I want to express my sincere appreciation to Jesse Panthagani who carried out my Len’s replacement surgery. His professionalism skill and reassuring nature were exceptional from start to finish. Before the procedure he explained everything in away that was easy to understand and took the time to calm any worries I had. His confidence and gentle approach made me feel completely safe in his care. During the surgery he continued to reassure me checking I was comfortable and explaining each step. The whole experience was far easier than I imagined and the improvement in my vision had been life changing. I am incredibly grateful for his expertise and kindness he showed throughout. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering Len’s replacement surgery
Jesse Panthagani was very calm and gentle with a friend of mine who recently had a double cataract operation. From the initial assessment, through surgery and follow up a week later the whole experience was smooth, informative at each stage and very professional. We initially met Mr Panthagani at Glendon Wood Hospital - all staff that attended to my friend were marvellous, caring and with a good sense of humour! The Optimax Clinic in Leicester was very professional, super clean and friendly and the surgery was completed in no time at all. The follow up appointment was back at Glendon and again Mr Panthagani was friendly and clear on instruction going forward. The only thing I would add is that as far as checking vision for driving - this (in my humble opinion) might have been better to do prior to checking the eyes as the bright light from the check took a little time to settle down from before concentrating on reading the letters for distance vision. However, in the shape of the whole experience it is just a minor point - that may or may not be useful. Thank you to all for such a wonderfully calm and informative and caring experience. I personally would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Panthagani, Glendon Wood and Optimax Leciester and using them myself if needed.
The last time I wore my glasses 8.20am Thursday 1st October 2026 Following yet another eye ulcer and chat with my opticians I decided to seek further advice on laser treatment to be told that I am too old!! (59 at the time). I did potentially however have an alternative in a double lens replacement and the consultant to go and see was Jesse Panthagani this was in July 2026. During our initial meeting all the staff were amazing all knew exactly how nervous I was and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. After careful consideration and discussion with my husband we decided to go for it, however due to my own work commitments I couldn’t go until 1st October 2026. When we arrived at the clinic in Leicester at 8.05am to be met by another set of staff who were equally as lovely and calming. Everyone without fail took the time to explain what was going to happen their part in the process and how things would go. Having been called through to theatre at 8.20am that was the last time I wore my glasses!! Having settled into position Mr Panthagani started the operation. First the right eye and I felt nothing so gentle he explained everything throughout the operation what was going to happen next and what felt like no time it was done. Ding ding round two the left eye. Exactly the same. Had I been given a get out on the Thursday morning I probably would have taken it however I am now so glad I didn’t. First check up done now 20/20 vision clean bill of health and healing nicely. I can now go back to living my life glasses and contact lens free and will see my old age in without the need for any other corrective surgery on my eyes. I had never really appreciated since wearing glasses from the age of 4 and contact lenses since I was 17 how clear and crisp things now look. Do we just take it we are all getting older and things deteriorate? Its easy to say don’t worry about operations - as they are going to be someone else’s operation, I would however say knowing what I now know having gone through it - chose the right professional. For me it really was Jesse Panthagani and his entire team. Thank you to all of them.

It’s completely natural to feel uncertain about what comes next. The good news is that cataract surgery is a safe and proven way to restore your vision. A free assessment can give you the clarity and confidence you need to make informed decisions about your eye health.
Night driving can become difficult and even unsafe with cataracts, often leading to a loss of independence. If glare and blurred vision are holding you back, a free assessment can help determine if cataract surgery could restore your clarity and confidence behind the wheel.
Whether it’s reading, watching TV, or seeing clearly at various distances, juggling multiple glasses can be frustrating and disruptive. There’s a better way. Book a free appointment to find out if you’re eligible for premium cataract surgery with multifocal lenses — designed to simplify your life and reduce your dependence on glasses.
Informal screening tools, not a diagnosis — if anything looks off, we can take it from there in clinic.
Real people, unscripted — their words, in their own living rooms.
Mr Panthagani explained every option with a patience I haven’t experienced from a consultant before. The surgery itself was over in minutes — the confidence he gave me beforehand is what I’ll remember.
