ORTHO-K
For a patient, myopia (or shortsightedness) means that objects viewed in the distance appear blurred. At what point in the distance the vision becomes blurred depends on the severity of the myopia.
In addition to the negative visual aspects of myopia, it also increases the likelihood a person will develop sight threatening conditions in later life; these include significant increased risk of macular degeneration (50%), retinal detachment (20%) and glaucoma (15%). While laser surgery can address the visual aspect of the problem, it carries it's own risks and does not reduce the risk of these adverse conditions.
Ortho-K allows people suffering from myopia to enjoy a life without lenses or spectacles during the day whilst experiencing clear, natural, corrected vision.
FOR CHILDREN
FOR ADULTS
Myopia is most likely to develop in children whose own parents are short-sighted. There can, however, also be other factors in its development.
Children who use Ortho-K contact lenses can completely halt myopic progression in a proven, safe way.
Further reading and clinical research on this topic can be found at www.myopiaprevention.org
The Ortho-K method is ideal for sporty or active people, people who are worried about the risks of laser surgery and people who find contact lenses uncomfortable or glasses inconvenient.
It is a proven method to effectively correct vision and if a patient decides they would like to wear spectacles again, their prescription returns to what is was at the start with no adverse effects.
DRY EYE CLINICS
Over 50% of people at some stage in their lives will experience dry eye symptoms. These symptoms as well as being related to tear volume are related to tear quality and other eyelid conditions such as blepharitis.
These symptoms include: Itchy eyes or eyelids, gritty sensation in eyes, watery eyes, red eyes, intermittent blurred vision
BlephEx is a new, in-clinic procedure that removes excess bacteria, biofilm and bacterial toxins which are the main causes of inflammatory dry eye and lid disease. With regular treatments, patients finally enjoy a life free from the chronic and irritating symptoms associated with dry eye and blepharitis. Our dry eye clinics offer two tiers of treatment:
STANDARD
One Appointment for a BlephEx treatment
Private: £75.00
COMPREHENSIVE
Three appointments where you receive a range of treatments tailored to address the underlying cause of your dry eye problems. These treatments can include: Blephex treatment, tear osmolality testing - to measure the quality of tears, comparative photography, eyelid wipes, dry eye drops and nutritional supplements
Private £150.00
COLOUR THERAPY
Colour therapy is designed to reduce the symptoms of visual stress (sometimes referred to as Meares Irlen syndrome or scotopic sensitivity). This condition effects people with otherwise perfectly normal vision at rates of 20% moderately and 5% severely. Symptoms include rapid tiring, headaches or eyestrain, movement or blurring of print, letters changing shape or size, fading or becoming darker, patterns appearing and colours appearing through print.
There are two forms of colour therapy available and it is usual for a patient to begin with coloured overlays and have used them successfully before moving on to the more comprehensive colourimetry. Before exploring either of these options, patients are required to first have recently completed an eye examination to first rule out more common ocular problems.
COLOURED OVERLAY
The first and most simple method of assessing the effectivity of colour therapy for a patient by determining if coloured filters are beneficial.
Private: £45.00
Coloured Overlays: £12.00
COLOURIMETRY
This second and most accurate method is for patient who ave already used overlays and results in precisely tinted spectacle lenses.
Private: £60.00
Cerium Tinting: £150
