🔬 What is CXL?
CXL is a minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea by using riboflavin (vitamin B2) drops combined with controlled UV light. This process helps stabilize the cornea and prevent further deterioration.

👁️ Benefits of CXL:
✔️ Halts progression of keratoconus
✔️ Helps preserve vision
✔️ Reduces the need for corneal transplant in many cases
✔️ Safe and clinically proven

⏳ Who is it for?
CXL is ideal for patients with progressive keratoconus, especially when detected early.

💡 Early diagnosis is key — regular eye check-ups can make all the difference!

📞 If you or someone you know has keratoconus, speak to an eye specialist about whether CXL is the right option.

06/04/2026

Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea weakens, thins, and bulges into a cone shape, leading to distorted and fluctuating vision that glasses often can’t fully correct. It typically starts in the teens or early 20s and can gradually worsen if not managed early.

👁️ Signs to watch for:
• Blurry, distorted, or unstable vision
• Frequent prescription changes
• Glare, halos, or light sensitivity (especially at night)
• Eye strain, headaches, or difficulty with night driving
• Struggling for clarity even with new glasses

🔬 Using advanced imaging with MS-39 Diagnostics, we can detect subtle corneal changes much earlier than standard eye tests. Early diagnosis is vital - it allows for timely intervention with treatments like Corneal Cross-linking (CXL) to stabilize the condition and protect your long-term vision.

🛠️ Treatment & Management:
From specialty contact lenses (Scleral/RGP) and ICRS/CAIRS to corneal transplants for advanced stages, we provide a full range of specialist care.

At Vale Eye Surgeons, we offer:
✔️ Detailed corneal assessment and monitoring
✔️ Personalised surgical planning
✔️ Specialist management of complex anterior segment cases

🌿 Protect your eyes:
Avoid eye rubbing, keep eyes lubricated, and manage allergies to help maintain corneal health.

⚠️ If your vision never feels consistently “clear,” it may be worth looking beyond a routine sight test. We focus on understanding the cornea first - before making any treatment decisions.

📩 Book a comprehensive corneal assessment with MS-39 Diagnostics today.

This week, Tom was honoured to be an invited speaker and faculty member at the British Society for Dermatological Surgery Annual Workshop 👏

He delivered talks on periocular reconstruction, blepharoplasty, and ectropion surgery 👁️✨, and also supported hands-on teaching for candidates in skin surgery 🧑‍⚕️

It was a fantastic opportunity to share practical techniques, exchange ideas 💡, and learn alongside such talented colleagues 🤝

Thank you 👏

It sounds dramatic, but it’s true! Your contact lenses actually reshape your cornea temporarily...

👁️ Thinking about cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange? Here’s something most people don’t realise…

If you wear contact lenses, you’ll need to take a break from them before your appointment at Vale Eye Surgeons - this is when we carry out detailed measurements of your eyes (biometry) to choose the perfect lens implant for you.

Why?
Contact lenses can temporarily change the shape of your cornea, which can affect the accuracy of these measurements. Even small changes can influence your final visual outcome.

⏳ General guide:
* Soft lenses: stop wearing for at least 1 week
* Rigid / hard lenses: may need 2–4 weeks or more

Your eyes need time to return to their natural shape so we can achieve the most precise results possible.

✨ Better measurements = better outcomes ✨

If you’re unsure how long you should pause your lenses, the team at Vale Eye Surgeons is here to guide you every step of the way.

✨ Dry Eyes & Contact Lenses? Let’s Change That. 👁️

Struggling with dryness, irritation, or discomfort in your contact lenses?

It might not be the lenses… it could be your tear film.

💡 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy can help improve:
✔️ Meibomian gland function
✔️ Tear film stability
✔️ Inflammation around the eyes

The result?
👉 Better comfort
👉 Longer contact lens wear time
👉 Happier, healthier eyes

Because comfortable lenses start with a healthy ocular surface.

Book your consultation today.

Did you know we can test for inflammation on the ocular surface? 👁️✨

InflammaDry®

At Vale Eye Surgeons, we recognize that dry eyes are often a visible sign of underlying inflammation. We don’t believe in "one-size-fits-all" treatments.
That’s why we use the InflammaDry® MMP-9 test. In just 10 minutes, this diagnostic tool detects elevated levels of inflammatory proteins in your tears, helping us pinpoint the exact cause of your discomfort. 🎯

Knowing the why behind your dry eyes allows us to create a targeted treatment plan that actually works.

Ready to find relief? Book your dry eye assessment with our specialist team today.

💧 NEW DRY EYE TREATMENT: LACRIFILL

Say goodbye to constantly reaching for eye drops 👀

Lacrifill is a next-generation hyaluronic acid gel punctal plug designed to help treat dry eye by keeping your natural tears on the surface of the eye for longer.

✨ How it works:
The gel is gently placed into the tear duct where it forms a soft plug, slowing tear drainage and helping your eyes stay naturally hydrated.

✔️ Quick in-clinic procedure
✔️ Comfortable gel (no solid plug)
✔️ Long-lasting relief - up to 6 months
✔️ Helps improve dryness, irritation & burning

Unlike traditional silicone punctal plugs, the gel conforms to the anatomy of the tear duct and naturally dissolves over time, making it a flexible and comfortable option for many dry eye patients. (specialty.vision)

If dry eye is affecting your daily life, Lacrifill could be a game-changer.

📩 DM us to learn more or book a consultation.
