How Young Is Too Young For Laser Eye Surgery?
As well as all the obvious advantages of being without glasses or contacts, Laser Eye Surgery is also one of the most sensible economic investments you can make. The procedure will eventually pay for itself by avoiding the costs of regular visits to the opticians, contact lenses and solutions, and not least all those broken glasses and designer frames. All this means that the biggest financial savings to be made are by those who have LASIK when they are young. But that… Read more
Eyes wide open: “Do I really have to be awake during Laser Eye Surgery?”
If Laser Eye Surgery didn’t scare you enough thanks to its unfortunate name, then the fact that you have to be awake during the entire thing should do it. In fact, surveys have shown that this is one of the most common reasons people decide against treatment, even before having an initial consultation. The fact is most surgical procedures require anaesthetic, and other than a few numbing eye drops, Laser Eye Surgery is performed whilst patients are fully conscious. Just like its… Read more

For a private clinic, we’ve had our fair share of recognition and notoriety over the years.

We don’t say this to boast. The fact is, although all this praise and fame is great, and it has undoubtedly helped… Read more

When you hear that Laser Eye Surgery is performed over fifteen thousands times every year in just the UK, it’s difficult to really get a sense of what that means. That’s thousands of people’s who’ve had their lives transformed in pretty much an instant. Young and old people, mothers and daughters, charity workers and CEOs; they all suffered in one form or another from poor vision, and Laser Eye Surgery was able to help them all live freer and fuller lives. To help… Read more

13:33 Joseph PenningtonCan I talk to a patient who has had Laser Eye Surgery?
It doesn’t matter how many people have had Laser Eye Surgery in the past, there’s always new questions being asked: “Can I do a presentation straight after the surgery?” “What happens if I get cramp during the procedure?” “I know I’m not supposed to wear perfume on the day, but what about Chanel?” Sometimes they can be answered with a simple yes or no, other times they require a little more explaining. But a lot of the time they can’t be resolved by either.… Read more

09:35 Joseph Pennington[VIDEO] Would you try Laser Eye Surgery?
Given the opportunity to have Laser Eye Surgery would you take it? Just think.

Still on the fence? How about if it was with one of the world’s most experienced and most accomplished laser eye surgeons, using only the most advanced measurement and… Read more

18:32 c13adminTen people you may know that have had Laser Eye Surgery
TV celebrities, film stars, high flying business people, famous athletes; you could be easily fooled into thinking the reason they always have the best care is a purely financial one. The fact is, the rich and famous are not much different from the likes of you and me (though it’s hard to believe at times). They eat, sleep, and worry about their health; they struggle with finding free time, and often have problems with their finances. Their process for finding the best… Read more

Once you have committed to having Laser Eye Surgery, the process that follows—choosing a clinic, discovering the right treatment, finding great value, calculating the risks—can often seem overwhelming.

Laser Eye Surgery has become a common procedure among celebrities—Brad Pitt, Tiger Woods, Elton John, Courtney Cox, and Nicole Kidman, are just a few of those who’ve been freed from their glasses or contact lenses. And as you can imagine, these big stars who rely heavily on their vision don’t go to any old clinical practice to have the work done.

It’s no secret that despite almost two decades of doctoring, I am still a terrible patient. But, in December 2013, having toyed with the idea for ages, I decided to take the leap and see if I was suitable for laser eye surgery. While glasses can, of course, be a fashion accessory for some, I would be embarrassed to tell you how many stylish pairs I have sacrificed. Many of my “must haves” have been either lost or squashed, and numerous pairs… Read more
