Orbscan

The Orbscan IIz topographer analyses the physical shape and contours of your cornea and allows our surgeon to decide if it has a suitable shape and is healthy and thick enough for laser eye surgery. It is the only topographer currently available that measures the shape of both the front and back surface of the entire cornea and can therefore provide a complete picture of the dimensions of the cornea.

What do our customers think?

All a bit spooky at first, but I felt confident and reassured that I was in the best hands. It was quick and painless and, in my view, a perfect result. The attention to every detail of care including the reassuring touch on the arm during the procedure was calming and much appreciated. All I can say is a big thank you to all for a first class service and outstanding care. I highly recommend it.
