When you request a free consultation from Optegra, that is exactly what you will get; a free no obligation complementary assessment of your of your eyes in one of Optegra’s specialist Eye Hospitals - No hard sell, no pressure to commit, just all the facts from leading eye experts to enable you to make a truly informed decision in your own time.

When you attend your free consultation, the team will spend around two hours with you examining your eyes in detail with a series of thorough and comprehensive tests and assessments, which will enable us to identify the best treatment for you: either Laser vision Correction, also referred to as Laser Eye Surgery (through LASIK or LASEK surgery) or Refractive Lens Exchange.

Your spectacle prescription will be checked by our Optometrist and your eyes examined with the Wavelight Oculyzer and Analyser. The Oculyzer takes detailed photographs of your cornea, constructing a precise and unique map of its shape. The Analyzer examines a fine ray of light reflected from the eye to identify any wavefront abnormalities.

After the examination you will meet your Consultant Ophthalmologist, who will examine your eyes and discuss in detail your specific requirements.

If after the consultation you don't want to proceed, we respect your decision. If, on the other hand, you'd like to think it over - that's all right too. Either way, you'll leave our consultation assured that you have made the right choice, and we hope that we will have earned your trust to help you take the next step.

In addition to the above, our clinical team will also carry out the following:

Refraction and Visual Acuity (VA) Testing: This is performed to gain a detailed assessment of your current prescription, previous prescriptions and your spectacle strength. Aided by the Autorefactor’s reading, we will confirm the stability of your prescription.

Visual Acuity testing measures your level of vision and looks at your eye’s ability to see close up and far away. You may be familiar with the tests which include reading letters and looking at shapes of different sizes and colours. These will determine your best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), which is how you see with your spectacles.

Non Contact Pachymetry which measures the thickness of your cornea helping to determine your suitability for laser surgery.

Keratometry which measures the corneal curvature of your eye.

Slit Lamp: Your Optometrist or your surgeon uses a powerful microscope and a small beam of light to closely examine your eye, looking at your cornea, conjunctiva, lids, iris and lens.

Retinal Exam: The Optometrist or your Surgeon assesses the health of the inside of your eye using an Ophthalmoscope, particularly looking at your retina.

Topography: A map will be created of the outside and inside of your eye including detailed information about your cornea, anterior chamber and crystalline lens. This allows your surgeon to understand your eye’s individual characteristics leading to better outcomes.
