years experience between our two surgeons
I first attended The Wellington Eye Clinic in 2004 for laser procedure. I have been back for a check up every 2 years since then. I highly recommend Mr Cummings and staff for their excellent professionalism and level of care throughout the years. My initial treatment was very successful and any minor issues I have had since were always sorted out on a visit. Following my very positive experience, two of my family have since had treatment from Mr Cummings. If you are considering laser treatment, I'd say 'go for it' here. It's been life changing.
My two daughters have been attending Cian for almost 4 years now, I always found him to be pleasant and passionate about his job, he is very patient with the children , explaining everything in simple ways for us to understand. I found the nurses and the reception team like Ciara always very helpful and keen to assist at all times. I highly recommend the Wellington Eye Clinic Thank you Hossam
I am a patient of the Wellington Eye Clinic who have received excellent, professional, Expert Opthalmic Care and attention from the TEAM & especially from Dr Barry Cummings personnel expertise together with the team in the Beacon Hospital Day Unit. The results from the actual period of 15 mins that is taken for the proceedure in nothing less that an unbelievable result. When completed my experience was excellent with the new vision I have, with clarity of vision, colour. I am very much in debt to Dr Barry Cummings and his team. An overall exceptional, professional and caring team.
I am an experienced eye surgeon myself, I had to consider, where I should visit to perform the procedure. For many years I was using contact lenses, but these were no longer good for me. I considered LASIK on my eyes. As I am an experienced eye surgeon myself, I had to consider, where I should visit to perform the procedure. As I have known Dr Arthur Cummings and the Wellington Eye Clinic for many years, I decided to visit Dr Cummings. His excellence, his warm-hearted art, his attitude to perfection are well known and convinced me to give my eyes to his hands. Also, his staff and colleagues are so kind and care about absolutely everything, that I just felt like visiting my family rather than a clinic. The procedure lead to a perfect result. Today for more than 40 years it is the first time, that I am able to look at my environment without any prosthesis. It is an overwhelming experience, and still after a week I sit down and only enjoy looking – at everything: I do not read the newspaper, but look at the contrasts changing on the paper in the light and those little particles in the material. It was three days after LASIK that I could do my work as a microsurgeon again, everything worked perfectly. As a result, I am convinced, the Wellington Eye Clinic and Dr Arthur Cummings are clearly recommended.
3 weeks ago i got laser done on my eyes at the wellington eye clinic I have one regret and that is i should have done it sooner, it was totally painless, and the results are just amazing, i had been wearing glasses and contacts since i was 12 and am now in my 40's i am delighted I finally went and got it done, the team in the wellington eye clinic are just superb from my very first call they made me feel at ease and welcome, i cant speak highly enough of Dr Cummins and his team even after the procedure with the follow up phone calls and texts, anyone thinking of getting eye surgery I cant recommend highly enough, thanks again Damien O Brien
I had my eye laser surgery done the 10th of January. I had a wonderful experience. All the team and fabulous staff took great care of me. Arthur Cummings is a fantastic surgeon. He even checks in with you that evening to see how you are and you can call,if you’ve any issues. My healing was great. And they check your eyes the next day you feel very reassured. The results is unbelievable. I feel better and confident at my work now, wish I had done it long ago.would highly recommend,wellington eye clinic.
I’m a year post laser eye surgery, my experience with the Wellington Cljnic has been exemplary! I couldn’t recommend them enough- the entire team, from reception and pre appointment tests, to Mr. Cummings and the team in surgery to the after care. Everything well explained, the whole team are very professional and helpful. I am delighted with the outcome- I wore glasses for almost all my life and now to see so well without them is amazing- it has been life-changing for me!!! Thanks to all in the Wellington Eye Clinic!
Some years ago ,I suffered the terrifying experience of temporal arteris,and Arthur Cummings saved the sight in my right eye..alas,It was too late for the other eye…but I am eternally grateful to him for the wonderful expertise of his brilliant mind,and gentle manner,giving me courage to continue on.His team are gentle, polite and encouraging.He is one of the best eye surgeons in Ireland, Thank you,Arthur
I am three days post LASIK treatment and couldn’t be happier. The Wellington Clinic and Dr. Cummings came highly recommended from a friend, and from my very first consultation I knew I was in safe and expert hands. Dr. Cummings and the whole Team are so kind and caring, providing such a positive experience. The level of care and service from the very first phone call to the treatment itself and the aftercare is second to none. If you are considering Laser Eye Surgery, I couldn’t recommend this clinic more.
