the operating theatre with respect to the power of the lens to be inserted. I now understand this has nothing to do with glasses prescription but is worked out taking into account many different factors which are carefully measured including length of eyeball and detailed visual assessments at an initial appointment. I had surgery in each eye separately one week apart- I was aware that both eyes could have been operated on the same day but preferred to know that there were no initial complications before proceeding to the second eye. I had Toric monofocal lenses inserted in both eyes and can now function without glasses for the first time in 55years! Drops are required post surgery for 4 weeks but the regime for this is clearly explained . My right eye can see distance clearly and my left can read small print. I can see colour so much more vividly then pre-surgery and am also able to drive at night with glare massively reduced. (Multifocal lenses were not a possibilty for me). My brain is still adapting to this new situation but I am hopeful that if I persevere I can continue glasses free. Simple things eg swimming/showering/seeing my grandchildren's faces/details and colour outside have been transformed and I now realise how much my vision had gradually deteriorated particularly over the past 3years despite ever increasing prescriptions in my glasses lenses. (Myopic shift)

I had read some excellent reviews of Mr Maurino with regard to cataract surgery prior to making an appointment for a consultation. This was worthwhile research, I benefited greatly from Mr. Maurino's experience when it came to my choice of IOL. I had extensive eye examinations before and after surgery, and Mr. Maurino's team are first class. Two months after surgery I am absolutely delighted with the results.

I had bilateral cataract surgery 27 September with EDOF implants. I was an extremely nervous patient, and, due to my fear of the surgery, had put off having a consultation for over a year. In the event, I needn’t have worried at all. My initial meeting with Mr Maurino went some way to allaying my fears - he was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and approachable. He explained everything carefully, including associated risks, and helped me to make decisions about the most suitable lenses to implant, and whether to have my eyes operated on separately or together.
On the day of my surgery he was very reassuring, and I relaxed, knowing that I was in the hands of an expert. The anaesthetising drops and mild sedative, combined with Mr Maurino’s superb skill, meant that not only did I feel no pain, but I also couldn’t feel anything that was happening (my biggest worry!). He told me at the outset to ‘relax and look at the light show’, which was what I did. The operations on both eyes were over in about 35 minutes. I left the hospital with blurry vision, and within a few hours I could see really well.
The results of my operation have been wonderful. I now have 20/20 vision and can see all but the tiniest print without reading glasses. It is now 4 weeks since my operation, and I am still marvelling at my new sight!
I cannot thank Mr Maurino and his wonderful team enough for transforming the quality of my life. My whole experience, from the initial consultation through to the post-operation appointment, was nothing short of perfect. I am recommending him to all my friends ‘of a certain age’. Like many others, I suspect, I wish I had had it done sooner.

understandably nervous about getting cataract eye surgery done. sent an email to ask some basic questions but it seems no one wants to answer my questions despite repeated requested. not at all reassuring as a prospective patient

I had eye surgery performed by Mr. Maurino. I had been very short sighted for most of my life and was very nervous about having the operation. However, Mr. Maurino was assuringly confident about the outcome which was very successful. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a “safe pair of hands” He is also supported by an excellent team.

Mr Maurino and his team have been superb from day one.
Very thorough assessment before surgery with comprehensive analysis of my need. This led to very sound advice on the type of lens that I needed.
Everything explained very well and the surgery was very straightforward with immediate improvement in my vision.

All in all a first class service and experience.
The team of Florence Evans and Andrew Robson make for a dream team.

Last December, I underwent LASEK treatment on both eyes to correct my high myopia, and I’m absolutely amazed by the results—perfect vision after 30 years of wearing glasses and contact lenses. The entire procedure was smooth and completely complication-free. Dr. Maurino has been exceptional throughout: clear and thorough in explaining every step of the process, and highly responsive to any questions or concerns, even offering check-ins at short notice, which I truly appreciated. It’s without a doubt one of the best investments I’ve made in a long time.

Both procedures were undertaken in a very efficient and careful way, with information and explanations provided continuously. The follow up appointment was thorough and left me feeling very happy to have chosen Vincenzo Maurino.

The surgery has transformed my life. I can now see in Ultra High Definition. Words cannot express my gratitude to Mr Mourino, Andrew and the team. A first class experience from start to finish. I’m off to marvel at the world again.

I had great reservations about a cataract operation, and it got so bad I needed to have both eyes done. I was recommended to go and see Dr. Maurino, even though BUPA warned me they would not cover all his costs. But you don't mess about when it comes to the eyes, so I went for a consultation. I was persuaded to have both eyes done together and I'm so pleased I did. His team is extremely efficient and Dr Maurino put my mind at rest. As the day approached, I did get nervous, but on the day the team put my mind at rest before the op. Apart from one nurse, who told me I may have to wear a patch over the eyes for two days after the op, something Dr. Maurino quickly denied. But when you are having jitters about the op...
The whole thing was over (both eyes) in 45 minutes. Dr Maurino is a genius. The op (if I can call it that) was painless and at the end of it, I could see clearly without glasses for the first time in 60 years! The aftercare with the drops is so important, but it only lasts a month and then you are free to enjoy your restored sight.

An all round excellent service. Mr Maurino and all his staff were kind, caring and above all professional. I underwent bilateral cataract surgeries two weeks apart. Everything was thoroughly explained to me beforehand including the important post-operative instructions. I am very pleased with the optical result.
Also, the breakdown of the costs were transparent. There were no hidden fees.

the surgery was comfortable ...quick ... and anaesthetic/ sedation superb too

Extremely thorough and efficient. Communication excellent.

Best experience ever. Mister Maurino completely changed my life. Thank you!

the surgeon approach,both in the clinic and theatre is excellent.

Transformational surgery over a four week period.
Well organised and good communication
Professional, empathetic staff

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Maurino from our very first meeting. He took the time to thoroughly explain the cataract procedure and what I could expect in terms of options available, outcomes and answered any concerns I had which put me at ease. The follow-up care was equally impressive, showcasing his high standard of professionalism and dedication to patient well-being. I am thrilled with my speedy recovery and the remarkable restoration of my eyesight. Highly recommended!

Dr Maurino provided great care from our first meeting and detailed information about the procedure and the expected outcome. The procedure followup was of equally high standard and professionalism. I am very happy with the speedy recovery and the restoration of my eyesight.

Last year I was diagnosed with cataracts. To be candid, I was not optimistic about the outcome of cataract surgery, given my high degree of myopia. I have been nearsighted for most of my life, wearing either heavy glasses or contact lenses for nearly 60 years, with my vision getting progressively worse. I was previously told that people with my correction (-10) typically did not have good results after cataract surgery. As such, I was amazed how well I could see the day after my first surgery.

I was very nervous prior to my surgery and opted to have two separate surgeries three weeks apart. Given how well the surgery went, I could probably have had surgery on both eyes on the same day.

There are a lot of options for cataract surgery and my suggestion would be to follow Mr Maurino's advice. He recommended monofocal lenses, with my left eye corrected for distance and my right eye for close up work. I am so glad that I followed his recommendations as I can see extremely well and now only need reading glasses for very small print.

Mr Maurino is a talented surgeon. He explained all the risks thoroughly and provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision. He is supported by a very competent team.

A huge thank you to Mr Maurino and his team.

I had Trans-PRK with Mr Maurino as a young patient with high compound myopic astigmatism (-7.00/-6.75) a year ago. Resulting vision 6/5. Mr Maurino (+ all members of staff) exhibited exceptional professionalism. I recommend.
