WaveLight® Allegretto

WaveLight® Allegretto

These lasers have pioneered the use of wavefront technology for laser refractive surgery. With hundreds of thousands of successful operations, they have earned a strong reputation for safety and precision. These lasers use a scanning-spot excimer laser system with high (400Hz) pulse frequencies .

Laser spot positioning is achieved by the use of a galvanometer scanner, as well as a fast eye-tracker to register the eye position and to control the laser direction accordingly. Wavefront-Optimised or Customised corrections are delivered using topography and wavefront data, and interestingly the individual laser pulses have a small ablation diameter of just 0.95mm and a Gaussian shaped profile. This feature creates a “cool, smooth laser” along with short treatment time.

Zeiss Mel80 Excimer Laser

Zeiss Mel80 Excimer Laser

The Zeiss Mel 80 excimer laser is a ZEISS laser, designed to make the correction of vision defects even safer, more patient-friendly and individual. All the parameters of this ultramodern work platform are oriented towards increasing efficiency, achieving optimum treatment results and the rapid recovery of vision.

Single Vision Lens

Single Vision Lens

These are lenses which have a single prescription over the whole lens. These styles of lenses give excellent vision at a set distance and are often suitable for patients who don’t mind wearing glasses for certain common activities.

Toric Lens

Toric Lens

These lenses are designed to correct astigmatic errors within the eye and thereby minimize dependence upon spectacles after surgery. With custom made lenses, very high astigmatic prescriptions can be corrected with excellent outcomes.

Toric lenses can be obtained in single focus, multifocal and trifocal lens styles.

Accommodating Lens

Accommodating Lens

These lenses are designed to mimic the ability of the eye to accommodate prior to presbyopia by using a movable lens. These lenses often obtain excellent distance and intermediate vision. Reading vision is dependent on several factors but it is not uncommon to require reading glasses after surgery.

The benefits of these lenses are that they avoid the potential side effects of a multifocal lens but give an extended range of vision and therefore reduce dependence upon spectacles after surgery.

IC-8™ Lens

IC-8™ Lens

The IC-8 lens is a synthetic implant that replaces your eye’s natural lens and provides clear vision at virtually all distances. The lens includes a mini ring with a pinhole in the center. This advanced design helps focus the light entering the eye and once again allows you to see from near to far clearly.

This mini-ring creates a pinhole effect, which extends your natural range of vision (near to far) by funneling light through the center of the ring so that only focused light rays enter your eye.

Multifocal Lens

Multifocal Lens

These lenses are designed to maximize the range of vision by providing multiple focal points at distance, intermediate and near vision. They are an excellent choice for motivated patients wishing to minimize dependence upon spectacles after surgery.

They are generally very successful, but there is a degree of compromise. Some patients will notice a degree of glare and haloes around lights, especially at night, due to light scatter. Although this is generally not too bothersome, a small minority of patients may find it troublesome. These effects often improve with time.

For patients deciding for a premium lens solution, access to LASEK after surgery is essential as approximately 5%-7% of patients may require a minor adjustment to enhance clarity of focus after surgery and obtain the best potential vision.

