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.
Everything about the experience was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional, the facilities top class and the outcome hugely beneficial. Very grateful to Mr. Cummings and his team.
Mr Brendan Cummings explained everything to me & I also received pages with all the information laid out clearly - all done in very friendly manner. Also all the many staff that dealt with me were efficient & friendly, particularly Clare Maguire. I am very pleased with the results of both of my Cataract surgeries. Many thanks to all. Barbara Strong
Staff incredibly patient and courteous. Unbelievable attention and every test explained. Took plenty of time to answer all my questions
The most professional service I’d say on the planet. Staff were amazing. Thank you all Declan smith
The facilities are top class, the equipment for assessing and expertise of the staff second to none, everyone so very accommodating and helpful, the best place in Ireland for corrective sight surgery.
I am a Patient of Wellington Eye Clinic for over 25 years. Initially my Doctor was Richard Corkin who performed Lasek Surgery in my right eye and was very successful. I have been attending Dr Arthur Cummings since Dr Corkin's Retirement and he has been amazing. He has carried out some procedures together with Cateract surgery in both eyes and very successful. Overall my experience of the Wellington Eye Clinic is excellent and I would highly recommend it. The staff are also most professional, friendly and helpful.
I saw Dr. Brendan Cummings today and the service & efficiency of all staff was exceptional Brendan Cummings is unbelievable at what he does, really friendly and inviting They are the best there is, highly recommend
I had the Allotex Corneal Inlay procedure in August 2024. The care I received from the Wellington Eye Clinic was excellent. All the staff that I dealt with were courteous, expert and focused on delivering an excellent outcome for me. I am very pleased with the results and I would highly recommend the Wellington Eye Clinic.
After going to another eye clinic and being told I don't qualify for lens replacement, I went to the Wellington for a second opinion and they were also recommended to me. So glad I did. They are first class clinic. Very thorough, informative, professional and masters at their field. From my initial enquiry, dealing with front of house, my consultation with Una and my procedure by Arthur Cummings and the follow up with the team, it was fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Had a slight residual prescription (which can happen)in my left eye and had laser on this eye. Delighted with the results. Having worn glasses as a child and depended on them more with age don't know myself now, not having to wear them. Only regrets is I didn't get the procedure sooner
I cant praise the wellington clinic enough, they are amazing and i have been dealing with them for past 12 years. I recently had laser surgery in one eye again due to a medical issue with one eye and Mr cummings dealt with me again and his kindness i will never forget as i was very worried as had complicated past history. All staff were so kind and i wouldn’t go anywhere else because they r all amazing.
Top quality care and attention taken of their clients. My lasek treatment was pain free from start to finish and was such a quick procedure. It was the best decision I made and money well spent. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of attending the wellington eye clinic
I had an excellent experience with The Wellington eye clinic, Arthur and his staff are so nice yet professional, everything was explained in plain language and the after care is second to none, I highly recommend them 110%!
Incredible care. I visited other places and found that a lot of sales techniques were used. In contrast, when I went to Wellington it was all about what was medically appropriate rather than any attempt to upsell. The care provided was exemplary from start to finish.
I had a fantastic experience at the Wellington Eye Clinic. So glad I went there, best thing I ever did! I put it off for years but so happy once I finally decided to go ahead with it.
Arthur and his team are so amazing!!!! Exceptional care and attention with excellent vision - - delighted to have such a great team in my corner
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.
I couldn’t recommend the Wellington Eye Clinic enough. Dr Cummings, the optometrists, the nurses and all of the support staff were fantastic. I had LASIK and the recovery was exactly as described. 10/10
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.
Excellent clinic. Feel I finally have some options regarding my vision problems. Recommend 100%, only sorry I didn't find my way here long before now. Thanks.
I recently attended the clinic having been diagnosed with Keratoconus.. I had a consultation with Dr Cummings as I was so overwhelmed. He was extremely knowledgeable on the subject. We together set up a plan and he totally reassured me. Best money I ever spent.
I got my eyes lasered in June by Dr Cummings and his team. It’s been the best thing I’ve ever invested in. No more glasses , better than winning the lotto. I would highly recommend getting them done , painfree and so quick. The man is a genius !
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.
