Laser Eye, Lens & Retinal Surgery with trusted Moorfields consultants

OCL Vision was established by some of the UK’s leading eye surgeons. One of our surgeons is also a consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital where they may see and treat private patients.

*OCL Vision™ and Moorfields Private Eye Hospital are independent of each other. Consultants employed by Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Trust are able to see and treat private patients at Moorfields Private facilities. Consultants that practice at OCL Vision and at Moorfields Private may have their consultations administered by OCL Vision but the two private patient service providers remain separate entities.

Moorfields Private

Moorfields Eye Hospital is one of the world’s leading ophthalmic centres of excellence. Together with the University College London, it is also the leading ophthalmic research institute pioneering advances in treatment of eye diseases. Established in 1805 Moorfields Eye Hospital is one of the oldest eye hospitals in the world and is a centre of specialist expertise for the UK.

Our surgeons who have NHS consultant appointments at Moorfields can be consulted and treat laser eye surgery, lens, corneal and retinal patients at Moorfields Private. These surgeons may also opt to perform surgeries at Moorfields where general anaesthesia is required, although the majority of surgeries we provide at OCL Vision can be performed at our Central London advanced surgical facility under local anaesthesia and sedation.

What is laser eye surgery?

Laser eye surgery is a term used to describe a collection of procedures

It commonly corrects short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hypermetropia), astigmatism and reading vision problems (presbyopia).

Different techniques are used to correct each condition. These corrections are achieved through the use of a laser which reshapes the cornea (the transparent part) and adjusts the focus of the eye. Laser eye surgery is a brief procedure and is entirely painless due to the application of anaesthetic drops.

Apart from laser eye surgery, OCL Vision offer a range of other life-changing procedures, ranging from cataract surgery to lens replacement surgery.
