A Note from Mark Wevill

I don’t like talking about myself, & this should be about you, my patient. But I know that before choosing the surgeon that you’re going to trust to operate on your eyes you’ll want to know a bit about me. You only have 2 eyes, right? And they are precious.
I am a fully qualified ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) & I aim to provide the highest standard of eyecare to improve my patients’ quality of life. I pursue excellence in my clinical care & surgical expertise & I use advanced & safe technologies. I have a personal approach to my patients. I will give you a tailored treatment to suit your eyes & will be with you during our whole journey together of improving your vision. And I will also educate you to empower you to take control of your eye health.
I believe that a surgeon should have a good head, good hands & a good heart. I don’t like blowing my own trumpet, but I believe I have them all.
A Good Head
The good head comes from good training, lots of experience & good judgement. I decided to dedicate my career to restoring sight when I was working in a remote, rural hospital in South Africa in 1991. Blind cataract patients sang & danced when I took the bandages off their eyes & they could see again! I did the best I could but I knew I could do better. So I undertook further training at one of the best universities in South Africa, the University of Cape Town. By the time I had finished, I had done over a thousand eye operations & went on to be awarded a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1995.
Later I was awarded the Certification in Laser Eye Surgery from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists & did further training at the University of Ulster receiving more postgraduate qualifications in lens & laser vision correction surgery. So I have done all the training in vision correction surgery that I can do in the UK.
I’ve also now done over 20 000 lens & laser treatments to correct focus errors of the eye. This combination of comprehensive training & lots of experience has given me the good judgement I need to take care of you & produce good results.
Good Hands
I have good hands. I’m good at sports, which takes dedication, balance & always striving to improve. I enjoy racing kayaks. The narrower & more unstable the kayak, the faster it goes. The sport requires high levels of co-ordination, balance & stamina & I work hard at it, striving to improve. In the same way I have worked hard at improving my surgery skills for more than 20 years.
A Good Heart
I have a good heart too. Just as my first patients in that rural African hospital moved me, I care about all my patients. I appreciate the many kind words my patients have written in their reviews.
And I continue to care for patients in Africa. I ‘ve supported eye clinics in developing countries in Africa for over 30 years including South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania & Gambia. I work with the amazing, capable & committed Medical Missions Eswatini surgeons & nurses in the kingdom of Eswatini, Southern Africa.
If you would like to meet me, please book an appointment & let’s talk about what we can do to improve your most precious sense, your vision.
Yours sincerely,
A little more about me
I’ve featured in TV programs & articles in national & regional newspapers. I’ve been invited to give presentations to my colleagues at over 30 international & national surgeon conferences & written chapters in textbooks about cataract & laser surgery that other surgeons refer to.
And I’ve had laser eye surgery myself & so have my family.
I believe in it and the results are amazing.
