What is iDesign?
iDesign is an innovative system which produces a highly-detailed 3D map of the eye and enhances your treatment. Capturing over 1,200 microscopic eye imperfections, your iDesign map is as unique as your fingerprint. This technology allows your surgeon to customise your treatment 25 times more accurately than a standard prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
In a study of 190,231 Optical Express patients with the most common prescriptions we treat, 99.2% achieved 20/20 vision or better following treatment.
Your precise and personalised iDesign treatment is a custom-fit to the exact specifications of your eye and can be applied to both LASIK and LASEK surgery. Recommended for most patients, it's essential for some, but suitability can often depend on your prescription and pupil size.
The advanced technology we use is provided by the leading optical technology company Johnson & Johnson and it helps us to provide optimum results for our patients. In fact, we're the No.1 user of Johnson & Johnson's systems in Europe. Book your consultation today to discuss your options with our specialists.
