Services
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery corrects refractive errors like short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism through precise corneal reshaping. Our advanced SMILE, LASIK, and LASEK procedures use cutting-edge technology for rapid recovery and minimal discomfort. Patients typically achieve 20/20 vision within days, with 99% satisfaction rates. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes per eye with local anaesthetic.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes cloudy lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses. We offer standard monofocal, toric, and multifocal options to correct astigmatism and reduce glasses dependency. The 20-minute procedure uses local anaesthetic, with bilateral treatment available on the same day for private patients. Over 200,000 procedures performed with 97% patient satisfaction.
ICL Surgery
ICL surgery provides an alternative to laser treatment by implanting corrective lenses without removing corneal tissue. Ideal for patients with thin corneas or high prescriptions, this reversible procedure achieves rapid visual recovery. The 30-minute operation under local anaesthetic offers permanent vision correction with minimal maintenance required.
AMD Treatment
We offer advanced treatments for age-related macular degeneration, including wet AMD injections and dry AMD management. Our specialist consultants use the latest diagnostic tools to create personalised treatment plans. The service combines NHS expertise with innovative therapies to preserve vision and slow disease progression for patients across the UK.
Presbyond
Presbyond laser surgery addresses age-related vision changes by creating blended vision between eyes. This innovative technique corrects distance, intermediate, and near vision in patients over 40. The procedure takes 15 minutes per eye with rapid adaptation, allowing 96% of patients to read small print without glasses after treatment.
