Centre for Sight Celebrates 25 Years of Laser Eye Surgery
In 2021 Centre for Sight celebrates 25 years of serving both the local community and worldwide with award winning premises and technology. Founded in 1996 at the Queen Victoria Hospital (QVH) by Medical Director Sheraz Daya, Centre for Sight became an established leader in technology and eye care. From here, the team has now grown across 3 clinics in East Grinstead, Surrey and London.
With small beginnings the centre initially rented out a few rooms at the Queen Victoria Hospital and within a few years grew considerably. The vision for Centre for Sight was to be an exemplary provider of medical and surgical care in the UK. The ethos of the centre has always been to exceed patients’ expectations at every level. The best way to accomplish this was to establish a free-standing self contained eye hospital able to provide diagnostics and surgery all under one roof.
The flagship building in Turners Hill Road, East Grinstead, West Sussex completed 12 years ago, is an energy-efficient and sustainable purpose-built Eye Hospital. Construction of this location began in December 2007, and completed in July 2009. Designed by renowned Toh Shimazaki Architects, the building has been the recipient of an Architectural Design Award from Mid Sussex Council and featured in the highly acclaimed Domus Magazine in 2009. It is from this facility that we are restoring vision and improving lives on a daily basis.
Another consultation and surgical centre was established in 2011 in Oxshott, Surrey. The Surrey centre has identical technology as the East Grinstead site as well as technology for highly advanced retinal surgery, including retinal detachment repairs often treated on the same day as presentation.
Centre for Sight London is a consultation and investigation facility in the Harley Street enclave. The centre recently moved to a brand new facility at 14 Queen Anne Street.
The main goal of Centre for Sight is, and has always been, to change lives through vision correction, restoration and preservation. Beginning as a Laser Eye Surgery, Centre for Sight is proud to now be specialised in more areas of eye surgery, including Laser Lens Replacement, Cataract Surgery, Corneal Transplants and more.
Headed by key opinion leaders in ophthalmology, Centre for Sight acts a reference centre for the ophthalmic industry and has been involved in developing innovative technology for eye care. Its leaders have for several years been listed amongst the 100 most influential ophthalmologists globally.
The centre has achieved its exemplary status, through good clinical governance, excellent outcomes all delivered through phenomenal teamwork. This is externally substantiated by achieving with silver certification “Investors In People” (IIP), rated overall good and outstanding for leadership by the Care Quality Commission , and one of very few hospitals with ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO27001 certification.
