Kam Balaggan Consultant Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgeon Reviews 

I initially contacted Mr Kam Balaggan through recommendations, he treated my macular hole in my left eye that was totally painless and following recommended recovery guidelines resulted in a full and successful process. A follow-up cataract operation using distance and intermediate insert was again totally painless. Two days after surgery my eyesight started to recover and continued to improve so much that I no longer need glasses except for reading. I can not thank Mr Balaggan enough, an exceptional expert in his field together with a pleasant and professional personality. I highly recommend him.

From the first consultation with Mr. Balaggan to the final discharge, I was treated extremely well. Mr. Balaggan explained everything in detail and the surgery for both cataract extractions and lens implants was extremely smooth and efficient. I would highly recommend Mr. Balaggan to anyone who requires cataract surgery. Excellent communication and instructions made the whole process easy to go through.

I have recently had cataracts removed from both my eyes by Mr Balaggan.
I was obviously very nervous about the operations,but was put at ease by Mr Balagam who explained in great detail the procedure involved.
The procedures were performed two weeks apart,and in both cases the recovery in both my eyes was amazing. Two days after my operations I could see perfectly . I cannot thank Mr Balaggan enough for his professionism and expertise,I would certainly recommend.

I recently had both my lens replaced and my astigmatism corrected in my left eye, the service that Kam Balaggan provided was extremely professional yet friendly to put me at ease. The procedure I had has worked better than I could of hoped for. I would without any doubt recommend him.

An outstanding eye-surgeon delivering life changing outcomes.
I have recently been under the care of Mr Balaggan and received excellent treatment, care and advice from this highly skilled professional. The outcome was the correction of the loss of clarity, light transmission and colour rendering that my cataracts were causing, hugely enhancing my quality of life.

Mr Balaggan was always calm and his obvious vast knowledge and years of experience made me feel very safe and secure from the first consultation through my cataract operations to discharge. The results have been amazing and I felt confident that what was being proposed was the best solution for me. I would recommend Mr Balaggan to anyone with cataracts requiring surgery.

Excellent detailed diagnosis, followed by prompt treatment with excellent results. Very good follow up appointments with clear explanation of procedure. We found his secretary Debbie to be efficient and professional

Mr Balaggan did two macular hole surgeries in 2016 & 2017 with excellent results but advised unfortunately would develop cataracts in the future.
I have just had both my cataracts in both eyes done with Mr Balaggan who advised a special lens due to previous surgery would be beneficial. He advised the best lens , advised all for and againsts, done tests and scans and kept me informed along the way .
He is an excellent surgeon, Professional, has the most calming bed side manner and Instills you full of confidence.
The results have far exceeded my expectations and has given me better eyesights than I have had since my teens. I have wore contact lenses and glasses for thirty years but now no longer need any assistance with my vision .
Can’t give this surgeon a higher enough praise and would recommend him to anyone

I have had a follow-up appointment with Mr Balaggan following Vitrectomy surgery and the results far exceed my expectations. Mr Bajaggan is an excellent surgeon with a wonderful manner, I would not hesitate to recommend him.

With my eyesight deteriorating, my optician diagnosed cataracts and a previously damaged retina in one eye. My prescription had deteriorated to -21.
I was referred to Mr Balaggan as my optician spoke extremely highly of him.
From the initial consultation it was obvious that Mr Balaggan was a top professional and I knew I was in excellent hands. He explained everything clearly and answered all my queries and not once did I feel apprehensive.
He explained that due to issues with my eyes there were a number of challenges for him but he approached this without any worry.
Firstly he performed laser treatment on my retina to strengthen the weak areas which went perfectly.
Following detailed discussions Mr Balaggan recommended bespoke Toric lenses which would not only improve my overall eyesight greatly but help to correct an astigmatism.
The two cataract and lens replacement procedures were performed over the next 2 months with great patience and care.
I now have almost 20/20 eyesight and I feel amazing as I no longer need specs for the first time in over 50 years.
I cannot thank him enough and I will forever be grateful to him for his incredible skill.

I cannot praise Mr Balaggan enough. After cataract surgery on both eyes (one in May the other in July) I now have much improved vision, so much so that I no longer need glasses for my distance vision.
Both Mr Balaggan and Debbie his secretary have been superb and I cannot recommend him and his team enough.

