Lawrence Gardiner’s AVC Testimonial

Name: Lawrence Gardiner

Treatment received at AVC: Clear Lens Exchange (CLE with IOL)

Why you decided to have treatment:

The main reason I decided to go for treatment was to have the convenience of having clear vision.

How was the AVC experience?

I was extremely happy with my experience at AVC, all the way from consultation to post-treatment. I was recommended to go and see the AVC team by a colleague, and I would definitely recommend them to others.

How has your life changed post-treatment?

As the MD of an engineering company, I have to travel a lot and not having to take glasses around with me everywhere makes life a lot simpler. I can read better, work on my computer and I can take up more hobbies. I am able to work on my computer for much longer periods of time without suffering from dry eyes and headaches. Everything I do is just that little bit easier now. I was also always terrible at misplacing and losing my glasses, so that’s one less thing to worry about!

David Thomas’ AVC Testimonial

Name: David Thomas

Treatment received at AVC: Clear Lens Exchange with toric IOL

Why you decided to have treatment:

I have been wearing glasses for years, and always found them really inconvenient. I am a real keen motorbike rider and have been riding pretty much all of my life.  It is really uncomfortable having to wear glasses under your helmet when riding, and I have always wanted to change this.

How was the AVC experience?

As soon as I went to meet Mr. Pillai at AVC I had absolutely no apprehension on getting the treatment done. I spoke to the team and I was really impressed by their knowledge – they were clearly experts in their field. I was comfortable throughout the whole process and I knew I was safe in their hands.

How has your life change post-treatment?

For me, I am so happy to be able to ride my motorbike with such clear vision and when riding on a race track I have fantastic vision now. Generally, it is great to see everything so much clearer. I am really happy with my results.

Beverley Pennekett’s AVC Testimonial

Name: Beverley Pennekett

Treatment received at AVC: Clear Lens Exchange Multifocal

Why you decided to have treatment

I have worn contact lenses for around 30 years. I was perfectly happy with my vision, although I had started to need to wear glasses occasionally for close work. I thought that surgery probably wasn’t worthwhile as I expected that I would still need to wear glasses for close work. However, my eyes suddenly became intolerant to the gas permeable lenses, and although I was able to wear soft lenses, I found that the vision was poor and my eyes were very dry. I made an appointment with AVC to investigate the possibility of laser treatment and learned that, while this wasn’t really an option for me, Clear Lens Exchange was.

How was the AVC experience?

The treatment was painless and very easy. The procedure was explained carefully so that I was fully aware of what to expect. I was perfectly comfortable during the procedure itself (30 years of wearing contact lenses have left me with very little squeamishness about my eyes!) which took around 20 minutes. I left the operating room perfectly conscious and I had immediate improvement in my vision.

How has your life changed post-treatment?

I love my new eyes! I can wake in the morning and see the clock and admire the pattern on the curtains without having to search for my specs (although that particular habit took a little time to lose). At work I can read presentations. Plus, (added bonus!), I can read any paperwork I’m given. When I play golf I can see my ball rather than having to rely on others to spot it for me. When I swim I don’t have to worry about getting my face wet and possibly losing a lens.

Susan Byszewski’s AVC Testimonial

Name: Susan Byszewski  

 

Treatment received at AVC: Clear Lens Exchange

 

Why you decided to have treatment

I had always been very short-sighted, and I never wanted to wear reading glasses.

 

How was the AVC experience?

 

The equipment used to measure my eyes was state of the art, so gave one confidence, especially the multiple readings. All the staff were very friendly and kind. During and after surgery I had excellent care and I felt like I had the VIP treatment. I was never in any pain and enjoyed being able to see from the moment I came out of the operating room. The surgeon was wonderful throughout.

 

How has your life changed post-treatment?

 

It feels quite miraculous being able to see without glasses or contact lenses.
