At Precision Vision London, your vision is in the safest hands. Led by Dr C.T. Pillai, an award-winning refractive surgeon with extensive international training, we deliver outstanding outcomes for astigmatism using precision diagnostics, world-class laser platforms and individually tailored treatment plans.
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens has an irregular curvature, causing vision to become blurred or distorted. Unlike normal corneas, which are spherical, astigmatic corneas typically have an oval or rugby ball-like shape, which prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina and results in unclear vision. Treatment options include traditional spectacles, contact lenses, or advanced surgical interventions such as LASIK to reshape the cornea.
Situated in Harley Street London, Precision Vision London offers bespoke eye treatments including LASIK and LASEK procedures. Under the leadership of esteemed surgeon Dr CT Pillai, we prioritise individualised care over high patient volumes to achieve superior outcomes. Our specialisation in laser eye surgery helps patients achieve spectacle independence, focusing on a personalised and expert approach to vision correction.
At Precision Vision London, we offer a range of advanced treatments to correct astigmatism and restore sharp, 20:20 vision. Our treatments, whether non-surgical or surgical, are designed with your safety and comfort in mind and are proven to be effective in reducing dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Laser eye surgery, such as LASIK or LASEK, is a trusted and precise procedure that uses guided lasers to reshape the cornea. This gentle process allows light to focus correctly on the retina, correcting astigmatism, short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and even presbyopia. It offers lasting visual clarity with a quick recovery time, ensuring safety and comfort for our patients.
For patients with thin corneas, dry eyes, or strong prescriptions, ICL surgery offers a cornea-preserving solution. The EVO Visian ICL involves placing a soft, biocompatible lens inside the eye to correct astigmatism and other refractive errors. This reversible treatment provides high-definition vision and long-term comfort without permanently altering the cornea.
Lens Replacement Surgery, also known as Refractive Lens Exchange, is an ideal solution for individuals over 45 or those with both astigmatism and early signs of cataract. This procedure replaces the natural lens with a high-performance intraocular lens implant, providing permanent correction for refractive errors while preventing future cataract development, offering a comprehensive solution for vision correction.
Yes. Astigmatism can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. The most suitable option depends on the type and degree of astigmatism and the health of your eyes. We understand that each case is unique, and we tailor our treatments to your specific needs. Notably, irregular astigmatism caused by an uneven corneal surface or an irregularly shaped lens often cannot be fully corrected with standard spectacles.
At Precision Vision London, our team of experienced professionals offers a full spectrum of solutions, including advanced laser procedures (LASIK/SMILE/PRK) and lens-based treatments (ICL/lens replacement). These can also address astigmatism in combination with short-sightedness or long-sightedness.
Before recommending treatment, we carry out a comprehensive consultation and in-depth diagnostic work-up (corneal topography, wavefront analysis, and high-resolution imaging). This safety-first approach ensures we select the option that provides you with the sharpest, most comfortable vision for your prescription and lifestyle.
Our approach revolves around prioritising your optimal well-being.
Your first point of contact will be with Precision Vision London’s highly trained and knowledgeable patient coordinators.
On the day of your treatment, our clinical team will guide you through the process and address any concerns or questions you may have.
At Precision Vision London, we believe that it is essential to be selective to ensure that every patient has the best treatment to suit their visual and lifestyle needs which is why determining suitability is incredibly important.
Your aftercare begins immediately after treatment when you are taken to the recovery room to relax and, when you are ready to leave, our specialist nurse will examine you before you go home.
Astigmatism is a common refractive error caused by irregular corneal or lens shape. Symptoms include blurred vision and eyestrain. An eye exam with our optometrist can diagnose astigmatism.
Treatment options include glasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery like LASIK or Implantable Contact Lenses (ICLs). The choice depends on factors like prescription strength and individual preferences.
Yes, children can have astigmatism. Treatment options for kids are similar to adults and may include glasses or contact lenses. Early detection through routine eye exams is crucial.
