Your eyes are a work of art. Our technology reflects this.

World-class eye care requires world-class technology.  That's why, at Optegra you will find some of the most advanced, high-tech equipment available.

We work with the leading manufacturers and suppliers of ophthalmic equipment and instruments, and constantly monitor and assess the quality and performance of the equipment to ensure that the very highest standards are maintained.

What's more, we consult with our surgeons regularly to gain their views on the latest technology and treatments.  If these experts believe that new equipment has become available that will help them provide even higher levels of care and treatment, we research this carefully and, where appropriate, we make the investment.

Treatment-Specific Technology

Laser Vision Correction:

• Ziemer LDV Femtosecond Laser: A precision laser that allows your surgeon to get to your cornea without the need for a blade. Wavelight CONCERTO excimer laser: The gold standard in laser technology for vision correction. The CONCERTO excimer laser also Includes two wavefront platforms: 'wavefront optimised' and 'wavefront corrected' to correct any abnormalities in the eye and enhance the results of your vision correction.

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE):

• Phakic intra-ocular lens: A tiny focusing lens which works together with the eye's natural lens to give greatly-enhanced vision. It works just like your own lens, allowing you to focus into the distance, at middle distance, such as watching the television, and finally close-up focusing such as reading a book - all without the need for glasses. There are several lenses available, and your surgeon will use the results of your eye examination to assess which lens will give you the best results.

Glaucoma Treatment:

• OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomographer):A new, non-invasive, noncontact, imaging technology to examine the retina, which even enables the surgeon to measure the thickness of each layer precisely. HRT 3 (Heidelberg Retinal Topographer): An incredible imaging system that uses laser energy to measure the three dimensional structure of the retina and optic nerve.

Age Related Macular Degeneration:

• Anti-VEGF drugs: Effective drugs that inhibit the vessel growth that can cause AMD. Drugs include Avastin, Lucentis and Macugen. Intra-ocular Lens for Visually Impaired People (IOL-VIP): Two powerful lenses which can be implanted into a patient's eye to help reflect light to the back of the retina. LMI Lens: The latest and most advanced lens available anywhere in the world to help patients with severe macular degeneration. Tiny mirrors inside the lens help to reflect light to the back of the retina.

Oculoplastics:

• Mohs' micrographic technique: An advanced technique for the removal and analysis of tumours in the eye and eye area. SCC scanners: A high-tech scanning device that will reveal any abnormalities within the eye, even down to the smallest cell.

Retinal Conditions and Diabetic Retinopathy surgery:

• Fluorescein angiography: A dye-tracing method that allows surgeons to examine blood vessels in the retina, choroid, and iris of the eye. OCT retinal scanning: A non-invasive, precision screening tool that enables detailed analysis and diagnosis of retinal conditions.
