Ensuring the best and safest for our patients
Both London and East Grinstead premises have identical sophisticated diagnostic equipment - to enable Centre for Sight consultants accurately assess patient's suitability, as well as accurately calculate their treatment to provide the best possible visual outcomes from surgery. In London treatments are planned and sent directly to the laser at East Grinstead ready for delivery !

Orbscan IIz |
|
Zywave Aberrometer |
| |
This instrument evaluates the cornea in 3 dimensions and assists examination of your eyes at consultation. Images captured using scanned slit beams of light are analysed mathematically to determine suitability for treatment, and assist in calculating your personalised treatment.
|
|
A state of the art aberrometer aquires wavefront data which is the eye’s unique optical profile and is used to customise wavefront treatments.
Wavefront treatments are performed where felt to be appropriate by the treating surgeon and used in correction of short and longsight.

| Pentacam HR |
|
| |
|
| Although we have the Orbscan IIz we also use the Pentacam which uses a different method of acquiring similar data. The two correlate well, however the Pentacam has some advantages which helps your consultant make decisions with confidence. In addition to 3 dimensional corneal data, the device images the cornea and the anterior chamber, which helps determine suitability for other procedures such as Phakic lenses and also provides data to calculate cataract lens implant power calculations for those who have had previous laser surgery. |

| Our lasers are permanently based within our surgical facility in East Grinstead: |
| |
|
| Intralase Femtosecond laser |
| |
|
The Intralase Femtosecond laser was FIRST made available to patients in the UK by Centre for Sight in August 2004, over 18 months before any other clinic.
In keeping with our leadership role, we have now made considerable additional investment in the latest and new Intralase iFS Femtosecond laser. The installation is amongst the first two in Europe (the other in Germany).

| Bausch & Lomb Z100 Excimer laser |
Like the Intralase, the Bausch & Lomb Z100 Excimer is permanently housed within our surgical facility. This is a state of the art scanning spot laser, that performs a variety of personalised treatment options and also has the Advanced Control Eye Tracker (ACE) Iris Recognition and Registration technology another UK first !
As advisors to Bausch and Lomb we have intimate understanding of this platform and always have the most advanced and up to date technology installed. |

| Advanced Control Eye Tracker - Iris recognition & registration |
| |
|
| Iris recognition, similar to that used in security installations, is used to register and track the eye in four directions. This technology ensures absolute precision in laser delivery. It also has the benefit of recognising the eye, eliminating any possibility of treatment errors – a further safety feature. The Advanced Control Eyetracker - yet another UK first for Centre for Sight, is faster than the previous version and able to dynamically follow the eye if it rotates. |
