Dan Nguyen - Private Cataract Surgery Wrexham

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!

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
