OUR TREATMENTS
We fix bad eyesight with world class treatments that are safe and effective
Whether reading your smartphone or a newspaper, if you have to read the text at an ever-increasing distance, then here is the vision impairment in the close range. Presbyopia onsets at around 45 years of age, when reading and viewing close objects becomes increasingly more difficult. Reading glasses are then needed to see clearly. People who already wear glasses for distance vision, then need a second pair; or progressive lenses.
Trifocal-/ Multifocal Lens Surgery
We implant the latest generation of trifocal/multifocal lenses to give you clear near, middle and distance vision. This is a first-class method of correcting your presbyopia and enables you to live life long without glasses.
You can feel safe with us: LEC London as member of EuroEyes has performed the most trifocal lens implantations worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
The first step is an initial consultation and examination. At the initial consultation we see if you are a suitable candidate, which method fits your eyes best, and how much the cost will be. If you are a suitable candidate and decide to proceed with a vision correction, the next step is the big preliminary examination. At this preliminary examination you need to have taken at least a 1 week break from soft contact lenses, and a 2 week break from hard contacts. We will also dilate your pupils with eye drops on the day of the examination to look into the background of your eye.
Please bring your sunglasses, as you can be slightly sensitive to glare after this appointment. For the appointment you should plan for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The eye drops that we use to keep dilation usually last approximately up to 24 hours, which means that you can no longer drive your car or any other vehicle on that day. Within the following six weeks, we will then carry out the correction. After the surgery a minimum of 3 follow-up examinations are required. One day after surgery, one week after, and a monthly check.

Due to local anesthetic eye drops, you will only feel a light pressure during the treatment. Rarely, minor pain can occur after the treatment and is expressed through tears and foreign body experience. After the treatment you will be given an emergency number that you can reach the doctor on duty after the treatment, who will then tell you what to do.
The risk of complications is very low, thanks to the high quality and hygiene standards at EuroEyes. Real complications are extremely rare. To ensure an optimal healing process, it is extremely important that the patient comes to the follow-up exams, and meets the exact specifications of schedule for eye drops that follows the instructions they received from us after the treatment. The side effects that can occur with laser vision correction are typically only temporary and harmless, and are fully treatable.
Is there a risk of blindness? No. There is zero risk of blindness because we treat the top layer of the cornea and never get in contact with the optic nerve.
