Together, we’ll find you the perfect lens

In this video, I explain how we choose the perfect lens to suit your needs and lifestyle

A lens that matches your lifestyle

Why settle for a standard lens when you can have one that enables you to see a range of distances without glasses

A better way to see the world

For many of my patients in North Wales, Cheshire and Manchester, the arrival of presbyopia is a not-so-subtle reminder that you’ve reached middle age. If you’ve worn glasses your whole life, this means adding yet another pair of reading glasses or varifocals to your collection.

Fortunately, however, this natural, yet annoying part of ageing, is easily fixed with premium lenses; often providing you with better vision than you’ve had your entire life.

Life-changing freedom

Premium lenses can correct your prescription meaning that you’ll be able to see a whole range of distances without glasses or contact lenses. My patients tell me that this amazing procedure gave them back a sense of freedom and youthful energy that they thought they had lost but were relieved to regain.

NA more confident you

After the premium lens surgery, my patients feel victorious. They’re so relieved that they made the decision to correct their vision when they did, and only regret that they didn’t do it sooner. The confidence and convenience that comes with spectacle-freedom enable you to throw yourself into any activity or hobby you choose. You’ll no longer have to think about where you last put your glasses again and can live life to its fullest.

Stop waiting and start living

In today’s climate of long waiting lists and uncertainty around treatment options, many people are not getting the clear and personal service they desire. My patients don’t have to wait. Once they’ve decided to move forward with premium lenses, we secure a date in the diary and help you achieve the exceptional results you deserve tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

Premium lenses provide a better range of vision after cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange

If you’d like to know the ins and outs of treatment we have all the information you need below

Who is suitable for premium lenses?

You may be suitable for premium lens implants if you:

  • Are 50 years or over (although exceptions to this may be considered depending on individual circumstances)
  • Have a spectacle prescription for distance or near vision, or both
  • Wish to reduce or eliminate your dependency on glasses or contact lenses

Premium lens implants can be used to improve your distance, intermediate (computer) and near (reading) vision.

Most premium lenses have some concentric rings etched into the surface that allows images at all distances to be focused on the retina.

It can take time for people to adapt to premium lenses. This is called neural adaptation, and it is very normal.

Advantages

Premium lenses used in lens replacement surgery or cataract surgery have an advantage over laser eye surgery as they can give a permanent solution with unaided distance and near vision.

An additional benefit of premium lenses for presbyopia is that you won’t have to worry about developing cataracts later in life.

Over the past few years, technology has improved and now there are a variety of premium lens implants. Depending on your lifestyle, spectacle prescription and preferences, I will select the best lens implant for you.

Disadvantages

Premium lenses are designed to reduce your dependency on spectacles and contact lenses. However, some people find that reading small print or seeing things very close can be a little challenging. This is corrected by reading glasses for these specific activities.

Some people can be aware that reading in dim light can be more difficult.

You can experience glares and halos around lights after dark, which can make driving at night more difficult. This often improves over time as you “neuro-adapt” to the lenses.

Any surgical procedure carries an element of risk. I can discuss these with you at your appointment.

I can use different types of artificial lenses to correct your vision.

  • Extended depth of focus lenses (EDOF) – Used to provide improved intermediate vision such as working at the computer.
  • Multifocal lenses – Used to provide the widest “range” to the vision for distance, intermediate and near activities
  • Toric lenses – These can correct and reduce your astigmatism.

I must discuss the potential options with you to provide you with the most appropriate solution that will achieve your goals.

  • A high-frequency ultrasound probe is inserted into the eye through a tiny incision—the probe “mines” out the natural lens.
  • A clear plastic artificial lens is folded up and inserted into the eye through the same tiny incision.
  • The lens unfolds within the eye to lie in the same position as the old lens.
  • The strength of the implant is calculated before the operation to ensure that it will suit your eye.
  • The tiny incision in the eye seals without the need for stitches.
  • I can also treat your astigmatism at the same time if you wish.

Premium lenses reduce your dependency on spectacles and contact lenses. Unlike standard single-vision (monofocal) lens implants, premium multifocal lens implants are specially designed to provide good vision across the spectrum of varying distances. This should enable you to see well in the distance such as for driving, middle/intermediate range such as using your computer/tablet devices, and near for reading.

Will I still need to wear glasses if you recommend a multifocal lens?

The results will vary depending upon your level of vision, eye anatomy and lifestyle. Some patients find it more comfortable to wear reading glasses to read the small print when lighting conditions are dimmer or when driving. Most people, however, can conduct many of their day’s activities, hobbies and interests without depending on glasses and contact lenses, and only occasionally need to wear glasses.

Yes, I’ve worn glasses my whole life

Yes, but I’m new to glasses

If you’re new to glasses, buckle up because the frustrations have only just begun. Presbyopia (the loss of near vision as you age) means you’ll now depend on glasses for even the most minor of tasks.
