We are proud to make a meaningful difference to our patients lives
Brilliant experience with My-iClinic for laser eye surgery. The team are clearly experts in the area, and I felt well looked after through the entire process. Honest, friendly and professional, I thoroughly recommend My-iClinic for anyone considering laser corrective surgery.
Really pleased with the outcome of my lens replacement in one eye and laser surgery in other eye, carried out by Dr John Bolger and his colleagues. Wonderful not to have to rely on glasses all the time, just for small print. I was nervous before attending the clinic, but felt reassured and confident in their ability to improve my vision and reduce my need for glasses all the time. The testing, surgery and after care were first class, all carried out in a caring and professional manner and I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic.
I had laser eye surgery done at My-iClinic and couldn’t be more pleased with the result- I can see perfectly now! The team is truly amazing; so welcoming and made me feel very confident during the process. The clinic is so nice it feels like home and I would highly recommend My-iClinic
I was recommended to My-iClinic by a consultant ophthalmic surgeon……he said it was the only place to go for laser vision correction………and I think he was absolutely right! John Bolger and his team are all, without exception, a pleasure to deal with and they are all professional, informative and assuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them……the aftercare is outstanding too……and even better….I can see!!
Have been dreaming about laser eye surgery since I was 15. Can’t believe that my eyes can actually see right now without contacts, woow. Will recommend your clinic to all of my friends. Mr. Bolger is the best.
PRESBYOND FAQs
Why do our patients choose Presbyond?
The answer is simple – they want to escape limitations and take charge of their life
Clear vision at every distance
Reading this with specs on? Everyone’s vision changes as they age. Now, you can have safe and effective laser eye surgery aimed at reducing the need for all those specs.
Life-changing results
Presbyond can help you feel like you’re winning the battle against ageing. Pause the clock on your eyes and regain that youthful confidence that you never knew you had lost.
Wave goodbye to your reading glasses and varifocals
A sense of freedom and convenience washes over you. Any anxiety surrounding your vision and dependency on lenses has left. You feel younger and reinvigorated.
Set an example
Your friends will be impressed by your bravery and proactive approach to life. With your new vision, you’re more able to accomplish your goals and are even ready to set more challenging ones in the future.
Remove restraints
No more accepting and tolerating ‘your lot’ in life. Your eyes can finally keep up with you.
Compare with other relevant eye conditions
Eye conditions are frequently misunderstood, so here’s a quick overview of the ones we most commonly treat
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is caused by abnormalities in the cornea and the lens.
If you have astigmatism, the front of your eye is not a perfectly round shape like a football. Instead, it is more oval like a rugby ball. This gives the front of your eye an asymmetric curvature, so light scatters as it goes into your eye. This produces a jagged and slightly distorted image. Learn more about astigmatism here.
Treatments for astigmatism
- Laser eye surgery
- Refractive lens exchange
Cataracts
A cataract is the clouding of your natural eye lens.
The natural lens is just behind the pupil of your eye, and it helps to make a clear image on your retina. Usually, this lens is crystal clear.
As a cataract develops, the lens becomes increasingly milky, causing a greenish cloudiness. It may also cause a glare in bright lights and change in the focus of the eyes, needing a frequent replacement of your glasses. Eventually, the sight does not improve with a change of glasses. Find more information on cataracts here.
Treatments for cataract
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition that causes the pressure inside the eye to be too high. If left untreated, this excessive pressure can damage the nerve that carries the vision to the brain; in severe cases, this can lead to blindness. Learn more about glaucoma here.
Treatments for glaucoma
- Eye drops
- Eye surgery
Hyperopia / Long-sightedness
Long-sighted – also known as hypermetropia or hyperopia – is when you cannot see things up close. It’s exactly the opposite problem to short-sightedness. Learn more about long-sightedness here.
Treatments for long-sightedness
- Contacts
- Eye glasses
- Laser eye surgery
- Refractive lens exchange
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is an eye condition that affects the shape of your eye. Rather than your eye growing in a sphere shape, it grows in a cone-shape causing your cornea to progressively thin and bulge.
Keratoconus can cause significant visual impairment, or it can go unnoticed, and your vision remains normal. Learn more about keratoconus here.
Treatments for keratoconus
- Corneal cross-linking
- Contacts
- Eye glasses
Lazy eyes
The usual cause of having a lazy eye is when the eye is very out of focus as a child. This leads to the brain ignoring the image from that eye, and the brain doesn’t upload the software necessary to analyse the vision. Learn more about lazy eye here.
Treatment
The treatment of amblyopia or lazy eye is to patch the good eye in order to force the lazy eye to work harder.
Treatment is only effective in children under the age of seven.
Myopia / Short-sightedness
If you are short-sighted (also known as myopic) you can see things that are up close but can struggle to see things further away. This is because light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina when it should focus on the retina. It focuses too soon. Learn more about short-sightedness here.
Treatments for short-sightedness
- Laser eye surgery
- Refractive lens exchange
- Intraocular contact lenses (ICL)
Presbyopia
Usually, between the ages of about 45 and 55, the autofocus mechanism in our eye gradually fails. When this happens, we have to increasingly rely on glasses to read computer screens or printed matter. Learn more about presbyopia here.
Treatments for presbyopia
- Reading glasses
- Refractive lens exchange
