If the eye is too short for the refractive power of the cornea and lens, the image produced will be focused beyond the retina. The result of this means that the person will be able to see distances clearly, but close up images will be blurred.
Being extremely short sighted for most of my life, I have always needed really strong lenses, and so when it became obvious that I had a cataract problem with my left eye (which was usually my better eye), I must admit I found it extremely worrying, especially as I was only 48 years old.
I had heard how successful cataract removals were supposed to be these days, but anything to do with touching the eyes made me extremely nervous and anxious about the forthcoming process.
However, upon meeting you, my anxiety was immediately dissipated. Your manner and professionalism put me at ease straight away. Even on the day of the operation, although I did feel a little nervous of what was going to happen the way you explained every step as you were proceeding, was very helpful at making my nervousness disappear, and in no time at all it was ll over. I particularly appreciated your phone call at home to see if everything was alright.
It is wonderful to be able to wake up each morning and be able to see without putting glasses on, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in coming back to have the cataract in my right eye removed when it become necessary.
I will definitely be recommending you to anybody else who is in need of a cataract operation in the future.

200 medical students and junior doctors attended a Regional Teaching Day organised by, LaserVision’s very own, Rakesh Jayaswal in which he lectured on the subject of cornea and refractive surgery.
The teaching day took place on the 24th March at the Wessex Deanery and was aimed at students who are keen in pursuing a career in eye surgery. One medical student commented that the day was both “educational and inspiring” – a great success for Rakesh!

On January 21st Mike Tappin, a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Laser Vision, was invited to speak at the European Eye Bank Association’s annual meeting – this year taking place in Rotterdam.
The Association is formed for the advancement of eye banking. Its mission is to help provide tissues and cells of optimum quality and safety for transplantation and the treatment of eye diseases, according to the highest medical and scientific standards, and making them available to as many patients in need as possible in an ethical and humanitarian way.
The main focus of the 2012 EEBA Meeting lay on all aspects of lamellar keratoplasty, ranging from techniques for surgical pre-dissection of corneal donor tissue to clinical outcomes. Mike spoke at the event about an innovative instrument he has devised to assist in corneal transplant operations. This instrument is a prototype endothelial inserter.
This summer, Laser Vision’s very own, Mike Tappin will be taking on the challenge of a 210 mile cycle ride.
Mike and his friends Bernard, Charlie and Tim will begin the journey at Seven Hills on 29th June and hope to finish at Surrey Hills on 1st July.
The team hope to raise £3,000 for Brigitte Trust.
Brigitte Trust volunteers offer a free service of emotional support and practical help at home to people and their families facing the enormous challenge of life-threatening illness.
If you would like to help Mike and the boys reach their target then please donate at http://www.justgiving.com/7Hills.
