Glasses-Free with Lens Surgery

Lens surgery—also known as Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) or Clear Lens Exchange—is a highly advanced procedure designed to help you achieve freedom from glasses, reading glasses, and contact lenses. During the treatment, your natural lens is replaced with a premium artificial lens that is carefully selected to match your unique vision needs. Whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism, or are experiencing age-related vision changes, the procedure is tailored specifically for you. In addition to correcting your vision, this surgery is also preventative, as it eliminates the possibility of developing cataracts in the future. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide comprehensive, all-inclusive aftercare for one year, ensuring you are fully supported throughout your recovery journey.

This is what our customers say

Every day, many happy customers walk out the door from Precision Vision and can see life clearly again. Here are some of them.

I am so fortunate to have met Mr Pillai and his staff. I was a bit nervous at having the treatment but was reassured throughout the whole experience. The staff were very kind and personal. They were also very thorough in explaining the ICL process from paperwork to surgery. I felt very comfortable and trusted that my eyes were in the right hands. I would also like to thank the surgeon and all his lovely staff for a professional job and for the care and support I received. It is so amazing to be able to see clearly and not to have to reach out for glasses in everyday life.I am beyond satisfied with the results and would highly recommend ICL; truly a life changing experience! Thank you a thousand times Mr Pillai and your wonderful staff for making my dream come true!

From start to finish I can't fault the service I have received. Before coming, I had had previous consultations with both Optimax and Vision Express and neither came close to the level of care and attention to detail. I put off having treatment for five years as I wasn't happy with the way I was treated by the other companies. After my treatment I really couldn't be happier. Best thing I've ever done.

I felt very confident with the service I received. The eyes are a difficult area to make the decision to go ahead with surgery, but I was reassured at all times and apart from nerves on the day, I was confident that the surgery would be successful. Everybody was very nice, friendly and confidence-inspiring. Everybody seemed to understand the procedures and took an interest. I now have 20/20 vision probably for the first time since I was about 7-8 years old (42-43 years!) and I am enjoying the experience very much. Thank you.

I decided to have treatment because I had been very short-sighted for years and I hated wearing thick glasses. My experience was very good. If they can get someone like me through it, they can help anyone! I can see when I wake up and I can swim etc. I also don't have to worry about eye infections anymore. The service was excellent and I don't think it could be improved.

I had taken sometime to build up the confidence to go for Laser treatment, so I was a little shocked when I was advised the Laser may be problematic and I.C.L (Implantable Contact Lenses) may be a better route. I had a quite strong prescription so was keen to get rid of contact lenses. After researched and reading the literature, I elected to go ahead with the procedure. The day of the surgery came and I went to the clinic. I met the staff and the surgeon who were all excellent. The procedure itself lasted 15 minutes and was a little uncomfortable at times, but 4 hours after the procedure, I could see (although a little cloudy) through my corrected eye. The next day I was virtually back to normal (corrected) vision. A week down the line and my vision is absolutely fantastic! I cannot thank the staff and Mr Pillai enough. As I have read so many times; Why didn't I do this earlier?

What I would say is that I had procrastinated about having laser eye surgery for many years, having been put off the idea by friends and general Opticians. I wish I had not taken any notice of them and had had the treatment at least 5 years ago. When I was recommended by my new Opticians in Thrapston, I felt confident in their track record and expertise and ready to go ahead with the procedure. I had quite a high prescription and have now already reached 20/20 vision through LASIK Wavefront. I would recommend anyone thinking, to go ahead with treatment and improve their quality of life.

The whole experience of my Clear Lens Exchange procedure was amazing. The level of care and attention I received was exceptional. I felt completely relaxed and confident throughout and even though there were several other people having the same procedure as myself, you made me feel like the “only one”.

The whole process is very well organised. The CLE treatment I received was straightforward, painless and most professionally carried out. The lens exchange taking about 15 minutes on each eye, after having worn spectacles for over 53 years, the end result is amazing and highly recommended (although I still need to wear spectacles for reading (+1), the +9 prescription I previously had and being at the limit for wearing varifocal spectacles, meant that I would need to have two pairs of spectacles going forward. Peripheral vision is superb and being able to see others clearly when swimming is a whole new experience. Many thanks.