If you are reading these reviews trying to decide if you should go for laser eye surgery or not then just get on the phone and book an appointment, you won't regret it! The Wellington eye clinic have been totally amazing throughout my whole experience. I eventually plucked up the courage last year to look into getting laser eye surgery after years of talking myself out of it and I am gutted that I didn't pluck the courage up years ago! The staff could not have been more helpful and especially given the current circumstances they went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and happy throughout all of my visits. I ended up getting LASEK as it was better suited for my eyes, the recovery was longer and a bit more uncomfortable than I hear the LASIK is but I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Anything is worth it to finally have 20/20 vision and not have to put contacts in every morning. The surgery was totally painless and was over before I knew it, I couldn't believe how quick it was! It was a really nice touch that my surgeon Dr Arthur Cummings sent a text to me the evening after my surgery to make sure I was doing ok. The aftercare has been super, with regular visits and check ups to make sure that everything had gone to plan, which of course it did. I could not fault the Wellington eye clinic at all. Thanks so much to everyone there for finally giving me 20/20 vision :) :)
My experience at the wellington eye clinic has been completely life changing. From my initial consultation, surgery and aftercare the attention to detail and quality of care was outstanding. Before surgery I had a -6 prescription and glasses really affected my confidence. I had worn contacts for years but they were beginning to make my eyes dry and uncomfortable. They were also extremely expensive. I had thought about laser eye surgery for years and finally decided to research further when I came across the wellington. Everyone in the clinic is extremely friendly and answered all my questions about the surgery. Reception staff, nurses, ophthalmologists and Arthur himself are very professional. On the day of surgery everything went well and I had perfect vision the next day. A few things to me in particular stood out to me and put the wellington above the rest. My first consultation was extremely detailed and felt in no way rushed. All my options for surgery were presented to me in a way I could easily understand. Surgery itself was pain free and over before I could believe it. Aftercare instructions were presented simply and clearly. I received a text that evening from my surgeon to make sure I was comfortable and pain free which is a lovely touch. Now a month later I am now thrilled to be enjoying life free of contacts and glasses and I have never looked back. I have had no dryness irritation or discomfort. I am delighted I chose surgery at the wellington and would highly recommend here for anyone considering surgery. Thank you for changing my life.
I got LASIK done on one eye three weeks ago. I didn't particularly need it as I was at the early stage of lazy eye sight. But I wanted to see as good as before, without glasses for this and that. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The clinic was very clean and hygienic, which was important to me being the nature of the procedure. Perfect sight that evening. No knife no pain , just science techno magic. Copious amounts of anesthetic drops and valium offered if needed. Thank you Dr Cummings. It's great going out and about with perfect sight again. Glasses in the bin too. Lisa Lynam 1st Dec 2019
I visited the clinic this week (19/11/19) and couldn't help but be impressed with the professionalism and warmth shown by all of the staff there. From the moment I walked in to the clinic, I was made to fell at ease and my tests were conducted swiftly and in the utmost comfort. I was examined by Mr. Cummings and was delighted with the care and the knowledge that he was able to share with me that was relevant to my case. He has left me with a very clear idea of where I would like to be in the future with regard to the health of my eyes at my age and I will definitely be returning to the Wellington Eye Clinic for one of his suggested treatments when the time permits.
I attended the Wellington Eye Clinic at the Beacon yesterday 25/3/19 for a thorough eye check-up and to get advice regarding dry eye condition. My Optometrist was Ms. Avril Barnes and she was brilliant. I had Lasik surgery 13 years ago with Mr. Arthur Cummings in The Wellington and I am delighted that my eyes are still great. I received very good advice and information with regard to treating dry eye and having used a warm eye treatment routine for literally just one night so far, I can already feel a difference in my eyes today with regard to moisture levels. I am very grateful for the excellent service I received yesterday from every single member of staff who looked after me from start to finish. Wendy
I have been thinking about getting Laser Eye Surgery done for a very long time now!! I finally went for it and on Friday (the 13th April), I got it done!! All I can say is “totally amazing”. From the second I walked in the door, the people at the front desk were extremely welcoming and polite to me - offered for free Tea / Coffee! Then firstly a lady brought me in to take some shots of my eyes - kept talking to me which made me feel very relaxed! Then, I had a consent form to sign and instead of just giving it to me to read through and try to understand myself - a different lady brought me into a room to explain to me in full detail what exactly I was consenting to - she was extremely nice and most helpful! Then a lady brought me into the room - got the clothing I had to put on - she was always talking to me all the time which really made me feel at ease! Then Dr. Joseph came into the room and explained every single thing that was going to happen in the room! Finally I went into the room and lay down and Dr. Joseph stayed beside me all the time - talking to me - explaining what / when he was going to do, what was was going to happen and how long things were going to take. Everything was done to perfection! Then to top it off, when I went home on the Friday afternoon, I received a text message from Dr. Joseph to ensure that everything was alright with me and that if I had any queries or concerns that day or night (before I go back the following morning for a checkup), not to hesitate to contact him! Some people thought I was crazy getting this done on Friday 13th, but the way I look at it is, when your with the best there is, the day / date doesn’t matter! Sssooo happy I got this done and that I chose The Wellington Eye Clinic!! Can not recommend them enough!!
Thank you all so much for making my experience calm and easy . I had a complex eye condition that only a handful of specialists would treat so you can imagine my thoughts contemplating having surgery. Anyway with professional guidance and confidences in the team at the clinic I proceeded yesterday. My eyes were sore for a few hours which is expected but my eye sight is almost perfect today with no pain. It honestly feels like a new world for me this morning. I can’t thank you all enough. Highly recommend �
I had a very specialized procedure at the Wellington Eye Clinic on Thursday to restore my vision to 20:20. Dr Cummings and his exceptional team performed the procedure and I am now ecstatic to report that I have 20:15 vision. It is important that readers appreciate that I have a prosthetic eye for over 40 years so to have this quality of vision is incredible. I am looking out my front window and actually seeing incredible detail in shrubs, hedges , everything. To say thanks sound so little but I cannot express Judy how thankful I am to Dr Cummings and everyone at the Wellington Eye Clinic.
At 56 my daily life changed completely after Kamra eye surgery performed by the amazing Dr Arthur Cummings. No more endless searching for reading glasses and, the procedure was totally painless. I couldn't read a thing, no newspapers, phone, price tags - I was endlessly buying cheap reading glasses when I forgot my prescription ones. The morning after the surgery I read a magazine without glasses for the first time In about 20 years. I can't thank the Wellington Eye Clinic enough. Wonderful staff� I HIGHLY recommend them.
