Implantable contact lenses are similar to the flexible implants used in modern cataract surgery, but they are implanted in the eye to correct vision without removing the natural lens. This treatment is commonly used to treat high glasses prescriptions and astigmatism.

How does laser eye surgery work?

Laser eye surgery (laser sight correction) involves precise reshaping of the cornea to very accurately correct short sight (myopia), long sight (hyperopia), and astigmatism. At Moorfields Private we offer LASIK and surface laser treatments (PRK, LASEK, and TransPRK).

At Moorfields Private, your laser eye surgery cost will depend on your prescription, the type of treatment you are having, and the consultant you choose. You can always rest assured that you will receive the highest quality of care from world-class surgeons using the most advanced refractive laser equipment available.

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) involves replacing the natural lens inside the eye with a synthetic implant called an intraocular lens. It is performed to reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses.

RLE is suitable for people over 50 years of age and have a glasses prescription higher than the normal range for laser eye surgery.
