Overview
An Initial Consultation is your first step at the London Eye Clinic
Led by Mr Hooman, consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon and founder of the clinic, the evaluation is a detailed consultation designed to understand your eyes, your lifestyle, and your goals — and to create a clear plan forward.
Symptoms
Why is the evaluation important?
- You’re experiencing new or persistent eye symptoms such as dryness, watering, irritation, or changes in your eyelids
- You’ve been referred for specialist assessment or would like a second opinion
- You’re thinking about surgery or other treatments and want clear guidance before making decisions
- You’d simply like reassurance about the health and comfort of your eyes from an experienced surgeon
An evaluation is an essential first step in understanding your eye health and planning the right treatment. It gives you direct access to Hooman’s expertise and ensures nothing is overlooked.
Treatment
What happens during an Evaluation?
During your appointment, Hooman will:
-
Get to know you
He’ll talk through your medical and eye history, lifestyle, and what you hope to achieve — whether that’s better comfort, improved appearance, or clearer vision. -
Examine your eyes
A thorough eye examination is carried out, which may include vision testing, eyelid assessment, checking tear function, examining the eye surface, and using specialist imaging if needed. -
Explain his findings
Hooman will discuss what he’s seen, provide a clear diagnosis (or outline possible causes) and explain how these affect you. -
Outline your options
You’ll hear about every suitable treatment route — from lifestyle measures and medical therapies to in-clinic procedures or surgery where appropriate. -
Agree a plan
Together, you’ll decide the best next steps, with clear guidance on timing, recovery, and follow-up.

Testimonials
What Are Patients Saying?
Real stories from patients who trusted their eyes to Hooman Sherafat.
Exceeding all my expectations
I recently underwent ptosis treatment and corrective surgery with Mr Hooman Sherafat, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. From our first consultation, Mr Sherafat’s expertise and warmth put me completely at ease. He explained every step in detail, instilling total confidence in his abilities. His exemplary bedside manner, coupled with his team’s unwavering professionalism and kindness, made the entire process seamless and reassuring. The surgery itself was flawless, and the results have been life-changing. My eyelid was perfectly corrected, restoring both my appearance and my confidence. If you are considering this procedure, I wholeheartedly urge you to trust Mr Sherafat; his skill and dedication are truly exceptional.

Clearer, Brighter and the Colours are Wonderful
I just don’t know how to thank you for my improved eye sight. Everything is clearer, brighter and the colours are wonderful! Of course, I was a little fearful of the operation, but I had great confidence in you. The actual procedure was totally painless. The right eye could not have been more comfortable; in the left eye I had some very slight discomfort. Two days later the right eye was perfect and there was some ‘grittiness’ in the left; after one week both eyes are excellent.
ST, Cataract Patient
Thorough & Honest
After to meeting Mr Sherafat straight away I knew he was the right consultant for me. He was thorough & honest. My surgery was painless and I was constantly out at ease & informed of what was happening by him & his team. My results are very pleasing, exactly what I wanted natural & symmetrical. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better results. I have already recommended him to 3 people & one has already booked after seeing my results.

View the World in its Full Glory
Thank you for enabling me to once more view the world in its full glory. I am enjoying it immensely apart from discovering that I have more wrinkles than I had realised! However, a very tiny price to pay for full vision again.
