My myopia that had developed from childhood had progressed to an extent that contact lenses had ceased to be a workable solution. I knew that intraocular lens replacement was a treatment for correcting myopia but this had not been offered as an alternative. Mr Julian Stevens at Moorfields took a different view and, prescribed intraocular lens replacement followed by fine-tuning with surface excimer laser treatment. Such a combination seems to be available only at centres of excellence such as Moorfields where the newest technologies are evaluated. In my case this included a femtosecond laser which reduces the level of trauma experienced by the eye. (This did incur extra expense.). The implantation of prescription lenses corrected my vision to such a good level that I do not feel the need to proceed to excimer laser treatment (although this remains an option).
