Olympic pentathlete Kerenza opted for laser eye surgery with Optical Express due to her active lifestyle.

The 26 year old has competed at many championships over the years and competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the Women's Modern Pentathlon category. The modern pentathlon is multisport that consists of five events: fencing, swimming, horse riding, shooting and cross-country running.

Kerenza is also a qualified doctor, with a medical degree from the University of Plymouth. She serves as a British Army reservist and was named the Armed Forces Sportswoman of the Year in 2023. Her hobbies include scuba diving, for which she is a qualified diver.

For someone so active, managing glasses – or the risk of infection from contact lenses – can be challenging. Kerenza opted for laser eye surgery to reduce distractions and enhance her performance, she said:

“I feel like I've been restricted by vision, especially with sports, having to swim and shoot – having perfect vision is really important. On a stage like the Olympic Games, the less distractions and variables you have to consider and worry about, the better.”

Kerenza described her experience at our Bristol clinic as supportive and reassuring. She couldn’t believe how quick the procedure was and is delighted with her results.

Not only has the procedure benefitted her sports career, but she is enjoying visual freedom in her personal life as well including hassle-free camping, and easier socialising.

Kerenza is delighted with her results and the care she received at our Bristol clinic. She is one of the thousands of patients we treat each week, keen to join her?
