OK, it’s here at FOCUS Laser Vision in London. The video of our breakthrough next generation Z-LASIK laser eye surgery procedure! I can tell you the results have been amazing. Twelve treatments on our first day, and everyone can see better than 20/20, 60% of them seeing an incredible 20/12! (that’s two lines smaller than 20/20 on the vision test chart, clarity usually seen by teenagers, and approaching the finest limit of human vision) And that’s just 24 hours after treatment. Wow.

Enough talking, it’s time to watch the video. just keep rolling after the procedure to hear Bella talking the following morning about her ‘miracle’! As a surgeon, this is the best bit of the job.

Z LASIK at FOCUS in London starts from £595 per eye for short sight – FOCUS want to make this treatment affordable for everyone. You can reach the clinic on 0845 5000 500.

You can hear Bella Roberts talking with me just 24 hours after her breakthrough Z-LASIK laser eye treatment. You can read more about Z-LASIK in my previous posts, and compare to Bella talking about her LASIK just before having the surgery!

Why have Z-LASIK all-laser eye treatment? Why have FOCUS Laser Vision spent more than £300,000 on this next generation laser technology, when a mechanical bladed microkeratome is only(!) £30,000? The answer. Safety, accuracy and vision results.

Femtosecond lasers have been shown to be more accurate, safer and give better vision results for LASIK laser eye surgery. Many UK clinics have installed the Intralase femtosecond laser as up until now it has been the only game in town. That will change now the Ziemer LDV has arrived. So watch this space!

Z-LASIK laser eye treatment has arrived in London. The first procedure happened at FOCUS Laser Vision on Thursday January 17th 2008. Yours truly was the surgeon behind the wheel. I did 12 Z-LASIK treatments and by the next day every patient could see better than 20/20! It’s a pretty amazing technology.Bella Roberts was the first patient to see the difference (pun fully intended!). Bella is 33 and a mother of three. She was quite badly short sighted and has used glasses for most of her life. She had been pretty nervous about laser eye surgery, whether PRK or LASIK, but was convinced by the new Swiss technology and put herself forward as the first ever patient to get Z-LASIK in the UK.You can see Bella talking about her vision and how she feels, just 20 minutes before she gets the op!Z-LASIK uses a new laser to create the flap in the first part of the LASIK procedure, instead of a blade as in traditional LASIK. Getting rid of the blade eliminates many of the main risks from LASIK, when formerly the flap was cut with a fine blade.Treatments start from £595 per eye for all-laser blade free Z-LASIK.