Astigmatism can have a genetic component, meaning it may run in families. However, environmental factors such as eye strain or injury can also contribute to the development of astigmatism. If you have a family history of astigmatism or other refractive errors, it's essential to undergo regular eye examinations for early detection and treatment.
Yes, astigmatism can often be effectively corrected without surgery using eyeglasses or contact lenses. These corrective lenses compensate for the irregularities in the shape of the cornea or lens, providing clear vision.
Yes, refractive surgery options like Clear Lens Replacement with multifocal lenses can address both astigmatism and presbyopia, providing clear vision at various distances.
While all surgeries carry some risk, refractive surgery is generally safe. Our experienced surgeon, Dr. C T Pillai, discusses potential risks during the consultation, and comprehensive pre-operative evaluations minimize risks.
It's recommended to have regular eye examinations, typically every one to two years, to monitor your eye health and detect any changes in vision or astigmatism. However, if you experience sudden changes in vision or other concerning symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with an eye care professional promptly.

Piggyback intraocular lenses (IOLs) are an advanced surgical option for patients seeking enhanced vision correction or refinement following cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange (RLE). This innovative procedure involves implanting an additional IOL on top of the existing one to address residual refractive errors or fine-tune visual outcomes.
Before proceeding with piggyback IOL implantation, patients undergo a comprehensive eye assessment to determine candidacy and identify the most suitable lens combination. During the brief outpatient procedure, typically lasting 15-30 minutes per eye, the supplementary IOL is delicately inserted over the primary lens through a small incision.
Recovery from piggyback IOL surgery is generally swift, with minimal discomfort experienced by most patients. Within days to weeks after the procedure, individuals can resume their daily activities, enjoying improved vision and clarity. Post-operative follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing progress and ensure optimal visual outcomes.
While piggyback IOL surgery offers significant benefits in fine-tuning vision, potential risks such as increased intraocular pressure or refractive surprises should be discussed with a qualified ophthalmologist. By collaborating closely with their eye care team, patients can make informed decisions tailored to their specific needs, achieving enhanced visual acuity and quality of life.
After undergoing surgery at Precision Vision, your aftercare begins immediately in the recovery room where you can relax. When you're ready to leave, our specialist nurse will examine you before you go home. Your first post-operative check typically occurs within the first two days of treatment.
Following treatment, you can gradually resume normal activities, but there are restrictions on certain activities. The duration of waiting time before resuming physically exertive or high-risk activities varies, with the longest waiting period being six weeks after treatment. A full list of any applicable restrictions will be discussed during your consultation.
During your first check-up, either Precision Vision’s senior refractive optometrist or lead surgeon will examine your eyes. Patients can usually begin driving 2 to 3 days after surgery, but this will be confirmed during your first post-operative check based on your eye examination and healing progress.
Dryness is common after treatment and may last up to a month, which is normal as part of the healing process.
Precision Vision offers outstanding patient care through its aftercare programme, featuring regular post-operative checks throughout the year to monitor your visual improvement. These checks can take place at the Harley Street clinic or with one of our partner optometrists in our independent network (from 3 months onwards).
Our comprehensive aftercare programme includes:
After undergoing treatment for astigmatism at Precision Vision, your aftercare begins immediately after the procedure, with a recovery period in the clinic's designated area. Once you're ready to leave, a specialist nurse will conduct a thorough examination before you depart. Your first post-operative check typically occurs within the first few days following treatment.
After treatment, you can gradually resume normal activities, although there may be restrictions on certain activities. The duration of the waiting period before resuming physically exertive or high-risk activities varies, with detailed guidelines provided during your consultation.
During your first check-up, either Precision Vision’s senior refractive optometrist or lead surgeon will assess your eyes. Depending on your individual healing progress, driving may be permitted within a few days following treatment, as confirmed during your initial post-operative check.
