Television presenter, Ruth Langsford, has had her sight restored and no longer needs to use glasses or contact lenses thanks to revolutionary lens replacement surgery. And she is visiting Cheshire on 18 November to tell local residents all about it.
Ruth, 52, describes the experience as 'liberating and life-changing' and urges people to look into the procedure which also prevents getting cataracts. The treatment is available from Optegra Manchester Eye Hospital.
Ruth explains: "Life before the surgery was very irritating and frustrating. It was particularly difficult at work if I had to readjust from reading auto cue or interviewing guests to checking facts on my notes. I would have to have my glasses to hand at all times, to put them on to read my notes and then take them off again."
Having been told that she wasn't suitable for laser eye surgery Ruth had given up all hope of life without glasses but then she met with the team at Optegra who offer Clarivu™ Total Vision Correction, which is an alternative to laser eye surgery for people over 50. It corrects both long and short-sightedness and prevents cataracts in one simple, permanent lens replacement procedure.
Ideal for the over 50's, where laser eye surgery becomes less suitable to correct refractive errors (such as long and short-sightedness and astigmatism), Clarivu can give freedom from glasses and contacts in one simple, permanent lens replacement procedure.
Clarivu is Optegra's exclusive refractive lens exchange (RLE), a procedure that involves a surgeon replacing the eye's natural lens with a new, permanent, and technically advanced Intra Ocular Lens (IOL). This provides the additional focusing power previously provided by glasses or contact lenses for both distance and reading.
Ruth continued: "My sight with contact lenses just wasn't sharp enough, so I used to mark up my scripts wearing glasses and then I'd put my lenses in for the show – but it was always a relief to take them out afterwards.
"The procedure itself took 15 minutes per eye in two separate sessions four days apart.
"The freedom from wearing glasses is amazing. When I used to leave the house my main priority would be glasses above wallet or keys but now I just grab my bag and off I go. I don't even think about it anymore."
Clarivu™ is available exclusively from Optegra specialist eye hospital group.
Ruth Langsford is hosting an exclusive event in a Cheshire hotel from 7pm on 18 November to celebrate her new sight and share information with others who may be interested in the procedure.
