😠 I visited Vision Clinic with badly deteriorating eyesight. I spent half an hour with a junior doctor then 10 minutes with Dr Kumar. Left with a bill just shy of $500 and a minor dry eye diagnosis. After a few weeks and some prompting I received a report which had errors regarding my personal details...

    I visited Vision Clinic with badly deteriorating eyesight. I spent half an hour with a junior doctor then 10 minutes with Dr Kumar. Left with a bill just shy of $500 and a minor dry eye diagnosis. After a few weeks and some prompting I received a report which had errors regarding my personal details and no mention of cataracts. Went to a dry eye specialist and received alternate treatments that helped much more than those suggested here. Went to another opthalmologist and was promptly diagnosed with cataracts. Vision clinic contacted me q.few times to come back but I'm not sure why. Maybe if I paid a few more sessions they might have noticed that I've got cataracts.

    I have nothing but praise for Dr Nikhil Kumar. Cataract operations were an outstanding success and within hours I had 20/20. Thank you to Dr Kumar and team for your professionalism and efficiency.

    Dr Kumar and staff are professional, caring, and personable, and the clinic is impeccably clean. Dr Kumar helped me with my dry eye syndrome, which improved by 80% since the first time I saw him in 2018. He also corrected my vision with the SMILE procedure earlier this year. I recommended Dr Kumar to my friends; one of them has already seen him for Lasik and is also very happy with the results.

    Dr Kumar literally changed my life. After seeing another eye specialist around four years ago regarding laser eye surgery, I was terrified to proceed after being told it would be incredibly painful the first day. So I put it off and in that time my eyes deteriorated even more and I got to the point I couldn’t wear contacts due to irritation. I went to see Dr Kumar and after a long three months of not wearing contacts, having steroids and antibiotics for my eyes, I got to a place where my eyes just scraped through to be able to have laser. It was amazing! It’s done in less than two minutes, and there is no pain during and absolutely not at all painful afterwards. I wish I had done it sooner. He has changed my life as I relied on glasses or contacts on a daily basis. His staff at his clinic are so polite and welcoming and patient, he has the best of the best working in his clinic and you’ll feel right at home with them. Dr Kumar has a great bedside manner and he is caring and honest and sides on the side of caution. He has changed my life and I am so grateful that I found him. If you are thinking about laser eye surgery, do it. It will be the best thing you ever do.

    Gina, Sam and Dr Kumar are an excellent team. I would have no hesitation recommending them. They all perform their roles very professionally. Dr Kumar has demonstrated both technical proficiency in diagnosing and operating on my eye condition, but also showed care and compassion in his handling of my case and his communication with me. He and Sam are always willing to endure my endless questions to understand what was going on. As for Gina, every now and then in life you meet someone who is clearly in the right job - Gina is one of those people. Always happy, friendly and very knowledgeable in helping to explain the treatment process and how the payments all work (health fund, medicare, etc). To all 3, thanks for looking after me so well.

From day 1 till the end, I knew i was in good hands. The surgery was painless and I was able to see the next day. I only wish I got it done sooner =) Thank you guys so much! Love your work!

    From start to finish the whole experience was amazing. At 48 years of age I was a little shocked that I needed lens extraction surgery... Post surgery, I wish I had of had it years ago! Results 100% exceptional, I don't think I could have expected a better result. Amazing team and the process was seamless.. A huge thank you to Dr Kumar , Gina and the team.. Steven xx

    My cataract surgery experience was smooth and painless. I was really amazed. I was quite nervous prior to the operations, however, everything was explained to me by those involved which made me feel at ease. I would like to thank Dr. Kumar and his team for the care they gave me. Lastly, and most importantly, I can see very well! Thank you.

    I have been wearing con and glasses since early young age. A few years ago, I have developed severe cataract in both eyes, with severe myopia. I m almost blind. Dr Kumar, Amanda and Gina gave me a new life. After cataract surgery, I don’t even need glasses to read any more. They are godsend to me. I can not thank them enough. They deserve 5 star hands down!

    My wife and I both had the Smile Laser operations at Vision Clinic and we couldn't be happier. One of the best decisions we had made so far. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and professional, the operations went smoothly and our eyes are recovering fast. We got a few checkups to make sure everything is ok. We will recommend Dr Kumar Clinic to our friends and families. And special thanks to Gina for looking after us.

    I cannot thank Dr Nik Kurmer and his team enough, Glaucoma gone then Cataract Surgery on both eyes. Glasses gone even for reading 20/20 vision again. So clear and bright now I would highly recommend this team, just a pity I can only give 5 Stars. Many thanks again Nik

    I was quite nervous about having cataract surgery and vision correction but I needn’t have worried about a thing. Both surgeries were smooth and painless. Dr Kumar is amazing. Thank you Dr Kumar for changing my life. Thanks also to Amanda and Gina for your caring and professionalism.

  • 5/5 Georgia B. 8 months ago on Google
    I recently went through the process of laser surgery with the team at vision Clinic and I could not be happier. I was extremely well looked after from start to finish and the result has been beyond expectations. thank you to Gina, Amanda and Dr Kumar, you were all so accommodating and made the process incredibly seamless. Cannot recommend highly enough for anyone considering an amazing clinic to walk you through the laser eye surgery journey with fabulous results.

