This will postpone your need for reading glasses for a while. I would then do a second stage KAMRA inlay whenever you needed it to boost your near vision, while preserving good distance vision.

I am about to have laser treatment to correct my distance vision but am aware that my near vision is starting to deteriorate. As my funds are low at the moment, is it possible to have blended treatment at a later date if I have already had corrective treatment for my distance vision? Regards Andy I have only just heard of laser blending treatment. I am about to have laser treatment to correct my distance vision but am aware that my near vision is starting to deteriorate. As my funds are low at the moment, is it possible to have blended treatment at a later date if I have already had corrective treatment for my distance vision?

About 1 in 12 are not suitable. Also depends on the volume of near work you do and whether continuous or interrupted. Some patients who do a lot of desk work use glasses occasionally and keep a pair on the desk, but don't need to take them home in the evening or weekends, or carry them around. We give you a pair suitable for your new eyes. Hope that helps! Dave Hi Joanne, Blending may suit you but hard to tell without the compatibility test results from the consultation.

I realise I would need a consultation but wondered if blending might be suitable for me. I am a solicitor so spend a lot of time reading docs and would need good near vision (preferably without specs!) Joanne Hello

The price depends on what you would like corrected. If you just want to correct your distance vision, that is currently £920 per eye, for the advanced blade free dual laser wavefront LASIK. You would still need glasses for reading however. (These prices go up in September by the way.) If you want to be able to have good distance AND reading vision and so be able to see near and far, that is more advanced and more expensive. This blended vision treatment is £1995 per eye for the blade free dual laser LASIK wavefront procedure. This price wont change in September. Hope this helps answer your question, and thanks for posting. You can call the clinic with code LT01 if you would like a free consult with FOCUS, as someone who has come through this blog. (0845 5000 500) Regards Dave hi John

We are both in central London in the Harley Street area. We at FOCUS charge £1995 for dual laser LASIK and I think London Vision Clinic is around £2100 or so (all prices per eye). If you want to come along to FOCUS, you can call 0845 5000 500 and quote LT01 for a free consult. regards Dave Hi Elaine

Does your left eye see well with glasses, when your right eye is closed? Have you ever been told you have a 'lazy' left eye? Because we are only treating one eye, the total cost would be £1695 for blade LASIK, or £1995 for dual laser blade free wavefront LASIK. If you could let me know how old you are (if its not a secret!), that will help me too. Thanks, Dave Hi Elaine
