Quick and effective procedure to restore clear vision by removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Takes around 20 minutes under local anaesthetic eye drops. Options include standard (monofocal), enhanced (toric for astigmatism), and advanced (multifocal) packages.

The most popular type of laser eye surgery. Uses advanced computer technology in a fast, painless, completely blade-free procedure to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism, and wavefront abnormalities. Takes around 15 minutes with results in as little as 24 hours. 96% of patients achieve desired vision.

A type of laser eye surgery often used as an alternative for those not suitable for LASIK (e.g. corneas too thin or flat). The surface layer of the cornea is loosened and folded back, then an Excimer laser reshapes the cornea surface. Recovery is slower than LASIK but results are comparable.

Advanced, minimally invasive, bladeless keyhole laser eye surgery using Carl Zeiss VisuMax laser. No flap is created, making the eye more comfortable post-operatively. Can correct higher degrees of myopia with or without astigmatism. Takes less than 15 minutes with 80% vision improvement within hours.

A laser procedure to eliminate the need for reading glasses, ideal for those over 40 struggling with near focusing (presbyopia). Uses wavefront laser to sculpt corneas for blended vision: dominant eye for distance, non-dominant for near. Painless, 30-minute procedure similar to LASIK.

Advanced vision correction procedure replacing the eye's natural lens with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Same surgical technique as cataract surgery but for patients with clear lenses seeking long-term correction of age-related vision changes. Ideal for patients over 50. Prevents future cataract development.

A biocompatible Collamer lens implanted between the iris and natural lens to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Does not require removal of corneal tissue or cause dry eye. Provides UV protection. Routine outpatient procedure taking approximately 8 minutes per eye. Excellent alternative to LASIK.

Simple laser treatment to restore clear vision after cataract surgery when the lens capsule becomes cloudy (Posterior Capsule Opacification/PCO). Fast, painless, and highly successful with most patients noticing clear improvement soon afterwards.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Non-invasive light-based treatment using a comfortable eye mask to support retinal cell function. Painless with no recovery time. Available for patients with early to intermediate Dry AMD. Clinical studies show improvements in visual function, retinal structure, and blood flow.

Treatment for Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration using anti-VEGF injection therapies (ranibizumab, bevacizumab, aflibercept, faricimab). Injections block VEGF protein to stop growth and leakage of abnormal blood vessels. Quick procedure (less than 20 seconds). Available on the NHS at Manchester and Yorkshire hospitals.

Consultant-led glaucoma diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment through the NHS. Uses advanced techniques including eye drops, iStent treatment, and SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) to reduce eye pressure and protect vision. Available at Manchester, Bradford, and North London Eye Hospitals.

Cataract surgery available through NHS partnership at most Optegra clinics. Now offered as drop-free cataract surgery. Patients can request referral from their GP or optician to Optegra. Typically treated within 2-4 weeks of referral.
