Implantable Lenses Transform Caroline’s Life

Mum and housewife, Caroline McKenna, from the Isle of Dogs was another of the Dream Makeover Essex winners who’s life has been transformed by treatment at Advanced Vision Care. Caroline had pioneering ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) treatment, which is the perfect answer for those patients whose eyes are not suitable for laser correction. It can correct very high short and long sight and astigmatism, with no injections, no stitches. At AVC we are proud to say that we are pioneers of ICL treatment and are now the UK leader in this procedure, treating more patients than any other clinic. ICL treatment has become the most popular option for patients who are unsuitable for laser, perhaps because of an out of range prescription for laser or irregular corneas. Caroline said her appearance had held her back for years because she lacked confidence, but her transformation has given a big boost to her self-esteem “There are no words to describe how I feel, or the experience I’ve had” she said. “I still can’t believe it’s me, especially now I can read what they can read. I feel so different about myself now.” She added “I have been turned into a new woman and the future looks great. I am so grateful from the bottom of my heart.”

Caroline’s daughter, Lianne, 10, persuaded her to enter the Dream Makeover Essex competition because she felt her mum needed a lift. Caroline was one of three lucky winners, selected from two thousand entries, who’s prize included hair, teeth, personal training, skin and, of course her eye treatments at Advanced Vision Care.  The winners metamorphosis were revealed at a glitzy ceremony last month, hosted by TV presenter Jeff Brazier.
