Getting a chap back to driving vision after serious eye problems is a tremendous moment, believes London optometrist, Viren Jani, who has recently achieved just that. Viren, who regularly sees patients referred from Moorfields, is a keen user of No7’s Elements Hybrid lens for the most demanding cases –

“I had a very myopic chap referred to me  –  in his 30s he was no longer able to drive, which was a major factor for him.  His prescription was -16.00D with a 6D corneal astigmatism, so I put him into Elements lenses, and he was delighted with the results and had vision that was good enough to start driving again.”

Another chap referred by Moorfields, following a retinal detachment, had a prescription of -22.00 D with a high cyl –

“This 22 year old was a challenging case – he had had some corneal surface surgery and we just couldn’t bring his vision up to a good enough level with specs, so I put him into Elements and we achieved 6/12+. It was a very satisfying fit and comfort-wise was very good.  The comfort comes from the way it vaults the cornea and stabilises – much better than a gas permeable lens. The patient is very happy with both vision and comfort.

“Elements now supersedes anything else that we might consider – not just for fit and comfort but also for the gentle transition between the zones,” said Viren.

Viren Jani’s practice is in New Quebec Street, in the Harley Street area of London.
