Mr Alex J Shortt - Consultant Cataract, Cornea and Laser Eye Surgeon Avis 

I. was more than satisfied with the treatment and help I received . Mr Short was excellent , I arrived for my consultation very worried and left completely relieved of any concerns , the best consultant I have ever been to by far .

I couldn't be happier to have Mr Shortt as my surgeon - he is professional, highly knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel at ease. I felt able to fully trust Mr Shortt with my eyes and he has done an excellent job. I was able to discuss any questions and concerns with him e.g. I have some residual glare noticeable at night time which Mr Shortt fully explained is normal and can take a short time to settle. I felt reassured and supported by him every step of the way and I have already recommended him to my friends and colleagues. Thank you!

Very helpful and understanding, thanks for a great consultation

Alex Shortt brought me out of the "twilight" world that I had been living for so many years when he performed lens replacement surgery on both of my eyes in May. Not needing spectacles after 60 years of wearing them is truly incredible.

Received a second opinion from Mr. Shortt regarding eye health - great experience.

Lovely & caring service from Mr Alex Shortt.

Dr. Shortt was great - extremely reassuring, professional and a lovely guy. I would highly recommend using him if you're thinking of having laser eye surgery.

M Shortt was very courteous, professional, thorough and knowledgeable, His advice was pragmatic and clear. No hesitation recommending him. Also responded quickly to a follow up question via email.

Most attentive and compassionate. Highly recommended.

The treatment I received from everyone at Optegra was first class and they made it possible for me to say goodbye to my 5 different pairs of glasses forever.

Good attention for cataract operation, helpful advice for further treatment.

Mr Shortt has been for a number of years now, and continues to be wonderfully caring and attentive to my father. His thorough approach and excellent care, means we always feel in safe hands.
Highly recommended,

Hello Optegra team,
Everything is fine.
And I would just like to thank all your team for a wonderful job.
I am very happy with the result.
Mr Alex J Shortt is the very best doctor I ever met.
I will recommend Optegra to my family and friends.
Thank you very much.

'd been putting off cataract surgery for nearly a year even though my vision was blurred and I was having to use increasingly stronger glasses but I was just too scared to contemplate eye surgery. When I finally bit the bullet and underwent cataract removal with Dr shortt I was amazed at how quick and totally painless it was. If I had known it was going to be so easy I never would have delayed treatment. Now my vision is excellent, I no longer need glasses and the recovery was superquick - I'm totally elated with the results!

Dr Shortt was welcoming, professional and very good at communicating the diagnosis and treatment options. Highly recommended.

A very clear and concise explanation of what was going to happen.Very friendly and easy to understand.Expecting very good treatment when it gets underway in January/February 2018.

comprehensive, took time to go over all my concerns/questions without seeming rushed and gave honest assessment in my best interests

I met Mr Alex Shortt for a consultation for lens replacement surgery, he was friendly very informative and answered any questions I had regarding the procedure without making me feel rushed. I had been to a different company previously for a consultation but was not impressed.I am now waiting for my procedure later this month with Optegra as all the staff from the moment you walk in the door are friendly and wellcoming.

I only visited Optegra for the eye assessment and had a preliminary discussion with Mr Alex Shortt. I am still deciding whether to have surgery at Optegra.
I was very happy with the helpful discussion I had with Mr Alex Shortt and would not hesitate for him to do my cataract operation. (The 4 stars are for him).
However, I can not say the same for Optergra's admin staff. The communication inside the office is bad resulting in getting mixed messaged regarding appointments and what to expect. Some of the staff are rather bossy.
Also, I don't understand why is the surgery at Optegra more expensive than in other clinics in Harley street.
