The needs of each patient dictate the way we employ our Laser Eye Surgery technology.
Some Laser Eye Surgery clinics still work with relatively basic information and measurements, such as your lens prescription and wavefront analysis. But at London Vision Clinic, we know that world-class Laser Eye Surgery treatment requires much more.
We understand that no two eyes are the same. So, when considering prospective patients, our first task is to make sure we understand your eyes completely, down to the finest details. To do this, we employ the best possible technology available. Our personalised treatment plans are based on the results of our comprehensive screening process and years of pioneering ophthalmic research. This ensures your treatment is tailored specifically to each of your unique eyes.
Our laser eye surgeons don’t just train with specialist technology! They help design it.
Artemis Insight 100™ scanners. Deemed the most accurate corneal scanner in the world, this impressive technology was developed by our very own founder and expert surgeon, Professor Dan Reinstein. Since its invention during the 1990s, the Artmeis Insight 100™ has greatly enhanced patient safety and refractive outcomes across the Laser Eye Surgery industry.
The superior imaging and biometric capabilities of this technology allow us to confidently diagnose eye diseases earlier and treat patients who might previously have been rejected for Laser Eye Surgery.
London Vision Clinic was the first in the world to have the Artemis Insight
London Vision Clinic’s unique partnership with Carl Zeiss Meditec, a world-leading laser manufacturer.
Carl Zeiss Meditec MEL 90 Excimer laser
The Carl Zeiss MEL 90 excimer laser offers unrivalled accuracy in its auto-stabilised, calibrated laser energy delivery. It uses closed-loop energy stabilisation, the first laser to do so.
This gives the fastest response time of any laser in the world without the need for frequent user calibration.
Professor Reinstein was part of the Carl Zeiss team that developed the MEL 80 and MEL 90 lasers. These state-of-the-art lasers have been proven to be the most accurate refractive lasers in the world, as determined by rigorous US FDA trials.
Slit Lamp Biomicroscope
CSO Osiris Corneal Topographer
Advanced mapping of the cornea before laser eye surgery and lens replacement procedures, providing precise measurements to help plan safe, personalised treatment.
Leica Manual Phoropter
Used during your eye examination to accurately measure your prescription and determine the clearest, most comfortable vision before laser eye surgery or lens replacement procedures.
ZEISS CIRRUS HD-OCT Scanner
Creates high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve to assess eye health before laser eye surgery and monitor long-term outcomes after treatment.
OCULUS Corvis® ST
Measures the biomechanical strength and response of the cornea, helping assess suitability for laser eye surgery and supporting personalised treatment planning.
ZEISS IOLMaster® 700
Uses advanced optical biometry to measure the eye with exceptional precision, helping select the most accurate lens implant for cataract and lens replacement surgery.
CSM SUOER Microscope
xamines the health and density of the corneal endothelial cells, helping confirm your cornea is healthy before laser eye surgery or lens replacement procedures.
AcuTarget HD™ Analyzer
Measures the optical quality of your vision by analysing light scatter and visual performance, helping determine the most suitable treatment for your eyes.
ZEISS Atlas Corneal Topographer
Creates a detailed map of the cornea, helping assess eye shape, detect irregularities and plan personalised laser eye surgery with exceptional precision.
Artemis Insight 100™ Ultrasound Scanner
The Artemis Insight 100™ Ultrasound Scanner is the world’s most accurate corneal scanner. It provides more precise measurements for corneal thickness for Laser Eye Surgery and accurate measurements from behind the iris for ICL surgery than any other scanner in the world. Accurate to 1 micron (1/1000th of a millimetre) in the cornea, it is the most accurate method for planning the anatomy of any vision correction surgery. This pioneering technology resulted from bio-engineering ophthalmic research conducted by Professor Reinstein and his coworkers at Cornell University in New York in the early 1990s.
The Artemis Insight™ is more accurate than optical coherence tomography (OCT), tomography or hand-held ultrasound machines. As such, it is the most sensitive method of mapping the individual layers of the cornea, as well as the internal structures of the eye. This makes it invaluable in the planning of Laser Eye Surgery, ICL surgery, and cataract surgery.
The Artemis Insight 100™ scanner also aids earlier diagnosis of eye conditions which can have significant implications for the long-term safety of corneal laser surgery and other refractive treatments. Professor Reinstein led the research that led to the development of the Artemis Insight, establishing the most accurate way to measure inside the eye, behind the iris, to improve sizing for implantable collamer lenses (ICLs).
Professor Reinstein founded the London Vision Clinic in 2002 on the premise of offering the best possible diagnostic capabilities. The invention of the Artemis Insight made us the first and for many years, the only clinic in the world to provide the benefits of this state-of-the-art technology.
Carl Zeiss Meditec VISUMAX 800 Femtosecond laser
The Carl Zeiss Meditec VISUMAX 800 is the latest (3rd) generation femtosecond laser. It is more precise and energy-efficient than any of its predecessors and is also the only femtosecond laser in the world that does not increase pressure inside the eye. This helps to ensure patients feel no pain during their treatment. The unique accuracy of the VISUMAX 800 laser makes it the only femtosecond laser suitable for performing “keyhole” LASIK: SMILE Pro.
Furthermore, this laser is associated with a significantly reduced risk of sub-conjunctival haemorrhages – the little red marks that can develop on the whites of the eyes when using older femtosecond laser technology. While harmless, these haemorrhages are undesirable for most patients. The Carl Zeiss VISUMAX 800 is used as standard in our normal treatment price.
Pupillometry
The MS39 allows us to measure the size of a patient’s pupils dynamically in a range of light settings. This data helps us ensure that the outcomes from treatment are seamless from day to night and best avoid any potential issues with night vision.
Topography and Tomography
Topography is a vital part of the screening process. It allows us to create a “map” of the front and back surfaces of the cornea. We use multiple topographers to measure the eye’s curvature, including Atlas, the Pentacam, and the MS-39, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the cornea.
CSO Osiris Wavefront Aberrometer
The CSO Wavefront Aberrometer measures the path light takes as it enters the eye. The Osiris has a unique design that enables it to measure aberrations with a resolution of 45,000 points; 400 times more than the next closest device on the market! This extremely high-resolution wavefront helps to build a detailed picture or map of the eye. This technology is used to build a custom-programmed treatment for each patient and each eye.