Dryness is a common occurrence after treatment for astigmatism and may persist for up to a month as part of the normal healing process. Precision Vision offers a comprehensive aftercare program featuring regular post-operative checks throughout the year to monitor your visual improvement. These checks can be conducted at the clinic or with partner optometrists in the network, starting from three months onwards. Our aftercare program includes prescription drops, regular postoperative checks, access to a wide optometrist network, free fine-tuning within the first year, and a commitment to one year of aftercare support.
A treatment plan for astigmatism typically begins with a comprehensive eye examination by an optometrist or ophthalmologist to assess the severity and nature of the condition. Based on the findings, corrective lenses such as eyeglasses or contact lenses may be prescribed to compensate for the irregular curvature of the cornea or lens. Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor any changes in vision and adjust prescriptions accordingly.
For those seeking a more permanent solution, refractive surgery like LASIK or PRK may be considered after discussions with an eye care professional. Additionally, maintaining good eye health practices, including protecting the eyes from injury and practicing proper hygiene when using contact lenses, is crucial for managing astigmatism effectively. Adjustments to lifestyle factors such as screen time and lighting conditions can also help alleviate symptoms of eye strain and fatigue associated with astigmatism.
After undergoing Collagen Cross Linking treatment at our UK clinic, patients receive comprehensive post-operative care including an eye cover for the treated eye and a regimen of anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and hydrating drops. Our experienced staff provides detailed instructions on the proper usage of these drops to ensure optimal recovery. The first post-operative check, scheduled 4 to 5 days after treatment, involves a thorough examination by our surgeon and removal of the protective lens.
During the recovery period, lasting up to a week, patients may experience discomfort for 2 to 3 days post-treatment, with dry eyes being a common occurrence. Visual fluctuations may persist for 1 to 3 months until the prescription stabilises, necessitating possible adjustments in glasses or contact lenses.
Although most patients achieve stability in vision after this period, minor fluctuations could persist for up to six months post-treatment. Regular post-operative checks, starting from 3 months after treatment, are essential and can be conducted either at our clinic or at one of our optometrist network partners.
Following treatment, patients can gradually resume normal activities with certain restrictions discussed during consultation. Driving is usually permitted once the prescription stabilises and new glasses or contact lenses are obtained. Patients using Kerasoft lenses may resume driving activities sooner, with a waiting period potentially reduced to 5 to 10 days.
Collagen Cross Linking is a non-invasive procedure aimed at strengthening the cornea to halt the progression of conditions like Keratoconus. Each eye undergoes individual treatment, spaced a week apart for optimal recovery. The procedure, lasting approximately 60 minutes per eye, begins with the application of anaesthetic drops to ensure patient comfort. An eyelid guard is then used to prevent blinking while the surgeon delicately applies a weak alcohol solution to soften and remove the upper epithelial cells.
Following epithelial removal, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) solution is meticulously dropped onto the eye's surface, facilitating the Cross Linking process. The eye is exposed to controlled UV light, repeating the process of adding drops and UV exposure as necessary.
Post-procedure, a protective contact lens is inserted to safeguard the eye until the first post-operative check, scheduled four days later. Detailed instructions regarding precautions and medications for recovery are provided by a specialist nurse to ensure optimal healing.Throughout the procedure, patient comfort is prioritised, with anaesthetic drops used to numb the eye.
The meticulous removal of upper epithelial cells and application of Riboflavin solution are performed by skilled surgeons to facilitate the Cross Linking process effectively. The use of protective contact lenses post-procedure aims to safeguard the eye until the initial post-operative check, where progress is monitored and further guidance on recovery is provided by specialists.
Implantable contact lenses (ICLs) offer an alternative vision correction option for individuals with nearsightedness (myopia), particularly those with higher degrees of refractive error. Unlike traditional contact lenses that sit on the surface of the eye, ICLs are surgically implanted inside the eye between the iris and the natural lens. This placement allows for vision correction without altering the cornea's shape, making it an attractive option for those ineligible for laser eye surgery.
