Stephen Webb's Advice to Others
“I wish I’d done it a year, two years before. Anyone that’s considering surgery on their eyes, just book the consultation. Don’t sit at home worrying about what the operation is like, just go for it. There’s no pain, let me stress that… there’s absolutely no pain before, during or after. So don’t worry about it, just get it done!”

What is Laser Lens Replacement?
Laser Lens Replacement (otherwise known as Refractive Lens Exchange) is an advanced vision correction procedure that replaces the eye’s natural lens with a high-performance artificial lens, tailored to your specific lifestyle and prescription.
This solution is ideal for people over 45 who experience difficulty focusing on nearby objects (presbyopia), or for those whose prescription has outgrown the limits of laser eye surgery. It also prevents cataracts from developing in the future.
Performed using femtosecond laser precision, the procedure is completed in under 20 minutes per eye, with minimal downtime and visual results that are often life-changing for patients. Click the button below to find out more.
