Over
Modern cataract surgery allows correction of shortsight, longsight, and astigmatism, and can provide distance and reading vision without the need for glasses. Your conversation with your surgeon should ask how these issues will be addressed, how familiar they are with advanced technology lenses, and what will be done if a perfect outcome isn't achieved. You should also be aware that all UK health insurers only cover the most basic type of monofocal lens implant which matches what is available in the NHS and not more advanced lens types.
Delivering exceptional outcomes requires surgeons that are familiar with advanced technology lens implants in clinics that are backed up by state of the art technology that allows exacting precision. An ability to enhance visual outcomes by laser is also essential to be able to deliver exceptional results. Mr Angunawela uses the latest lens technologies including Rayner Galaxy, Alcon Panoptix, Hanita Intensity and BVI Serenity lenses in 90% of his patients. The OCL Vision clinic was awarded Best in Healthcare Outcomes in the prestigious Laing Buisson Awards 2024.
