NEWS - 5TH AUGUST 2022
Harley Street Medical Area eye clinic offers downloadable guide to cutting-edge procedures, including cataract surgery and lens replacement
The London Ophthalmology Centre (LondonOC) has launched a new downloadable guide aimed at informing people about how ground-breaking technology is positively impacting eye care, including cataract surgery and lens replacement.
The free guide, Seeing the Future, explains how the very latest technical developments in cataract surgery are revolutionising how people will see in the future. It also features the stories of writers Jane Fallon and Michael Rosen and how their vision was positively impacted by these new procedures and technologies.
Mr Vik Sharma, clinical director of LondonOC, said: “Things are getting smaller, and replacement lenses are getting more precise. As an eye surgeon, compelled to create positive outcomes for my patients, in my opinion we are in one of the most exciting times that I have ever seen for eyes. Technology is bringing us ultimate precision in a minimally invasive surgical environment, providing life-changing optimised results for your eyes.
“But what does this mean for you? If you are having vision problems, if you have cataracts, are worried about difficulties with reading or are juggling glasses you might not be aware of the options that are now available to you. The most advanced of these treatment developments is lens replacement and it is designed to last 100 years. That means your vision is restored perfectly for the rest of your life without glasses. This is life-changing for people who experience it.”
