Kam Balaggan Consultant Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgeon Reviews 

I have trusted Mr Balagan with my eye care for over 4 years now. Most recently he has helped me with detached retina (twice in 8 weeks). He is always kind, caring, and professional but most importantly he is thorough in his examinations. He listens to your symptoms and will work with you at all stages. When his website says you have access to him believe me that is true, I texted him on Boxing day and he called me.....that's dedication. He got me in to hospital and operated on very quickly both times for my retina detachment. His team are amazing especially his PA Debbie who is always efficient and helpful as well as taking a personal interest in your wellbeing. I am glad I have Mr Balagan looking after me.

Full Review and Cataract Surgery.
I visited Mr Balaggan to have a full review. I was noticing that my eyesight was becoming poorer so decided to get this investigated. I have had eye issues since 2011 so was very anxious but Mr Balaggan put me at my ease immediately. He is very calm and patient, and after a thorough examination of both eyes, he advised that I needed cataract surgery on both eyes. He explained the different lenses available and I was booked in for 8/11/25 then 7/12/25. I feel so blessed to have been able to have the procedures with him. He is a miracle worker. I have been wearing glasses/contact lenses since the age of 19 and I am now 65. I am only using reading glasses. Just amazing. Thank you Mr Balaggan. I also need to thank his secretary Debbie, who is on hand to help with any questions. I had a few being the anxious person that I am. So reassuring.
If you need to choose a consultant, I recommend Mr Balaggan.

I have recently completed my third episode of care with Kam Balaggan Ophthalmologist Ltd. I had a sudden reduction in the vision of my left eye. I contacted Mr Balaggan and he was very quick to respond. He performed a cataract operation within the week to assess any damage to my retina. My eyesight has improved greatly and, fortunately, I have experienced no further symptoms.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kam Balaggan Ltd to anyone seeking top-quality, compassionate care.

Kam and his team at the Spire eye centre are excellent. Had retinal peel and recently cataract surgery. Dealing with Debbie his secretary through to the nurses is so easy. On the day surgery is well explained and all after care well explained. My eye sight has improved enormously.

I had a cataract form on my right eye, which is my main eye for clay shooting . This hindered me from doing my chosen sport , and everyday life.
I was given Mr Balaggans details by my optician, as one of only two people in the country he would trust to do my operation .
From the first details everything was so professional and easy to go through . My first meeting we discussed which lense I would need, fully explained to me . The op was booked , and carried out to the highest standard , with all aftercare fully explained .
After only a week after my op I have been for my follow up with Mr Balaggan, and I can now see two rows of letters better than 20-20 vision! This is with 5 more weeks of healing to go.
Thank you so much Mr Balaggan , you have made me very happy and would 100% recommend yourself and your company if any asked for a reference .

Mr Balaggan and team made the whole vitrectomy experience a lot less daunting than could have been the case. I would thoroughly recommend.

From the initial consultation and the procedure I can only speak as I find but Kam was excellent. I have achieved 20/20 vision in my left eye and would highly recommend Kam if you are considering cactaract surgery.

I would highly recommend Mr Balaggan for cataract surgery. The whole process was by Mr Balaggan and his team, with excellent results in my vision.

Mr Balaggan has been very thorough, honest and my surgery went very well. I was fully informed at all times, before, throughout and post surgery and am now recovering well from my Vitrectomy. I was worried about being awake but it was absolutely fine!

Mr Balaggan performed my cataract surgery. I had three visits in total including the operation. At each visit Mr Balaggan was extremely professional, courteous and approachable. He was more than happy to answer any questions and also to have a friendly chat. He was very thorough and I am absolutely delighted with the result. I would recommend Mr Balaggan to anyone requiring cataract surgery.

Mr Balaggan performed an urgent Vitrectomy and Capsulotomy. At a worrying time he was professional and very reassuring. He gave me confidence in him which was fully justified by a successful operation. I am deeply in his debt.

My experience with Dr. Balaggan has been extremely positive and supportive. From day one he put me at ease, especially when I was very nervous about having cataract surgery. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and is truly excellent at what he does. Thanks to his care and expertise, I’ve been able to regain my sight again my recovery is going very well.

I’m very grateful to him and his team for handling my case with such care and compassion.

Today I went to resolve what I thought could be something dangerous and today for the first time in a long time I had my faith restored in the NHS after meeting DR kam he is incredibly professional and has outstanding compassion and understanding for his patience. Thank you so much.

Mr Balaggan made me feel very calm and it’s clear he’s very good at what he does. Would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

Mr Balaggan repaired my macular hole which was of great concern to me, coming out of the blue.
I have to say that Mr Balaggan is an outstanding professional and did a super job on my eye, completely closing the hole for me. He is very calm and precise and I was very pleased to be kept informed every step of the way through the procedure which was actually not as bad an experience as I had thought it would be. He was also very thorough with the follow up appointments and I would recommend Mr Balaggan to anyone in a similar position.

Mr Balaggan was a calming professional who took time to explain each step and give a sensible best and worst case scenario. He assured me that he would do his very best to close a "Very Large" macular hole I presented with.
I underwent surgery within two weeks and the care and reassurance that both the operation and the aftercare afforded was simply, second to none.
Mr Balaggans expertise has resulted in a successful closure of my macular hole and I have no hestiation in 100% recommending him to anyone requiring eye surgery. I am delighted with the results.

Mr Balaggan is everything you would wish for in a Consultant...extremely knowledgeable, professional, and approachable. He listened to my concerns and was very reassuring and inspired complete confidence. He performed cataract operations on both my eyes with complete success and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Kam’s expertise is very obvious and he has undertaken retina reattachment and both eye lens replacement for me. My sight is now brilliant and all has gone smoothly. I was definitely in safe hands

Mr Balaggan is an excellent surgeon. He explained all my options , operated and then gave my perfect follow up care.Thank you.