I was initially going to write a brief review, but thought it might be beneficial to anyone considering using LaserVision Prema, if I gave a more detailed account of my personal experience? After 10 years of my eyesight gradually deteriorating due to age, wearing glasses became a necessity for all distances, which constantly frustrated me after having had perfect vision for most of my life. I'd heard of lens replacement surgery, so looked deeper into it and due to their positive reviews, settled on LaserVision Prema for an initial consultation to discuss options. From the outset, the experience has been amazing. The staff are friendly, making patients feel very welcome and at ease, there's no pressure to agree to have anything done and any concerns you have will be addressed, including any negative points you may need to consider? During the initial consultation, my eyes were thoroughly examined using a variety of methods and equipment, which gave me confidence the results would be accurate. Following this, I met with Rakesh, who performs the operations, to discuss the different options available based on the results. Fortunately, my eyes were suitable for any of the procedures. Rakesh took the time to make sure I knew exactly what the pros and cons of each lens type were, he also ensured I was aware that although my vision would likely be much better, nothing available at the present time will give me perfect sight back? In the end, I decided to opt for lenses which would improve vision at all distances. On the day of the operation, staff do everything to relax patients, and nothing feels rushed. The whole experience was easy and completely painless, taking approximately 15-20 minutes per eye. Throughout the procedure Rakesh will ensure you're fine. Although you can see enough to walk immediately afterwards, your vision is initially very much reduced, so you won't be able to drive. I'd booked a room in the Travelodge opposite in case I wasn't able to travel after the operation and walked to it without assistance. LaserVision Prema provide you with various eye drops, required to be used several times a day for a couple of months to ensure your eyes properly heal. I used these as prescribed and didn't experience any problems. As the day went on my vision started slowly improving, to the point where I could watch a film on my iPad, without it being too blurry. Later in the evening, I looked out the window and was immediately aware of a massive improvement to my distance vision, being able to see things clearly at distances I previously would have needed glasses for. The only discomfort in the entire process was in the evening after I'd had the operation, my eyes felt like they were gritty and began to water for two or three hours. Although it was quite annoying and noticeable, it was manageable. After a few hours my eyes stopped watering and the grittiness was at the point where I no longer thought about it. Rakesh called me late in the evening, in his own time, to ask how I was getting on and make sure I was ok? This is the level of care LaserVision provide. The morning after the operation, the improvement to my near, intermediate and far distance sight was incredible. This was done in December 2025 and since then, I haven't needed to ever wear glasses again for anything, at any distance - I don't even own a pair now! To give an idea, I can read unaided N4 size words on a reading chart. As Rakesh pointed out, it hasn't given me totally pin sharp eyesight back, but it really isn't far off and seven months later, I'm still amazed at what LaserVision Prema was able to achieve. The operation itself isn't the end of the process, you will also receive an aftercare service of follow up visits to check everything is as expected and to ensure you are happy with your progress. As mentioned, the results in how much your eyesight can be improved differs from person to person. This review is purely to highlight how impressed I am with LaserVision Prema, their professionalism and level of care provided to patients.

Tim Ford literally gave me my vision back — life-changing care! For years I’ve struggled with contact lenses, feeling frustrated and limited by my keratoconus. But from the moment I met Tim Ford, everything changed. He didn’t rush; he truly listened to my challenges, understood exactly what I’d been going through, and carefully created a personalised plan that finally works for me. His expertise, patience, and kindness are incredible — he didn’t just treat my eyes, he cared about restoring my quality of life. I can’t believe the difference; it feels like he has truly given me my vision back. If you’re looking for an optometrist who goes above and beyond, especially for complex eye health, Tim is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for everything! 🙏✨

Absolutely incredible service so far. The most attentive staff that greet me by name and make me feel so valued. My Ophthalmic Surgeon, Mr Rakesh Jayaswal has made everything understandable and couldn’t be a nicer, more relatable gentleman than he is. The professionalism from all staff especially Vicky, Tracey, Jane and Rakesh, has made me feel so secure and I know I’m in safe hands. The lens replacement surgery was a bit strange but painless and over quickly. Now just looking forward to my recovery. My sincere thanks to all involved . It is now 5 months post surgery and I cannot believe the quality of the aftercare that I have received from Vicky and Rakesh. My biggest concern was that after paying for surgery, I would just be left then to get on with things but they have seen me regularly and given me the most incredible service. Nothing was too much trouble and they have checked and checked my vision every step of the way. I have been made to feel like an important guest and their warmth and concern has made me feel so special. For anyone considering Prema, please take my word for the most incredible experience and I can read, see and do jigsaws with NO GLASSES. Words are not enough to thank them for what they have given me. 5 stars are not enough!!!
