Restore the Natural Look and Function of Your Eye with Our Custom Iris Implants

Get Ready for Your OCL Vision Consultation
To help you feel comfortable and make the most of your visit, we’ve outlined a few simple steps to prepare for your consultation at OCL Vision. Please take a moment to review them before your appointment.

1. Book Your Appointment 

Submit an enquiry through our website or call our team on 0203 369 2020. We will guide you through the booking process and take payment of a deposit or full consultation fee, depending on your appointment type. 

2. Discontinue Contact Lenses 

Please stop wearing contact lenses on the day of your consultation at a minimum. Some lens types may require a longer break, and our team will advise you accordingly based on your lens type. 

3. Access Your Patient Portal 

You will receive secure login details to access your personal OCL Vision patient portal. Here, you can view appointment times, payment balances and important updates. 

4. Plan Your Travel 

Your eyes will be dilated during the consultation, so you will not be able to drive afterwards. Please arrange alternative transport or speak to us about our travel concierge service if you need assistance. 

5. Bring Sunglasses 

Dilation can make your eyes sensitive to light for several hours. Sunglasses will help protect your eyes and make you more comfortable on your journey home. 

Your initial visit to OCL Vision is designed to be thorough, personalised, and reassuring. During your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed assessment of your eye health, along with expert guidance on the best treatment options for your individual needs. The entire appointment takes approximately 1.5 hours and typically includes the following steps:

1. Check-In at Reception 

On arrival, our friendly reception team will welcome you and confirm your details before guiding you through the next steps of your visit. 

2. Advanced Diagnostic Testing 

You will be seen by one of our highly trained clinical technicians who will carry out a series of advanced diagnostic scans using the latest technology. These tests provide a detailed picture of your eyes and are essential for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment planning. 

3. Visual Assessment with an Optometrist 

Next, you will meet one of our expert optometrists for a full visual assessment. This includes measuring your vision, eye pressure and refraction to ensure we have a complete understanding of your visual needs. 

4. Consultant Consultation 

You will then meet with the consultant you originally booked with. They will review your scan results and visual assessment, discuss your goals and expectations, and explain any suitable treatment options. You will have time to ask questions and receive expert advice tailored to your individual case. 

Your surgery day at OCL Vision is designed with your comfort, safety, and peace of mind in mind. From the moment you arrive, our expert surgical team will be there to guide and support you, ensuring you feel calm, well-informed, and fully cared for at every stage of the process.

1. Meet Your Nurse 

You will be greeted by one of our specialist nurses who will administer your pre-operative eye drops, explain your aftercare instructions and answer any final questions. You will also receive a take-home bag containing everything you need for recovery, including eye drops, shields and helpful guides. 

3. Final Discussion with Your Surgeon 

Before the procedure begins, your surgeon will speak with you to confirm the treatment plan and give you an opportunity to ask any final questions. 

4. Undergo Your Procedure 

You will then be taken into our state-of-the-art operating theatre for your surgery. Our team will ensure you feel at ease throughout, and the procedure itself is typically quick and painless. 

6. Heading Home 

Once you are ready, you will be discharged with your aftercare pack and clear instructions. You will need someone to accompany you home, as you will not be able to drive, or speak to us about our travel concierge service if you need assistance. 

We believe your recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. That’s why our dedicated team is here to support you throughout the healing process. Your aftercare plan is carefully tailored to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible long-term results for your vision.

1. Follow Your Aftercare Instructions 

Use your prescribed eye drops exactly as advised, and follow the guidance given to you on surgery day. This helps to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. 

2. We Are Here If You Need Us 

If you experience any discomfort, unusual symptoms or concerns after your procedure, please contact us right away. You will have access to our dedicated emergency line for immediate support. 

3. Attend Your Follow-Up Appointments 

Your follow-up visits are essential for monitoring your healing and progress. Appointment details are visible in your patient portal. If you need to rearrange, simply contact our team and we will be happy to help. 

4. Refer a Friend and Be Rewarded 

You’ve experienced world-class care at OCL Vision, now it’s time to share it. When you refer a friend or family member, they’ll receive £200 off their surgery, and you’ll get a £25 Amazon gift voucher as a thank you once they’ve completed treatment. Because great vision is worth sharing.