I was recommended to see Mr Balaggan by my optician after developing a cataract in my left eye. I have extremely high myopia (approx. -18 in the left eye) and, at 42, am (relatively!) young to have developed a cataract (but probably the myopia is the cause). Myopia and youth can both be complicating factors in cataract surgery, and there was also the added difficulty that after surgery my right and left eyes would be left with very different prescriptions. I was therefore very keen to see a surgeon with experience of complex cases. I cannot thank my optician enough for recommending Mr Balaggan. His reputation and credentials are, of course, impeccable, but before my consultation I was still pretty scared about the whole process, and so did extensive research of my own. Mr Balaggan listened carefully to my concerns and was able to answer all of my questions. He was patient and reassuring, and gave a very clear explanation of the options available to me, and direct advice on which of those he would recommend. There are limited premium lenses available for someone with my prescription, meaning that a multifocal lens was not an option, but Mr Balaggan was fully aware of the latest technology and was still able to suggest a premium lens that should work for me. I am very pleased to be able to say that Mr Balaggan delivered exactly what he said he would - with the toric EDOF (extended depth of focus) lens he suggested, I have precisely the visual outcome we were aiming for. Quite frankly, I have better vision in my left eye now than I have in my right, and that was something I didn’t expect, or dare to hope for. I cannot thank Mr Balaggan enough for both his frank advice and his surgical skill. When my right eye develops a cataract, as it inevitably will, I will have no hesitation in going back to see Mr Balaggan again, and I will be a lot less scared next time.

Polite, reliable and made the whole experience very comfortable. Tome keeping and surroundings were perfect. Great result following operations. Outstanding.

I would highly recommend Mr Kam Balagggan
What an amazing man ! A credit to his profession.
His five star reviews—— they say it all !
Look up his web site.
Thank you for all you have done for me Mr Kam

Having been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes I was recommended by my optician to see Mr Balaggan at the Wolverhampton Nuffield. During both consultations, diagnosis and surgery I received the very highest level of care and expertise from Mr Balaggan. His explanation of my condition and lens options was very clear and precise. The lenses he recommended are quite simply the very best you can get. The surgery on both eyes was seamless and completed successfully within a few weeks. I now have excellent vision in both eyes, (can now find my golf balls) I cannot recommend Mr Balaggan highly enough, a very skill-full and pleasant gentleman. Thank you kam, all the very best, phill Smith.

I was informed that my deteriorating vision was due to a combination of floaters, Asteroid hyalosis and a detatched vitreous in one eye, together with cataract developments in both. Not good news!

As a serious photographer and wildlife enthusiast, with a more than a casual interest in microscopy, my deteriorating sight was frustrating to say the least.
Also, as a retired Dental Surgeon with close ties to medical and opthalmology disaplines, I needed to be seen by a surgeon with the right experience and the knowledge to cope with any complications.

Why Mr Balaggan?
Well his web page displays a glowing CV and frankly speaks for itself.
However, quite unexpectedly, I was interrupted by a complete stranger whilst at a music venue. He had overheard me explaining my plight to a friend. Unprovoked, the man then turned to me and recommended Mr Balaggan for the superb eye care he had received with him at the Eye infirmary.

A consultation was duly booked and eventually cataract surgery completed on both eyes.
I, like the stranger, cannot fault the care I have received from Mr Balaggan. His attention to detail,the explanations of the complications, lens options, etc., and the precision surgery - all excellent.
He is also a very pleasant, empathetic man too. A credit to his profession and I'm not being paid to say this!
I now have an improvement in vision that is simply fantastic and has far exceeded our expectations.

I first met Kam Balaggan 2 years ago when my optician recommended him for laser treatment on my right eye.
Last month I was recommended again for cataract surgery on my right eye. I had no hesitation in seeing Mr Balaggan again and from first consultation to post surgery check up last week, cannot be more pleased with the outcome, i am now 'balanced' in both eyes and my vision is beyond spectacular. Cannot thank this true gentleman for his skill and kindness and he really does change people's lives.

Thank you, Mr Balaggan. First class service, outstanding expertise, calm and reassuring professionalism from the initial consultation, through surgery to remove cataracts in both eyes in February and May, to the excellent aftercare and final consultation today. Following Mr Balaggan’s excellent advice, I opted for enhanced monofocal lenses, offset to give me a greater range of vision and correct an astigmatism. The result? 20/20 vision and the restoration of bright and vibrant colour. Truly remarkable. Absolutely recommended.

Some years ago, having worn contact lenses for in excess of 40 years, my optician introduced me to the "miracle" of multi focal contact lenses. With cataracts getting worse Mr Balaggan has recently performed the "miracle" of removing the cataract affected lenses in both eyes, replacing them with enhanced lenses giving me 20/20 vision. I cannot thank him, and his secretary Debbie, enough for the calm, helpful professional service that they have given

We have received first class service from our optician for many years. However, at my wife's last sight test he confirmed that he had done all he could to improve her sight by way of spectacles. He suggested a consultation with Kam to explore a surgical option.
From the outset, Kam was very professional, but friendly; very clear in his diagnosis and explained the recommended procedure very well, in terms we could understand.
The arrangements for the procedures were made very efficiently by Kam's assistant, Debbie, as were the follow-ups.
The outcome of the surgery has been fantastic. For the first time in over 60 years my wife has 'proper' vision without the need for spectacles. To say this is life-changing for her is not an understatement.
I have no hesitation is recommending Kam. We cannot thank him enough.
