The needs of each patient dictate the way we employ our Laser Eye Surgery technology.
No two eyes are exactly the same, so our first task is to make sure we understand the finest details of your eyes. A crucial part of this process is using the best technology available to us.
Some Laser Eye Surgery clinics still work with relatively basic and generic measurements, such as your lens prescription and wavefront measurements. We don’t believe this is a good enough basis from which to provide you with world-class Laser Eye Surgery. Instead, based on years of pioneering ophthalmic research and our thoroughly comprehensive screening process, we create individual eye treatment plans tailored precisely to each of your very unique eyes.

London Vision Clinic are the proud owners of one of the world’s only Artemis Insight 100™ scanners.The Artemis Insight 100™—developed as a result of ophthalmic research by Professor Dan Reinstein and a select team of experts—is the most accurate corneal scanner in the world. It’s use has greatly enhanced patient safety and refractive outcomes across the Laser Eye Surgery industry.
Well known for superior imaging and biometric capabilities, this technology enables us to confidently diagnose eye disease earlier than ever before as well as operate on patients who might have otherwise been rejected for laser eye surgery.
In the UK, the Artemis Insight 100 is only available at the London Vision Clinic.

Carl Zeiss Meditec MEL 90 Excimer laser
The Zeiss MEL 90 Excimer laser offers incredibly accurate, auto-stabilised calibrated laser energy delivery. Zeiss was the first laser manufacturer to produce closed-loop energy stabilisation–the patented method of energy stabilisation used by the MEL 90.
This gives it the fastest response time of any laser, without the need for frequent user calibration.
Professor Reinstein was part of the Zeiss team that developed the MEL80 and now the MEL90, which has proven to be the most accurate LASIK laser in the world (according to the rigorous US FDA trials)
CSO Osiris Wavefront Aberrometer
The new CSO Wavefront Aberrometer measures the path that light takes as it passes through the eye. The Osiris has a unique design that enables it to measure aberrations with a resolution of 45,000 points. This is 400 times more the next closest device on the market. The very high-resolution wavefront helps builds a detailed picture of the eye. At the London Vision Clinic, we use the wavefront data to build a custom-programmed treatment for each eye.
Artemis Insight 100™ Ultrasound Scanner
The Artemis Insight 100™ provides the most accurate corneal thickness measurements in the world. Accurate to 1 micron (1/1000mm), it was the result of ophthalmic research by Prof. Reinstein and a select team of bioengineers from Cornell University in New York. The device is more accurate than OCT, tomography or hand-held ultrasound machines. It can map the layers of the cornea as well as measure the internal structures of the eye.
Before surgery, the Artemis Insight 100™ scanner allows for earlier diagnosis of conditions that can affect the outcome and safety of corneal refractive surgery. It is also the most accurate way to measure inside the eye to help improve the sizing for implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery. This technology is currently only available in a handful of clinics around the world.
Carl Zeiss Meditec VisuMax Femtosecond laser
The Carl Zeiss Meditec VisuMax, the latest (3rd) generation femtosecond laser, is more precise and energy-efficient than any other system. The VisuMax is also the only femtosecond laser that does not increase the pressure inside the eye and hence you’ll feel nothing during treatment. Because of its unique accuracy, the VisuMax is the only femtosecond laser that is suitable for the keyhole form of LASIK: ReLEx SMILE. Additional benefits include significantly reduced chance of sub-conjunctival haemorrhages—these are little red marks which can develop in the white of the eye when using older types of femtosecond technology and, although harmless, they are unsightly. The Carl Zeiss Visumax is used as standard in our normal treatment price.
Procyon Pupillometer
The Procyon Pupillometer measures the size of your pupils in a range of lighting conditions. The data this helps to ensure that the treatment we carry out works seamlessly throughout the day and night, avoiding any issues with the dilation of the pupil and low light conditions.
Topography
Topography produces a shape ‘map’ of the front and back surfaces of your cornea. We use multiple topographers to measure the curvature of your eye including the Atlas, Pentacam, and MS-39. All three possess particular strengths in certain aspects of corneal measurement.