    It’s been a week since my ASLA procedure and I am pretty confident my vision is 20/20 now. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing yesterday when I walked into work in the city. Everything was crystal clear - I must have looked like a deer in headlights! Even my boss noticed the “glitter in my eyes”. After issues with recurrent corneal errosion, short sightedness, big chunk of sand in the eye and a toddler poke in the eye, I decided try hit a few birds with one stone. I researched various eye procedures, spoke to a few colleagues and did my due diligence to find the right Opathamologist and team for me. I am glad I found Dr Kumar and his team. Within a week I secured an initial consult and then a couple weeks later I booked my ASLA procedure. Everything was so efficient but informative, which made me comfortable from the beginning! They run a tight and personable ship! The procedure was quick, my recovery was comfortable and my vision is priceless. Thank you Dr Kumar, Gina and Amanda!!!

    I had Smile laser eye surgery with Dr Kumar two weeks ago, I regret to meet Dr Kumar so late, he changed my life. Now I am enjoying my life without glasses. His team is so good and professional, thank you Gina and Amanda.

  • 5/5 Tony L. 1 year ago on Google
    I was referred by my optometrist to see Dr Kumar for further evaluation of my eyes. Dr Kumar is highly professional and takes time to explain my conditions carefully. Dr Kumar also patiently answers all my questions and instantly put me at ease. Gina and Amanda were also highly professional and looks after me during my visit. I would highly recommend Vision Clinic Sydney to anyone who needs an ophthalmologist.

  • 5/5 Danushka S. 1 year ago on Google
    I had my LASIK eye surgery conducted by Dr.Kumar couple of months ago. Now I have 20/10 vision, even better vision than I expected! The whole experience from the beginning to the end with Dr Kumar and his team was amazing! My life has changed for the better without having to wear glasses and wish if I had gotten this surgery done sooner!

  • 5/5 Nicholas H. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal experience from first consultation to surgery to post-op follow ups. Gina and dr Kumar are incredibly kind and informative. The eye surgery was quick and easy and I now have perfect vision. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting laser eye surgery!

  • 5/5 Brandon L. 1 year ago on Google
    I can’t thank Dr Kumar and his team enough for everything. I’ve only just undergone Smile Laser Eye Surgery in the past 2 weeks. Already has it been such a life changing experience. Still recovering but every day my vision at a distance is getting better and better. For anyone considering Smile, if you’re eligible, I can’t recommend it enough. You’ll be in good hands with Dr Kumar.

  • 5/5 Bohdan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Hello Dr Kumar, I was hoping to have my vision improved. Now my vision has improved so much I am truely amazed. Way past my expectations. I cannot remember being able to see so well. Thank you so much for your very good work. I can’t stop looking out the window. One very happy patient. Bohdan.

  • 5/5 Bruna L. 2 years ago on Google
    Dr. Kumar made my dream come true! I've been wearing glasses for 15 years and the surgery made my life 100% better! An excellent surgeon and with a high standard professionalism. I got my both eyes done with ICL method and Dr. Kumar make sure I was comfortable and aware of every step of the process and how to prepare myself for the surgery. Big shout out to the receptionist Gina who has an excellent customer service and is very professional and caring. Amanda was also very lovely and professional when she performed the my eye scans. 10/10 !!

  • 5/5 Sam L. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a SMILE eye surgery with Dr. Nikhil Kumar and was very satisfied with the result. Prior to the surgery, he was being very professional and transparent by describing the procedure in great detail, mentioning possible risks (very very small chance), and what to expect. The surgery went pretty smooth with the right eye and struggled a little bit for the left eye, but even then it was handled quite professionally. The post surgery control appointments were handled very nicely. Gina is pretty responsive to email and Amanda didn't keep me on waiting for too long after arriving there, she usually called me to have a brief conversation where I can describe my updates and concerns, she would then take note and forward it to Dr. Kumar himself so that when we finally meet, he would already have a knowledge of what's happening without needing me to explain twice. Overall am quite happy about the procedure and would definitely recommend Dr. Kumar for any eye surgery!

  • 5/5 Amarah N. 2 years ago on Google
    I was super anxious about this surgery but Dr Kumar, Amanda and Gina made the whole experience amazing and completely put my mind at ease. The staff at Chatswood Private Hospital were also incredible and I have nothing negative to say about any part of the journey. I'm so happy I got the surgery it's changed my life and would 100% recommend Vision Clinic Sydney to anyone thinking about laser or eye surgery. They deserve more than 5 stars!

  • 5/5 Deepak 2 years ago on Google
    This laser eye surgery has completely changed my life, thank you! I have been a glasses and contact lens wearer for 35 years. While I was hesitant about getting this laser correction procedure done because (i) I was worried about the procedure and recovery being painful and (ii) as this is an elective surgery which I have to pay for, at my own expense (instead of going on a holiday). Dr Nilkhil Kumar alleviated all my concerns and I can honestly say, this is one of the best things I have done in my life and I highly recommend it. Dr Nikhil Kumar, completely made me feel at ease. He explained the procedure in detail, and answered all of my questions. I also learnt the equipment he used is outstanding, assisting in making feel confident about the process. Dr Nikhil Kumar's professionalism was very reassuring through the whole process. In the end the whole procedure and recovery was pain free. Whilst it was uncomfortable initially that was for a very short period of time and still pain free during that time. With regards to the cost, I can say it is totally worth every cent. It has completely changed my life. From being unable to walk without reaching for a pair of glasses, to now waking up with 20/20 vision - I highly recommend this procedure to anyone. My only regret was, I wish I had this done 20 years ago, because it is 100% worth it! I would like to thank Dr Nikhil Kumar and his team, your calm approach, professionalism, and outstanding team has made this entire process a huge success, thank you.
