Combining the expertise of leading ophthalmological specialists, state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and custom-built surgical operating theatres, Custom Vision Clinic is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for their patients. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, the clinic’s revered team work to select the most appropriate techniques to address the unique needs of each of their patients.

Custom Vision Clinic was founded by highly respected consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr James Ball, who holds a wealth of international experience in the field. Known for pioneering techniques beyond conventional high-street options, he is regarded as one of the UK’s leading practitioners of refractive surgery. Mr Jack Gormley, the clinic’s second accomplished consultant ophthalmic surgeon, trained under Mr Ball's expert guidance and has acquired specialised experience in the UK and abroad. He leads the corneal and refractive service at York, where he serves as a consultant ophthalmologist. With specialist surgeons proficient in both corneal and lens-based surgical techniques, the surgical team’s dual expertise allows them to tailor treatments precisely to patients’ needs, ensuring optimal results.
