Centre for Sight is a London-based medical and surgical eye-care specialist with locations in Sussex, Surrey and London. Centre for Sight was founded by Dr Sheraz Daya, a British ophthalmologist and eye surgeon. The surgery is best known for its pioneering work in the use of stem cell therapy research during sight recovery surgery. Centre for Sight received considerable media attention in 2010 when surgeons restored a man's vision following 10 years of blindness and again in 2012 when a femtosecond laser was used to perform cataract surgery for the first time, in front of a live audience in East Grinsted. One of the company's most well-known clients is Katie Piper, the sulphuric acid attack victim turned television personality.