I had worn glasses for 25+ years. I knew that Laser surgery was not an option as I was very short sighted, I had implantable contact lenses done and am thrilled with the results. My vision is now clearer that it was with contact lenses/glasses. I would highly recommend this treatment to family and friends.

I decided to go for treatment as I had been wearing glasses since childhood. I had been thinking of having treatment for the last 10 years. I knew I was not suitable for Laser so my experience was excellent. The care provided was very good from the very start. I was very impressed with the thorough consultation and the treatment itself was painless and very quick. Having the treatment has changed everything. I can now do a lot more sports. I can enjoy my life a lot better I am very happy. For people with high refractive errors and astigmatism plus amblyopia there is a hope now. Implantable contact lenses are an option which is safer and reversible. I highly recommend it to everyone with this problem it will change your life.

The decision to have my eyes lasered was honestly one of the best decisions of my life. I only wish that I had done it earlier. I was kept informed at every step of the way and at no time was there any pressure to proceed. The procedure was quick and absolutely painless. It took only just over a day for my eyes to return to normal, except of course with their new 20-20 vision! I have honestly forgotten that I was ever short-sighted. I researched my surgeon Mr Pillai and I am certain that I picked the very best practitioner in the field. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any future patients as I have done to all my work colleagues. It is definitely worth paying for the best.

Having worn contact lenses for over 25 years my eyes suddenly became intolerant to gas permeable lenses. My optician suggested I change to soft lenses, whilst these were more comfortable my vision was not good enough and I still had problems with them. Laser eye treatment was not an option for me as my prescription was -11; it was recommended that I have the Lens Replacement operation. I was apprehensive to go through 2 operations, but they have been life changing. They were fantastic right the way through. Everything is explained so you know exactly what to expect. It is wonderful to never have to wear contact lenses again. My distance vision is better than it has ever been. I have now done much more swimming than I have ever done as I can see in the water. I do have to wear reading glasses but this is a small price to pay as I now have much better vision than I have ever had.

Glasses-Free Journey

As a customer, your journey with Precision Vision is safe and predictable. Our thorough and proven process ensures the best results — every time.

Appointment Booking

It all starts by booking an appointment for a examination. You can book online or by phone.

Examination

You will be examined by an optometrist and an ophthalmologist. If you are approved for treatment, a suitable method will be recommended to you.

Surgery

Dr Almousa will perform the Lens Replacement surgery at our surgical clinic in Harley Street. The procedure is quick and only takes 10 minutes per eye.

After the Surgery

Most people return to work the day after their first post operative check up. You will be able to see, but your vision may be slightly blurry.

Recovery

Your vision will continue to improve in the days following the procedure. Most patients quickly notice clearer vision and greater comfort without glasses or contact lenses.

Check-up

These will take place at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 1 year intervals after surgery. Most check-ups are at the beginning of your journey to ensure that your recovery is optimal.

You can become glasses-free with lens surgery.

There is procedure if you want to become free from glasses

Lens Replacement

Lens replacement is a procedure where the eye’s natural lens is replaced. This method is suitable for people over the age of 45 who have developed age-related vision changes, also known as presbyopia, to a significant degree. At Precision Vision, we specialise in this type of procedure. The natural lens sits just behind the pupil and can focus at different distances by changing its shape. As we age, this lens becomes less flexible, making it difficult to focus clearly on objects and text at close range. The new artificial lens, tailored specifically to your eyes and vision needs, solves this problem. There are different types of lenses available, including Monofocal (correcting distance vision) and Multifocal/Trifocal lenses (correcting distance, near and intermediate vision simultaneously). These lenses are available with or without astigmatism correction. As your natural lens is replaced with a premium tailored artificial lens, the procedure is also preventative, meaning you will never develop cataracts in the future. During this examination, we will assess your eyes, your vision and discuss your everyday visual needs so we can help you become free from glasses. Given our lack of affiliation with any manufacturers, we will ensure that a lens best suited to your individual requirements is made to order.

