Technology

Eye surgery relies on technology for precision, safety, and outstanding results. The difference between average and OCL is in exceptionally trained surgeons and state of the art technology. One complements the other. We have spared no expense in providing you with the world’s best technology.

Technology

Schwind Amaris 1050RS excimer laser

Considered the world’s most advanced excimer laser for vision correction. The Schwind Amaris is equipped with 7 dimensional eye tracking for precise delivery of laser pulses with compensation for the slightest eye movement during surgery. This allows precise correction of astigmatism as well as short-sight and long-sight. Smart-pulse technology leaves the smoothest possible corneal surface leading to exceptional visual quality. TransPRK is a no-touch alternative to LASEK which heals faster and with less discomfort. This laser allows for wavefront optimized, wavefront guided and topography guided treatments.

We are the only clinic in London to have the Z8 Femto LDV laser, offering the highest repetition rate of any femtosecond laser with overlapping, precise spots with the lowest most gentle energy delivery of all laser systems. This avoids the formation of opaque bubbles during LASIK flap creation which aids accurate eye tracking and results in rapid visual recovery. The Z8 is also used for laser corneal transplants and for keraring/intac surgery for keratoconus

The Z8 is also the only laser to have pupil tracking capability and astigmatic control for lenticular extractions (SMILE) flapless keyhole LASIK

Schwind Peramis Wavefront Scanner

Wavefront abberometers allow laser surgeons to precisely analyse the optics of the visual system. The Peramis aberrometer has three to six times higher resolution than other commonly used systems. This exceptional performance is based on a high-resolution pyramidal wavefront sensor that measures ocular wavefront aberrations with an unequalled 45,000 measuring points.

Together with the integrated high-resolution topography with placido technology, this allows for extremely accurate assessment of corneal and ocular aberrations. This data allows OCL surgeons to individually customise the wavefront based correction of your vision. Corneal wavefront analysis allows our surgeons to correct abnormal corneas and can be used in the treatment of keratoconus.

Ziemer Z8 Femto LDV laser cataract surgery

OCL are the only clinic in London to offer state of the art laser cataract surgery with the Z8 laser. Z-cataract surgery allows safe, repeatable, precision incisions and lens fragmentation for cataract surgery.

Avedro rapid corneal crosslinking for keratoconus

At OCL we use the Avedro rapid crosslinking system for treatment of keratoconus and can combine this with corneal topography guided laser epithelial removal to improve corneal shape. The Avedro system is proven to halt the progression of keratoconus in over 90% of cases.

Pentacam HR

The Gold Standard in anterior eye segment tomography. Since its introduction in 2002, the OCULUS Pentacam® has proven itself indispensable and has come to represent the “Gold Standard” worldwide. Contact-free Pentacam® measurement provides the basis for precise and reliable diagnostics and successful treatment of the cornea. This technology is indispensable in the assessment of people for laser eye surgery and keratoconus.

Optovue Optical Coherence Tomography

The Optovue OCT further expands the role of OCT in clinical practice and gives you the ability to visualize cross sections of the cornea, see and measure corneal angles, measure and track corneal thickness over multiple visits, and calculate IOL powers in post-refractive surgery patients with exceptional resolution

Zeiss Lumera operating microscope with Callisto virtual guidance system

OCL uses the latest Zeiss Lumera microscope for cataract and lens replacement surgery. The integral Callisto system in this microscope provides intelligent real time image guidance for incision and toric lens alignment for better management of astigmatism during surgery

Optimis Fusion combined SLT YAG laser

OCL have the latest generation SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) laser for treatment of glaucoma. SLT laser treatment has been shown to be more effective than drop treatments for glaucoma and can avoid the need for drops in most patients.

The Optimis Fusion YAG laser allows effective treatment of posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery.

Lenstar Optical Biometer with artificial intelligence

Precise results in cataract surgery depend on accurate lens implant prediction. At Ophthalmic Consultants of London, we use the Lenstar optical biometer with artificial intelligence technology using the Hill-RBF method as standard practice for lens calculations in patients having refractive lens exchange and cataract surgery. This significantly improves the accuracy of lens power prediction. In keeping with our ethos of staying at the cutting edge and offering the very best for our patients, OCL consultants are amongst an elite group of surgeons now able to offer an unsurpassed level of accuracy and greater predictability with regards to clinical outcomes for our patients.
