A solution for those looking to get rid of their glasses altogether including reading glasses, Laser Lens Replacement or lens replacement surgery is called a variety of names including Prelex and Presbyopia Lens Exchange and it is branded as Clarivu™** by one company. It has become as popular as laser vision correction – giving a whole new generation the opportunity to get rid of their glasses and contact lenses and providing the added value of near and intermediate vision! In essence, it provides a full range of focus and spectacle independence in the majority of cases.
Centre for Sight has extensive experience in Laser Lens Replacement having implanted Crystalens since 2002 (amongst the largest numbers in Europe) and a variety of multifocals since 2004. Centre for Sight pioneered use of the Trifocal lens implant in the UK (January 2011) and has implanted amongst the highest numbers in Europe. Success of this technique requires attention to detail and surgeon expertise to ensure surgery is perfect each time.

Laser Lens Replacement or LLR involves removal of the natural crystalline lens within the eye and replacement with a high performance intraocular lens implant. The procedure has a number of names including LLR, PRELEX, Clarivu™**, Laser Lens Replacement and others. This is often confusing for the consumer and at Centre for Sight, we believe in being very transparent and thus label treatments in generic terms.
Centre for Sight surgeons have considerable experience and preference for the Trifocal lens having used them regularly since January 2011. The FINEvision lens stands for Far Intermediate and NEar and is a true trifocal lens providing the ability to see at Distance, Intermediate and Near. For more on Trifocal Lenses click here.