How does the glasses-free procedure work?

The procedure is the same as the one used for cataract surgery, making it the most commonly performed operation in the world. In the UK alone, around 60,000 procedures of this type are performed each year. A small additional benefit of lens replacement surgery is that you do not need to worry about developing cataracts in the future, as cataracts affect the eye’s natural lens—which is replaced during the procedure. In other words, there are several advantages to becoming free from glasses through surgery.

The procedure is painless. On the day of the operation, your eyes will be treated with anaesthetic eye drops. If you feel very nervous, you can also request a calming tablet.

The surgery itself is quick and typically takes about 10–15 minutes per eye. You will be taken into the operating room and asked to lie down on a surgical bed. For the sake of our patients’ comfort and to optimise healing times, it is recommended that both eyes are treated on the same day. First, one eye is treated and all instruments are then replaced before the surgeon proceeds with the second eye.

You will be able to see and move around afterward, but due to the drops used in the procedure, your vision will be slightly blurry for a few hours after surgery, and you will not be able to drive yourself home. You will be able to return to work and resume driving once you have attended your first post-operative check with Dr Pillai, which takes place one day after surgery.

You will attend a follow-up check-up the day after your surgery with Dr Pillai to ensure everything is healing as expected.

In a small number of cases, a corrective procedure may be needed to achieve the optimal result. This is naturally included in the price and is part of your all-inclusive aftercare program.

At Precision Vision London, in these situations we will either correct the vision by performing a laser enhancement or a YAG Laser procedure, both of which are safe and painless procedures, with minimal recovery times.

What results can I expect?

The degree of freedom from glasses you can expect depends on the type of procedure and lens you receive. If you have had a lens replacement, you can generally expect to be free from glasses and contact lenses.

In certain situations, like reading in dim light or performing focused intricate tasks – such as sewing or embroidery – you may find it more comfortable to use a pair of reading glasses to minimise eye strain.

It may take some time for your brain to adjust to the new visual impressions. During this period, you may experience slightly blurred vision, shadows, or halos around bright light sources. This is normal and usually temporary.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are always ready to answer your questions. Here are some of the questions we are most often asked.

What are the side effects of a lens replacement?”

The side effects you may experience after a lens replacement are usually temporary, such as dry eyes. Some people experience halos, which appear as rings around light sources. It varies from person to person whether this occurs and how long it lasts.

It can take up to one year for your vision to reach its full potential.

Can I develop cataract after a lens replacement?

No, it is not possible to develop a cataract as the natural lens is removed and cannot become cloudy. However, posterior capsule opacification (PCO) can develop, this is when cells grow on the capsule which holds the lens. It is often called a "secondary cataract" because it causes similar symptoms, blurry vision. This occurs in about 10% of patients. It can be removed quickly and painlessly with a YAG Laser treatment, and this is included in the price when you have your lens replacement at Precision Vision London.

Are Multifocal/Trifocal lenses like varifocal spectacles or contact lenses?

The optical design of intraocular lenses are completely different to varifocal spectacles. Instead of a patient needing to move their head to adjust the focus, they will be able to comfortably see distance, intermediate and near without having to make any movements. Layered concentric circles are used to correct each form of prescription issue allowing for simultaneous correction of all fields of vision.

Is it safe?

You can feel completely confident about having a glasses-free procedure. Dr Almousa is an internationally recognised surgeon with Fellowships in Oculoplastics, Cornea, Anterior Segment, and Refractive Surgery. He has performed more than 10,000 of these procedures. Before we even assess whether we can help you, we always carry out a thorough preliminary examination to ensure that you are suitable for the treatment. With our 1-year all-inclusive aftercare program, you are covered every step of the way.

Does it hurt?

Anaesthetic drops are used to numb the eye - it is completely painless to undergo a glasses-free surgery.

Will there be restrictions after surgery?

There will be a few temporary restrictions after treatment. Examples include avoiding sports that may cause trauma to the eye, avoiding dusty environments and lifting heavy weights. At your consultation, we will take into consideration your lifestyle and hobbies and advise you accordingly.
