Because you deserve to see the world at its finest.

Mr Danny Mitry  ·  MB PhD FRCOphth  ·  The London Clinic Eye Centre

Hi, I'm Danny Mitry

Your surgeon is the biggest factor in your outcome.

“I've spent my career helping patients in London see more clearly — from removing cataracts that have clouded daily life, to sight saving retinal surgery, to correcting vision so sharply that glasses become a thing of the past. Every patient I see is treated as an individual.

My outcomes consistently exceed national benchmarks. More importantly, my patients tell me they feel genuinely looked after — before, during and long after their procedure.”

Mr Danny Mitry  MB PhD FRCOphth  ·  Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon  ·  The London Clinic Eye Centre, 119 Harley Street