The ICL implantation procedure is typically quick and performed on an outpatient basis. Before surgery, thorough measurements are taken to ensure proper sizing and fit of the lens. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the cornea, and the flexible ICL is inserted and positioned in the eye. Patients often experience rapid visual improvement and minimal discomfort following surgery. With proper care and follow-up appointments, ICLs can provide long-term vision correction, offering clear, natural vision for those seeking an alternative to glasses or traditional contact lenses.
Lens replacement treatment, also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE) or clear lens exchange (CLE), is a surgical procedure designed to correct vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, and astigmatism. This surgery involves removing the eye's natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) customised to the patient's needs. Prior to surgery, a thorough eye examination is conducted to assess candidacy and determine the most suitable IOL type.
During the 15-30 minute outpatient procedure per eye, the natural lens is extracted through a small incision and substituted with the chosen IOL.
Recovery typically involves minimal discomfort and patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week post-surgery. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing progress, evaluate vision improvement, and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Lens replacement treatment provides a safe and effective option for vision correction, particularly for individuals unsuitable for other refractive surgeries. Despite potential risks such as infection or vision changes, discussing these factors with an eye surgeon helps patients make informed decisions tailored to their unique circumstances.
Cataracts, the clouding of the eye's natural lens, can significantly impair vision over time. However, effective treatment exists through surgical intervention. Diagnosis involves a thorough eye examination by a professional, including visual acuity tests and lens examination. Once diagnosed, the primary treatment for cataracts involves surgical removal of the cloudy lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Cataract surgery is a safe and outpatient procedure, commonly utilising advanced techniques like phacoemulsification. This method involves breaking up the cloudy lens and removing it through a small incision, followed by implantation of an artificial IOL. Most individuals experience significant vision improvement post-surgery, with minimal discomfort and a short recovery period. Advanced technology lenses are also available to correct vision at different distances, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery.
While cataracts may be age-related, timely surgical intervention allows individuals to regain clear vision and resume normal activities. Regular eye examinations remain crucial for early detection and management of cataracts, ensuring optimal eye health.
Treatment aims to improve vision and slow the condition's progression. Options include corrective eyewear like glasses or specialised contact lenses such as rigid gas permeable (RGP), hybrid, or scleral lenses. Advanced treatments like corneal Cross Linking, Intacs insertion, or corneal transplantation may be necessary in severe cases.
Regular monitoring by an eye care professional is crucial to adjust treatment as needed. While Keratoconus can impact daily life, appropriate management can often provide significant vision improvement and preserve eye health.
Corneal implants, also called corneal inlays or inserts, are small devices surgically implanted into the cornea to correct vision problems like presbyopia or Keratoconus. These implants modify the cornea's refractive properties, enhancing its ability to focus light onto the retina. There are various types tailored to specific vision issues, such as presbyopia-correcting implants and Keratoconus implants.
The procedure involves pre-operative evaluation, surgical implantation under local anesthesia, post-operative care including medication and activity restrictions, and regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed. While corneal implants can offer significant vision improvements, potential risks and complications should be discussed with your eye doctor before proceeding.
Treatment for Kerasoft lenses begins with a consultation and examination with an experienced eye care professional who evaluates your suitability for these specialised lenses through a comprehensive eye examination. Custom fitting follows, where precise measurements of your eyes are taken to tailor Kerasoft lenses to fit the unique shape of your corneas.
Once measurements are obtained, the specifications for your custom lenses are sent for manufacturing. Upon receiving your Kerasoft lenses, a trial period allows assessment of comfort and vision correction, during which your eye care provider may make adjustments for optimal fit. Regular follow-up visits are essential after starting to wear Kerasoft lenses to monitor eye health and make any necessary prescription adjustments.
Proper lens care, including learning and following proper cleaning and storage instructions provided by your eye care provider, is crucial to maintain lens hygiene and prevent eye infections. Lastly, Kerasoft lenses have a limited lifespan and require periodic replacement based on your eye health and wear schedule as recommended by your eye care provider.
Diligently following these steps ensures the best outcomes with Kerasoft lenses, providing comfort and optimal vision correction for individuals with irregular corneas.
