Patients refused standard laser eye surgery due to complex prescriptions can now undergo customised treatment at Specialist Eye Clinic Advance VisionCare.
Advance VisionCare has combined state-of-the-art technology with substantial expertise to provide an individual treatment suitable for more complex prescriptions, which are often turned
down by other clinics.
Unlike standard laser eye surgery, which can only correct simple imperfections such as short/long sight and astigmatism, Advance VisionCare's8217;s personalised treatments also correct
more complex aberrations by providing treatment unique to each eye.
This has enabled them to help many patients refused treatment elsewhere 's8211; and those who had treatment which failed to work.
William Chester underwent three operations over 14 years before coming to Advance VisionCare and finally being able to get rid of his glasses, while Paul Wilmott had four operations on
the same eye before he was able to get rid of his spectacles.
's8220;I just didn's8217;t like wearing glasses,'s8221; says Paul. 's8220;I went to other clinics and they said they couldn's8217;t even see me or if they did they couldn's8217;t
guarantee an improvement. But Advance VisionCare were able to treat me.'s8221;
's8220;We see patients who have decided on laser eye surgery but then find the standard treatments offered by most clinics can's8217;t help them because their prescription is too strong
or too complicated,'s8221; says Mark Braddon, Professional Services Manager at Advance VisionCare.
's8220;Our customised treatment removes more optical imperfections offering better results, with more patients reporting improvements in vision for night driving and better vision in
varied lighting conditions.'s8221;
Using the latest Zyoptix 's8220;Wave Front's8221; technology, Advance VisionCare is able to provide laser treatment to patients who have been turned down for standard LASIK treatment.
's8220;We use the latest technology to detect and map all the tiny optical aberrations within your eyes,'s8221; explains medical director Dr CT Pillai.
's8220;By projecting a pattern of low intensity laser light onto the eye, we create a personalised contour map of any deviations and combine it with other diagnostic measures to create a
personalised treatment plan for each eye.
's8220;The laser is then programmed with these plans to accurately correct vision.'s8221;
Patients will notice improvement in their eyesight immediately after treatment and are able to resume normal activities, including driving within two or three days. Eyes will look normal
the day after treatment, apart from some slight redness.
