Care From a Specialist Who Has Seen It All Before
Mr Patel has spent more than 30 years looking after people's eyes. He trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital, the most respected name in British eye care, and has been an NHS consultant at Colchester Hospital since 2009, where he leads the retinal research unit.
When you see him privately at Oaks Hospital in Colchester, you get that same expertise with more time, shorter waits and his full attention.
Specialist Treatment, Proven Thousands of Times
The treatment is minimally invasive, designed to restore clear vision while preserving the eye's natural structures. During your consultation, we'll recommend the most suitable intraocular lens (IOL) based on your lifestyle and visual needs. In addition to standard monofocal lenses, JIGS offers a range of personalised premium lens options, including multifocal lenses, which can reduce dependence on glasses for both near and distance vision.
