Am I Suitable?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

  • Are short-sighted (Myopic) or Astigmatic
  • Are long-sighted(Hyperopic)or Astigmatic
  • Feel that spectacles/contact lenses are a nuisance in your job, sporting activities or personal life.
  • Are over 21 and have had a stable spectacles prescription over the past TWO years.
  • Have been turned down for treatment by other clinics because your pupils are too big, or your corneas too thin, for standard treatment
  • Have healthy eyes, good general health and are not taking medication that can affect healing

Since our personalised vision treatments remove less tissue than standard LASIK, they can be performed on people previously unsuitable for laser eye surgery - such as those with higher prescriptions, large pupils or thin corneas. Whether you think your spectacles prescription is too weak or too strong, or you have been refused treatment previously through another clinic, give us the opportunity to review what we could do for you - you may be pleasantly surprised.

What Prescription Range can Personalised Vision Treatments Correct?

The limit of what can be corrected varies from person to person, and is ultimately determined by the surgeon. We will only treat you if we are confident that you are suitable and that we can achieve a good result. As a general guide, the Advance VisionCare system can correct:

Laser treatments:

  • Up to -10.00D (short-sight)
  • Up to +5.00D (long-sight)
  • Up to -5.00D CYL (Astigmatism)
  • Up to +4.00D CYL (Astigmatism)

Non-laser Implantable contact lenses:

  • Up to -25.00D (short-sight)
  • Up to +10.00D (long-sight)
  • Up to -5.00D CYL (Astigmatism)
  • Up to +4.00D CYL (Astigmatism)

Every patient is individually assessed by the experienced clinical team and the surgeon, Mr Pillai. Only after this extensive consultation can an accurate analysis be made as to your suitability and results. If you would like to discuss your suitability before coming for an assessment then call Lela, who assists in theatre with Mr Pillai, on 0800 652 4878.

What Laser Eye Treatment Does NOT Correct

We provide the same rigorous pre-screening and high standards of care as with our personalised vision correction treatments. Most people who want the treatment are able to have it, but if not, or your occupation does not allow you to, our expert staff will be happy to discuss the latest alternatives with you including Implantable contact lenses and clear lens extraction.

Your suitability is not normally based on only one parameter such as your prescription but on a combination of reasons. Some conditions are a definite contra-indication but for most people your suitability is a combination of your lifestyle, ocular and general health and expectations for the treatment. If you would like to discuss your suitability with a member of the clinical team, then call Lela on 0800 652 4878.

As a natural part of aging, everyone's eyes, whether normal, short or long-sighted, become presbyopic. This means that in addition to your previous vision correction you will require glasses for close-up activities such as reading. Those people requiring distance vision correction may still benefit from having this laser corrected and may only need glasses for close-up activities. At Advance VisionCare we now offer treatment specifically for middle aged patients with reading glasses, called Conductive Keratoplasty.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding - Hormonal activity during this period can affect the vision. Treatment is possible 4 weeks after finishing breastfeeding

Eye Conditions such as keratoconus, cataracts or uncontrolled glaucoma. Also reoccurring eye infections such as Herpes are a contra-indication.

Uncontrolled Diabetes as it affects the healing after treatment. We may be able to treat well controlled diabetes, not using insulin and no surgery. You would need an assessment with our surgeon to be able to establish suitability.

Total Transparency about our Results

Our procedures have been developed from years of experience in laser surgery and we understand the advantages of total transparency with our clients. Our friendly staff will counsel you on the benefits and any potential complications of the treatment.

Please Note:

Only your surgeon can determine if you are a suitable candidate for Zyoptix, based on appropriate diagnostic tests and your medical history.
