Loughborough Optometrist Achieves Zeiss Optician Status

LEICESTER, U.K. - Sept. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- ‘As one of Loughborough’s leading independent opticians, unlike many of our corporate competitors, we prescribe the most appropriate lens from any manufacturer – that lens that best suits the needs and lifestyle of our patients combined with optimal eye health benefits, but its great to have the status to be associated with one of the most premium and recognised and well known brands in the world such as Zeiss’, said lead Optometrist and Managing Director Mohammed Bhojani.

It was ongoing professional development and the training of support staff in order to maintain the highest standards of clinical care and the rigorous continuing education programme that their 3 optometrists undertake that led them to achieve this prestigious recognition.

Visual Answers have also invested in a Zeiss Cirrus OCT (Ocular Coherance Tomography) eye scanner. This hospital-grade technology is quick, non-invasive and pain-free. It helps in the early detection and diagnosis of  many eye conditions including glaucoma and macular degeneration – one of the most common causes of blindness in the Western word. It does this by taking 3D scans of the eye and retina allowing the eye care specialists like Mohammed to look below the surface of the layers of the retina to detect microscopic sight-threatening changes to eye conditions.

‘The earlier the detection of conditions like AMD (Macular Degeneration) and glaucoma the more likely it is to prevent permanent damage and sight loss and the more successful are the long term treatment options’, said Mohammed

Altough this technology is now available in private hospitals a single scan costs over £200 plus consulatant charges to review the scans taken.
